Got my R4 after the sterling review from this site

It came from www.mrmodchips.co.uk and arrived next day. Same cant be said for the 1gb micro SD card. Ordered from www.7dayshop.com, seems like the 7 day in the title is for the 7 days it takes to arrive!

Couldn't wait, as soon as the R4 arrived I went into town and got ripped off on a 128mb one at carphone warehouse to keep me going till the 1gb turned up.

Ordered 4xR4DS from Winsunx, and just got the Micro SD cards from picstop.co.uk this morning.

So far everything is working great...tested all the carts and no problems.

I was gonna buy an M3 but they were out of stock in RHS and I thought "what the hell" and bought R4.. Pretty good stuff

7years is closer to the truth.. ^_-

Last time I ordered from them I waited 18days. Good job I wasn't desperate for batteries :>

im thinking about buying a r4 but im not sure.

[greyhound]

the best solution on the market at the moment in my opinion

Hello! Long time lurker but finally got the courage to buy a R4

Purchased both the R4DS and the memory card from http://shop.01media.com/ as I saw they finally had them in stock again.

Not had time to test everything yet, so much to do and so little time

Also, could owners of the gray'ish USB connector with 2 diamonds tell me how reliable it is? Even tho the memory card was cheap I'd rather not buy a new one

Ive had my r4 since tuesday but im still waiting for the sd card to arrive... I also have the "gray'ish usb connector with 2 diamonds" but i wouldn't know if it's the one that corrupts the card...

 

[111111111]

the grey oneis fine..

I have the one with the diamond pyramid things, killed my 1gb card. i was pissed, that is the problem reader.

 

[Dorkboy]

After tinkering a bit with the R4 I noticed the card gets really, really hot. :/ I guess I'll be fine if I keep the time in the USB adapter to a minimum.

Would purchasing any other reader solve it tho?

 

[GBA_Temper]

Im thinking about getting one but don't have money so its between G6DS Real or R4

No, the blue one is the 'problem' reader.. Most people with the pyramid one have absolutely no probs.(other than the 4.5mb/s max speed with it).

It is also the same reader datel package with their products.

 

[greyhound]

i also have the one with the weird pyramid design on top, no problems yet

^ how long/often have you used it?

I remember hearing something about 10% of these card readers being affected or something (dunno if it's to just the grey diamond one or all of them in general).

 

[111111111]

I've used mine about 60 times, anything from 2 mins (uploading skins) to 2hours (copying files off, formatting, copying files back on, leaving it idle in the usb slot until I need it).

 

[greyhound]

i've used mine about forty times(i just keep adding more and more games).

Once was plugged in 1 slot with my other TF in my 8in1, transferring all the old saves from my old 1gb card and adding new trimmed roms. It must have been constantly in use for over an hour that time

I just got the R4. The last flash card I bought was an EZFA. Too bad support for that card died a long time ago. This card is great so far. Can't wait till my 1GB TF ships so can I test out the R4's other features.
