Follow on Google News | Nintendo DS Mods and Modchips: Why I Like the NDS R4 The MostThe reason I like the R4 the most is not just its attractive price point, it's the fact that it played every game I threw at it. The NDS R4 Modchip may not have the fancy GUI. However it plays all the games I want and is simple and easy to use
By: Modchips Central The only thing about the R4 DS is the GUI; it feels like they could have put in a whole lot more work into it compared to its rival carts. Hardware wise however the build quality of the R4 DS is top grade and the fact you can remove the micro SD from the R4 without removing the whole cart from the slot is awesome. They even bundled the R4 with a couple of sick extra toys the cart case, the USB micro SD card reader and colour shell are great freebies that help further justify the purchase.. If you're looking for a flash kit with a ton of extra features and options to tweak in every possible way to you blow your eyes out, then unfortunately the R4 DS will not make you happy. It really doesn't offer any extras. If however you're looking for a slot 1 flash kit with no more then 2gb of storage and close to 100% ROM compatibility, “excluding some brand new games” complete "drag 'n' drop" ease-of-use then I definitely suggest the R4 DS. Benefits + Almost 100% ROM compatibility (from current tests) + No slow-downs or glitches in game (from current tests) + Completely drag 'n' drop, no software needed + Supports clean ROMs + Can Take out the microsd card easily and put in new one + Supports FAT and FAT32 + Great build quality + Fits comfortably in your DS + Nice toys in the package + One of if not the cheapest! What It Lacks - Basic, dated GUI - Lacking extra features - English firmware updates slow if not stopped - poor homebrew compatibility - didn't have full if any download play support - It won't work with the new Nintendo DSI In conclusion although a lot of people complain that the R4 didn't have the online play or the fancy GUI to me it plays all the games I want and is simple and easy to use. That is good enough for me it weird to me that marketers think people is attracted to more features. If the features aren't useful then the people will not brother buying the more expensive product. If I go to buy a DVD player why do I need one with 3 second faster pausing or any other nonsense? I just need a DVD player that works well and is high quality. The R4 is like a good quality DVD player in my eyes. Modchip Central currently has the R4i SDHC (R4 i) Revolution in stock. The R4i model is specifically for Nintendo DSi, DS Lite, DS.
