Why do I want an R4 card for my Nintendo DS?

Because I want to make my Nintendo DS a multimedia machine!

This R4 card is the latest advance in flash cartridge technology for the Nintendo DSi / DS / Lite. The R4 Card enables your DS to accept a Micro SD memory card – and this in turn means you can now watch movies, play music, browse pictures, read e-books and so much more on your DS. It is the complete solution with no need to purchase any additional components or any messy software. This truly is the easiest media enhancer you could ever imagine owning for your DS console.

How easy is it?

Step 1 - Download music, video, ROM’s or home made games
Step 2 - Copy the files directly to the MicroSD(TF) card on your computer
Step 3 - Plugs and plays in slot 1 of your Nintendo DS without any passcards

There are R4 cards to support all the DS versions. Make sure you buy the right one – e.g. buy the R4i card for the DSi.

It has probably occurred to you that you could use an R4 card to play cracked software on your DS. We will of course state as you all know that this behaviour is frowned upon. Use your R4 card to play legitimate files you have purchased or created yourself.

There have been a number of fake R4 DS cards in the market. Don’t let this put you off the R4 DS. Make sure you buy your RS DS card from a reputable retailer. This is a great piece on how to spot a fake.
