This is an email they sent me. First off let me say buying these types of products are always risky. I know of many people who got the old bait and switch scam, Anyway

"Hi, Thank you for contacting us about your issue with the R4. We can replace the unit with either a Edge card or an AceKard 2 b/c we no longer carry the R4ds b/c there are too many clones on the market and we are afraid to purchase and resell a non supported product. Please let us know which card you would like to exchange your defective card for or we can always fully refund you for the purchase if you you return the defective product back to our company. If you are returning the item back to us please ship it addressed to: Blah Blah Address- Please include a note with your Name, Address, Amazon Order ID Number and brief description on how you would like your return to be handled.

Thank You & Best Wishes,

Digital Gaming USA Trading Inc."

What should I do? Are either of these good. Should I just stick with my R4DS V2 upgrade which I guess is a fake or clone or whatever you call it.?

I really appreciate all the info I am thinking though since the deal is done and its been a few months they may not even send me a new one if I send it back. I think Ill just get a backup from somewhere else. Ill use the fake R4 until Boom goes the Dynamite and SO the question is asked again. Which one I will order this coming wednesday when I get paid So Acekard 2 is in the lead its easy to use, good looking GUI, gives BJ's what else. Ah fuck it ill look at the other posts and reviews by this site. thanks again sweeties

There have been some hardware problems with some Acekard 2's lately. Acekard has been working to fix the problem, but it's unclear as to whether the latest batches have fewer bad ones. It's also unclear as to whether the store you ordered from will sell you one from one of the bad batches or not.

Mind you, the Acekard 2 is better than the Edge in my opinion, but keep in mind that if you run into a problem (it usually occurs during the first few weeks if it's going to occur) you'll need to return it for a new one. They should be aware of the problem, but you might want to confirm that they'll allow you to exchange it and that there won't be any extra shipping charges if you need to return it.

well after doing my research all frackin day (Sci-fi Nerd) I think the best bet is the CycloDS. Its expensive which of course means its the best right? Nah but seriously it seems like the best one if not that then maybe ill stick with the Acekard2 or Ill throw my DS away. Im fat and just online ordered a pizza from pizza hut i cant wait..

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
