Stryker412 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'm looking to get an R4. I only want to play NES/SNES Roms. Where is the best place in the US to order one from? I ordered from gameyeeaah but cancelled after I found out they were in HK. I prefer to order from the US. Also, I hear the new version (R4v3) supports SDHC, which TF card is best?

Mooney Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I got mine from www.echostore.com. Probably not the cheapest place to buy anymore, but meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered one off Amazon, because the seller has the v3's where echostore has the v2's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they and everyone else is backordered on R4s right now though Had to order in 3 CycloDS Evolution cards for people since I couldn't find any R4s. Great card too... but mSD card is a biatch to get out of them. Looks like som backorders are finally coming in for R4s now so I can go back to those beauties!

The person I'm getting from on Amazon, says they're the v3's. Those support SDHC right? If so, what's the best microSD card to get? I only want 2GB to start. Also, I heard the SNES emu runs at 200% speed is that right? If so, maybe I'll wait to order an R4 until the emu's are ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_cinder Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I've heard no such thing for support of SDHC, and the faq on the R4 site mentions no such thing. http://www.r4ds.com/product-en.htm#a4 There is also no mention on the site of any V3. There is tons of blabbing on GBATemp about it, but nothing otherwise and the posts are seriously OLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person I bought it from said to use this site instead of the .com site: http://www.r4dsl.net/index-en.asp Is this some sort of scam? This is the e-mail I got from them after I ordered: Hi, Thank you for your purchase. We would like to inform you that some customers are having difficulty properly setting up your R4ds card and are experiencing "Loading" Freeze Screen Issues. The Reason for It being stuck on the "Loading" screen b/c you are using the wrong software on your R4 V3 3rd Generation Card & The Memory Card must be reformatted to Fat 32 using the Full Format Option in Windows Instead of using the Quick Format. You "MUST" "MUST" "MUST" use the supplied CD Disk Install Files b/c this is the Newest Encrypted R4 V3 OS Files. Another Important Note is that R4ds has a new website called www.R4dsl.net *All Future Updates Must Be Downloaded At the New Site* The Old site only supports the Old version of the card which has no SDHC Support. Even though the OS Files you see might appear to be the same on the old website. "They are 100% different" Please only use the included files on the provided installation CD disk and you'll see that everything will work out perfectly. If you item you feel is still not working and considered defective then you can, Please return the previous item addressed to: DG International Trading Inc. P.O. Box 1020 New York,NY 10002 - Please only ship the R4DS card with Protective Carrying Case Only for replacements. We will ship you a replacement within 24hrs. after receiving your return shipment via USPS *Important Note: Please Include your amazon Order ID Number with your return shipment* Edited March 16, 2008 by Stryker412 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 SCAM. Theres no need to use FAT32 unless you are indeed using an SDHC card larger than 4GB (Infact it's slower than FAT). Not to mention "Encrypted" Firmware you MUST install from the CD?The firmware is nothing more than a zip/rar you unpack onto the microsd card, and you shouldn't bother using the firmware on the CD it's outdated. Sounds like a clone to me. R4DSL.net - http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=r4dsl&tld=net R4DS.com - http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=r4ds&tld=com Those don't match, and R4DSL domain was only created @ 2008-02-28 02:50:48 SCAM SCAM SCAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
