There are so many different versions of R4 cards and also the Gateway Card, so could you help me out by advising me which is the correct R4 card to buy to be able to play the 3DS roms downloaded from the net.
you want to play 3ds roms ? check your 3ds version first .
If your firmware version is stayed on v4.1-4.5 , i recommend you the MT-card from the usa based official site : http://www.usar4.com/mt-card-mtcard-pla...-card-p-10.html with the latest firmware , it support all 3ds games and 3 eshop games . with the multikernel V1.02 , you can play gba games with the blue card .
If your firmware version is above V4.5 or has been update to the latest version , i recommend you get the supercard dstwo , which is the best flashcart for paly ds games , it support GBA/SNES/DS games, you can read ebook , watch movies and listen music while not play games .
gateway 3ds only works on system version 4.1-4.5 3ds consoles, if you have updated your system to the latest version, I'd recommend buying the wood gold r4i card http://www.thegamerdepot.com/buy-wood-r...sids-p-150.html hope it helps
If your n3ds/xl firmware stayed on v4.1-4.5,you can use r4i gold 3ds deluxe edition play 3ds games on your console,this is the only one r4 card to support 3ds rom,yet,compared to other powerful 3ds game card,i dont suggest you buy this r4 card,recommend you buy gateway 3ds or mt-card.If your N3DS/XL firmware higher than 4.5, then you can buy r4i gold 3ds like this one : http://www.modchipfactory.com/wood-r4i-...s-lite-p-1.html ,this is the best r4 card for nds games or homebrew.
