I got 125$ for my birthday I can afford to spend on purchasing some supplies, so that's my absolute limit. What I want to know is, is that enough to purchase everything I need to obtain a modded DS. From what I understand so far is this:
I can get a first generation DS for 72 dollars (80 - 10% for my gamestop card).
That laves me with around 50 dollars to obtain the R4 flashcart (or another) along with an SD card. It seems feasible, but do I need anything else? Also does anyone have a certain website they'd recommend to buy my R4 at? How much do R4's typically run?
Any other advice/criticism of this plan would be appreciated (including suggesting an alternative if you have a better idea). Thanks.
Oh, and for the record I have plenty of DS games laying around from an old DS my brother had he gave me. But I'd prefer to be able to use the ROMs for them (instead of the physical media). Is it practical to use downloaded roms off of the net (I know it's only legal if you own the media) by using the R4 + SDmicro card?
I read there may be trouble with saving using this method.
