This thread is just to get a bit of a list happening for support and back patting for R4 owners.

I’m not one yet but my order is in, I should be a proud R4 owner very soon =)

edit: also another idea, tell us where you got it, how much for and your experience, that might help soon to be owners decide to get one and work out where from

me:

R4 DS : bamboogaming.com ($45 AUS)
1GB MicroSD also bamboo ($59 AUS)
Shiping was $20 AUS but saved me farting around as i could just pay via direct deposit from my net bank.

I also ordered one today from Bamboogaming but I got a Sandisk 1GB MicroSD from a local shop for $42.95 (AUS). I managed to talk him into matching a price from another store. He did even though the other store didn't have any in stock, good service that. I can't wait until next week!!!

I've just sent for mine. The review shaun did made up my mind to get one. Ordered it yesturday.

i had basicly made up my mind any way but that post was part one of a 2 part deal maker.

the other part was hearing that it can be flashed as an m3 with a little hack. incase the m3 firmware is ever better then the R4's im coverd =) however i still suspect that r4 is the developer and m3 is just selling it re-badged.

I ordered my R4 from mod-chip.com. Sent on 27th Dec. and arrived here in UK on 30th on the standard delivery option.

Only problem is that I'm still waiting for the microSD I ordered at the same time from Ebuyer to arrive -- due tomorrow 3rd Jan.

but this is getting scary..
i hope they dont go out of stock.

how come they have such a big stock of r4's anyways?
arent they just a small new company??

  • 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!
