just use a flash drive. I'm not sure what the largest game is, but 64GB+ should be good enough. I have 128GB with mine. if you're going to dump games, the default setting has the system shutdown after complete, so it's best to do only one game at a time.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

this is what I use: https://www.newegg.com/patriot-model-pef128gsmgusb-128gb/p/0DF-002J-00069?Item=0DF-002J-00069

it's fast. the only downside is that there's no activity light, but since the system will shut down once an app has been dumped, it doesn't really need one.

I have a HDD but when i plug in into one of USB port i get this.
cannot format this USB device as extended storage area. Use a USB device that meets the following requirements. USB 3.0 Newer storage capacity equivalent to minimum 250 GB, maximum 8 TB.
Thats why I'm asking which HDD or USB i shall use.
I need to expand it as a storage area and l can't do that with HDD i have.

have you tried both mbr and gpt? 'cause my system would only accept gpt with 2TBs. otherwise, the device wasn't detected. this was only for installing pkgs though.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
