The R4 is Fun!

Another pointless blog entry…

–The R4—

I got an R4 card for my DS a few days back. For those of you who don't know, the R4 is one of many DS flash cards. It basicly lets you use homebrew, emulators, play multimedia and run DS ROMs. It comes with a 1GB MicroSD for you to transfer your files, but I need a bigger one as I go on unsatiable download sprees. DSDooM and SNEmuLDS are my favourite homebrew apps probably. DSDooM is self-ecsplanitory, SNEmuLDS is a SNES emulator. It works excellently, so I can now play Super Metroid wherever I go!

Anyone here who has a DS should buy one of these. It will seriously be worth it, I assure you. You will never have to buy a DS game again as you can just emulate the DS ROMs you download. You may want to get the EZ 3-in-1 aswell. The EZ gives your DS extra RAM, so homebrew apps like Quake DS can be used. It also allows emulation of GBA ROMs and rumble.

The only letdown with the R4 is that it only supports up to 2GB MicroSDs. So don't buy above that. I'd also recomend the CycloDS and EDGE instead of the R4, but they all do the same stuff realy.

Ive also been playing on Condemned 2 again. Its fun, although the acheivments can be annoying to collect.

Ive been frequenting this site alot recently :

Its basicly a Sonic fangame convention. Some of the games are awful, but most are at least decent. There is a Mario fangame or two thrown in there also.

—The Best Song Ever—

It gets good about 30 seconds through. Sumo an I have memorised the words to this song. Thats right. ALL THE FUCKING WAY THROUGH.

Not to mention these :

Yes, we are THAT sad. Oh well. >_>

—Other Stuff—

I was off school last wednesday due to the Janitors and other staff being on strike. I'd only been back at school for 2 days and I was already excited about being off school. ^_^

Also, The Dark Night is the best thing in movie history. Ive been to see it twice and I already wanna see it again.

I had an R4. It was awesome, until it misterously stopped working. Now I have a Ninjapass, not as good, but it gets the job done

Whats the difference between an R4 and any other one? I mean they all do the same thing, the same way…

Bryan: They're all different companies making products for the same purpose. Unfortunately R4 hasn't been updated in awhile and it may very well be dead. =(

I thought the R4, M3 and TT were from the same maker. That's why they all have car names. At least that's my theory.

All the cards do the same but they look different and some have more possibilities.

But those differences are very small indeed.

I do the same as carnivac with music. When I know the artist is good I buy the music. But I don't care that much for games, I don't think they are worth buying. I just bought the DS because all my friends have one…

No not just all my friends, EVERYONE has one.

@ Distortion : Everyone around here just says : "PSP is awsome. The graphics are better." Not many DSs around here.
