My roms are on my works pc Andeee, when i'm back in I'll zip em up and post them m8.

Fox i'll do u a walkthrough or find one as soon as i can but its pretty straight forward as all u do is copy the roms u need onto a microsd ram via the adapter that comes with the r4 and bingo, then just plug the microsd into the r4and that goes it into the DSlite and away u go. a menu appears with all the games u have put onto it and u just select which one you want to play.

A 1gig microsd card costs about a fiver nowadays and holds around 25 games.

The R4 will accept upto 4GB enabling you to fit approximately 100 Roms.

This site looks pretty cheap but i'd look into them first before doing any business as i've never heard of them before.

Buy R4DS, R4 DS Revolution for Nintendo DS, Mod Slot-1 Solution, Free Shipping for R4DS

have you got a r4 disk or what ever there called yet andee ?

because i think all you'll do is load them onto a micro SD disk and then this fits into the r4 and bob's yer uncle ????

You also have to choose a skin originally but these come on a disk with the R4, just select 1 then copy it over to the microSD and thats it, then just copy over the unrarred rom images to the microSD.
I created a directory for each game and put them in there just for better housekeeping.

advice from slick but you have to extract them
