I wanna buy an R4i Gold for my 3DS. It's 9.4 firmware. Whats the best site to buy the said object from? To me, pretty much all of these sites look sketchy.

Also, how easy is it to set up? And does it require a normal DS?
Thanks.

if you are in the US, modchipsdirect or wcrepairs will be the fastest option. Setup is super easy (download wood 1.64 firmware, extract the zip file to the microSD, place games in microSD).

no, you'd be lucky to find any site at all that accepts paypal when dealing with these kinds of products. Not sure about visa giftcard. You'd get better results if you look at their websites respectively or email them.

Prepaid cards in the US that are capable of online international purchases are being phased out. The prepaid card remaining can only be used in the 50 states only. Making these only good for tourists visiting the US or US residents only.

The new EMV standard is suppose to take over in the US. All my prepaid card advice several years back on here will basically no longer apply in a more few years.

Once EMV standard becomes common, you just need a EMV prepaid Visa that is capable of international purchases and/or online purchases.

Guess I won't be seeing any EMV cards around here then since I live in the middle of nowhere. Will I still be able to use a prepaid visa card on modschipsdirect?

If your prepaid visa doesn't support adding an address to the card, then your answer is no.

Your card may be only good on sites like amazon and in-person transactions only.

    @K3Nv3, not directly. Mostly use bluetooth earbuds nowadays but when I do/did use IEMs I ran them through a USB C / Bluetooth DAC (FiiO BTR5, but there are newer and/or cheaper models available too)
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I just kinda miss old earbuds just dont know any with type c that have that decent bass

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Consider one of the cheaper USB C to 3.5mm adapters, too. It is technically a DAC as well but less featured, less powerful, and less configurable than something like the FiiO but WAY cheaper and slimmer. https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Adapter-JSAUX-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH That'll get you a lot closer to plain ol plug-in headphones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That paired with any normal IEMs. KZ ZSN Pro are the cheapies that I actually really liked lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah these look cool little dip switches https://a.co/d/0HXRfVf

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    huh that's cool, never seen those
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I could still always use my old android phone as a mp3 player but I get lost in the music and miss calls that way

    Hey guys @realtimesave and @Sicklyboy. Anybody that I had missed?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    No one else that cares

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Thanks for the like and then taking it away
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It's been discontinued but you can find em second hand. It's the FiiO model K1.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ nice. I've been using my BTR5 pretty much daily, got it in late 2020. Mostly use it as a desktop DAC though and the battery has already swelled up in it once, so I had to replace it. Some day I gotta grab a proper desktop DAC that doesn't have a battery lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Yeah, cheap and nasty earbuds don't deliver the best mids, they end up sounding really muddy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I got mine around 2022 (iirc) and it was brand new, never opened, and for £15 too compared to paying nearly £30 elsewhere.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, That sucks when the battery already begins to swell up. You considering on a desktop replacement, and if so, which one?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ damn 15 is shockingly cheap for that. Even 30 feels like a good price just given what a bunch of other FiiO stuff costs. Granted, not familiar with what those were originally selling for, so who knows lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As far as a replacement for my BTR5, I don't really have my eyes set on anything specific yet but it'll likely be from either Fiio or Schiit Audio.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Better than tree fiddy
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, Originally when it came out, they sold for around $40 USD according to FiiO's news bulletin. https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/54677.html

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I would prefer FiiO as the better brand for a USB DAC.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like headphones reached a peak even ones from ten years ago sound better than new ones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, all depends how much money you wanna spend. I had skullcandy headphones and shit way back when but I never liked anything as much as the headphones (and earbuds) I use nowadays
    +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ yeah fwiw I've been quite happy with my FiiO BTR5 so I don't have any specific reason to not a FiiO again. Just gotta see what's available and how much I'm trying to spend lol
