R4-DSPRO-Contents

* Pictures only for illustration only. Now stocking R4 SDHC, not R4pro

The R4 DS (R4DS) stands for Revolution for DS, and its 100% true. The R4 DS (R4DS) was the most popular DS flash card for a very very long time. Late 2007 and early 2008 R4DS was flying out the door and we would always find ourselves out of stock. It was the first DS flash card that was truly popular. Due to a bunch of legal battles, the original team ended up dissolving mid 2008.

Since then, a couple of other factories took over production of te R4DS, but no one was working on the software support. During the months that followed, other factories started to make R4s, but improved on their features (greater homebrew compatibility, and support for larger micro SD cards). It got a bit out of control, as there are now about 10 factories making them, and calling them all different things (New R4 , R4-III, N5, ND1, Nplayer, R4 Advance, R4 Deluxe, etc etc). We have sampled them all, and the winner in our eyes is the R4 SDHC. The reason why we have chosen the R4 SDHC is mainly because its realiable. There is no spring :) The reason why we have dropped the 'normal' R4, is the lack of support for new applications that come out, and the limits of 2gb cards. Do we still reccomend the R4? To be honest, not really. Cards like Acekard 2.1 are just as cheap, look better, and provide better feature/compatibility. Many people still feel like they need the R4DS since a lot of their friends have it, so we still supply it.

Most people will use their R4 to:

Use Homebrew
Homebrew is any bit of software that someone writes for a console that doesn't go through the official channels for approval and distribution, i.e. anyone can do it! The most popular homebrew applications are:

DSOrganize - an organizer application which includes a PDA, file browser, web browser, IRC client, text editor, calculator and more!
MoonShell – allows you to play Mp3s, view images, text files and watch movies!
Messenger Apps – IRC, AIM, MSN – you can now use it on your DS!
VoIP – Use your DS as a phone!
Emulators – SNES, NES, ScummVM, NeoGeo, GameBoy etc.
