Looking for one of these to play DS ROMs on my DS Lite. Is this all I need?
http://www.gameyeeeah.com/r4-ds-revoluti...pter-p-190.html
Already have a Kingston 1GB microSD card in my cell phone that hardly gets used so don't mind putting it in here. It's coming to $39.65 shipped using 5% off GBATEMP coupon. I heard this site takes a good 2 weeks to receive products with standard shipping but I can wait.

they are a uk website dont know if they post worldwide , bought about 5 from them without any probs at all .
Placed an order with deal extreme 3/01/08 and they're unable to procure from supplier. To be fair to them they're pretty quick at answering queries and did complete a full refund when asked.
on the bad side the item showed as sourced and being processed on the order page.

i ordered mine off of dealextreme as aforementioned but they can't ship cause they ran out of the chinese versions as well. when i purchased it they said they were in stock. so now i'm waiting for them to return my money and then i'm going to get one from gameyeeeah.com, they are the cheapest next to dealextreme. hopefully this time it'll will go through.

gameyeeeah.com seems legit but prepared to wait some time especially if you choose standard shipping. Expedited shipping is indeed quick (only takes 2-3 days after it's shipped out) but ridiculously priced @ $20.
Looking at their forums, it seems entirely normal for it to take 2 weeks JUST for them to ship out. Reason being things that the website says are "in stock" might actually be on backorder. Then their standard shipping can take another 10-16 days so total wait time can be a month or longer.
I ordered through them since they were the only place I could get an R4 for under $40 but if you're not willing to wait that long, you might want to check EchoStore or Amazon.

I ended up buying from supercardstore.com for £32.55. Great service, I was emailed on Thursday to say they had them back in stock, ordered that evening (8pm) and it arrived on Saturday morning.

I ordered mine from dealextreme right before they ran into their shortage. It took me about 6 weeks from when I ordered it to when I recieved it. I would order from them again when they are back in stock, the shipping delay was caused by the manufacturer.

This may be slightly off-topic, but I'm looking for a memory expansion pack to use together with my R4DS, in particular so I can use the NDS Opera browser. I've seen quite a bit of info on the EZ Flash V 3 in 1 Expansion pack, does this work ok with the R4DS and is it straight forward to get working (i.e. just plug in and go)?
AddictSupplies.com are selling this for £13.99 which seems a good price.

Sorry, another question. In terms of MicroSD cards for the R4DS are there any recommendations? I've seen posts/details on the 2GB Kingston micro SD Japan, is there something different between the Japan version and other country variants of this? It's pretty easy to get hold of the 2GB Kingston micro SD for around £10 inc shipping but it seems the Japan version is more expensive, is there any reason for this or would any version of this card be ok? Thanks

I use the EZ Flash and it works fine. I don't recall having to do anything other than plug it in.

Ok, this is not about purchasing r4ds, but I have to warn you guys to stay away from Digimartz if possible. Here's what happened to me.
I ordered an item form them using my credit card, got charged for the item but never received it. I sent them a couple of e-mails to inquire about the item. No replies. Three weeks later when I contacted them through their "online support" system, they claimed that they never received the money so they couldn't ship me the item! They then tried again to send me the e-mail that they supposedly had sent to me in response to my previous inquiries, but I never get one in my mailbox.
So, I gave them the benefit of doubt (many things can go wrong in a digital domain, right?) and used my PayPal account this time to purchase the item. A week later, no word on the shipment of the item. When I contacted them again, they said it's SOLD OUT even though it does not say so on their website!
Ok, maybe other people had no problem dealing with Digimartz before. The first difficulty with my placing a credit card purchase could really have been some failure with their ordering system, let alone the problem they may have with their e-mail system. And my latest order will probably go through once the item becomes available.
However, I have lost my faith in this online merchant all together by now with what I had gone through (heck, I don't care if I ever receive the item from them since I have placed the same order somewhere else), and I suggest you avoid them also to make it easier on yourself.

Yeah, that's what I did, I'd say to go that route. Mine came in pristine condition with everything I paid for and worked excellent.
Something for everyone to note: It doesn't matter if you buy the older versions or not, they're so easy to manually update that it's laughable. Mine was out of date, and, with no previous knowledge of the R4 whatsoever, I updated it in less than five minutes. :) It's also fullproof to do.
Bleh. I'll make a sig later.
