I am very very worry about my DS...

And now I have 2 question:

1)I heard that if a DS bricked,
it can be unbrick???
2)How to prevent R4 clone brick my ds?

It will not really BRICK your DS, some poor quality carts draw too much current and will blow F2 (the main fuse on the DS) It can be repaired if you are competant at soldering.

How to prevent - don't buy a cheap clone??

DSTT (fakes) - they seem to have the title of most likely to blow the fuse - however it is still very rare.

Despite most people's hatred of R4 clones, R4-III (frm r4dsl.net) has never been reported to brick DSs, and has been released since about...September 08, I believe?

It's really not a bad option, and you haven't been screwed as bad as R4 Ultra or R4 SDHC customers. R4-III actually gets support and regular updates, but you'll go through hell getting some of the cheats to work.

PM (private message) me after you get the R4-III, and I'll give you instuctions on how to get Chrono Trigger DS to work on there. No one seems to appreciate my work for the card, so you're better off just asking me in person.

(though doesn't the same thing happen with mis-aligned contacts on the flashcard?)
