I was looking to buy an R4i Gold 3DS RTS, and nds-card.com seemed the most dependable. I then stumbled upon threads here and here. The posters claim that they have had unauthorized purchases on their credit cards. Their payments most likely went through fashionpay.com. If I buy this through PayPal, is there still a risk for this to happen? If not, are there any other sites I can order a flash card from?

Do yourself a big favor and find a US vendor that uses tracking don't bother ordering from them. Unless your okay with waiting a month+ for your r4i card

I'm willing to wait a month+ as long as nothing happens. Their shipping page says that orders under 39.99 get free HongKong Air Mail (No Tracking#) that ships between 10-50 days, and I can upgrade to Hong Kong Registered Air Mail (Tracking No. Available) for two dollars. The latter ships between 7-35 days. Are these estimates accurate?

(BTW, I'm gonna go to sleep, will check posts tomorrow.)

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
