there you go mate have a read - http://www.r4ds.com/product-en.htm
you will also need a micro sd memory card , this holds all your games and fits inside the r4ds .
a 2 gig micro sd memory card should hold 40 - 50 games .
as for the games im not sure if im allowed to tell you where to get em so ill just say google for nintendo ds roms :o)

woof811 - all seems too much for me - have a reasonable pc knowledge - but my download skills are as far as limewire. But i have 2 kids that cost me a fortune in games - PS3 & Wii for xmas - after 2 psp last year and a ds. There is a guy at my wifes job charging ?100 for the r4 with 20 games - does this sound like robbery? Or is the cost of a r4/sd card & dowloading time make that reasonable??

hello mate i thought id explain just how easy it really is , as follows -
first off the r4ds and micro sd memory card you can buy iff your in the uk from here -
http://www.supercardstore.com/ref1/produ...gialms3paneca52
http://www.addictsupplies.com/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=2
international from here -
http://www.volumerate.com/details.vr/sku.1459
http://www.gameyeeeah.com/r4ds-c-36.html
for international be prepared to wait at least 2 weeks postage as it will be coming from hong kong or china !
these are the websites that have been recommended by most forums and ive used 2 of them addictsupplies and volumerate .
as you can see the r4ds is cheap enough to buy and as for setting up it gets even easier -
1, put the micro sd memory card in the usb card reader and format it to fat16 ( fat ).
2, put the firmware on your micro sd memory card ( latest is v1.12 from here - http://www.r4ds.com/soft/18-en.htm ),when you download the firmware unzip and you will have 2 files and 2 folders , put these on your micro sd memory card and thats it firmware done .
3, put your games on the micro sd memory card , make sure if they are rared up to unrar your games and they are in .nds format .( a r4ds will only play games in .nds format )an excellent website for games here - http://www.dgemu.com/home.html
4, thats it put you micro sd memory card inside your r4ds and put your r4ds in your nintendo ds where you would normally put a game .
5, switch your nintendo ds on and away you go !
ive tried to make it as simple as possible but if you have any more questions just let me know , woof811.
ps. make sure before you buy that any website that has the r4ds in stock because some seem to be running out of stock as its coming christmas !
