Ordering 5 units of the R4 now (for me and my friends). I've got 2 options, Gameyeeeah and Divineo China.

Gameyeeeah: 220$ including shipping (DHL 4PX), but i have to pay using moneybookers(which i have to send the money to first from my bank which takes like 3-5 days)

Divineo China: 233$ including shipping (China EMS Post Service), but I can pay with western union which is almost instant.

I'm really torn, do I take the more expensive option with so-so shipping service to avoid the hassle of bank transfers, or take the cheaper option which has better shipping service (DHL-to-doorstep), but wait for like 5 days till the money gets in my moneybookers account. Safe shipping is important to me because I'm shipping to Egypt, who knows what could happen if it goes through the government's post service.

Over at winsunx I summed 5 units to 211.53$ (including shipping to egypt), they also accept western union

R4DS: 34.99x5 = US$174.95
Shipping : US$36.58

Total:
211.53$

With Express (5~7 working days)

Ordered mine from mrmodchips.co.uk for £32.50 plus £2.05 registered shipping. placed order at 15:30 and it arrived at 08:30 the next day.

Not the cheapest price, but fast and secure. Also got my xbox modchip and GC Viper from them.

How is that possible when they shipped my M3 DS Simply (shipped Dec 30) that was ordered on the 26th. And it going to arrive in about half an hour. (Called UPS and they said driver is a little behind schedule, no worries)

Unfortunately all of Divineo US's shipments originate from Canada. I don;t know why, but the last few times I have ordered from them the shipment had come from Canada.

I ordered my R4 from Divineo China since I have had horrible luck with getting things shipped from Canada to the US. I get orders from China within a few days, sometimes overnight and I live in the 4 corners area!

Go figure!

Ordered by R4 on Dec. 29 from Divineo.cn and was shipped on the 30th. Should get it in another day or so. The mail is stopped here today because of the presidents memorial.

Cost $45+$15 for EMS shipping so I could track it. So far I'd say that Divineo.cn is ok, as long as my cart comes in the next 2 days. They did ship out pretty quick though. Haven't got my microSD yet, may just pay the extra and get from best buy versus waiting for online order.

Did anyone here try winsunx? are they any good (support/fast shipping?)? can they also declare low value of the parcel to avoid customs?

also, why cant I login to my newly created account there?

winsunx's website is nearly non-functional, i cant log in, and i cant send them emails for support. What's up with that?

UPDATE: Well i can login now, but their support email isn't working

So, western union is going to charge me 27$ out of my 210$ to transfer the money, which sucks and rules out both divineo and winsunx(eventhough they both can take regular bank transfers, they charge 15$ for adminstrative purposes). that leaves me with 1 option, Gameyeeah.

So i've got to go to my bank, transfer the money to my moneybookers account, then order. I recon this will take nearly a week, then i have to wait for shipping

how long does this "DHL,4PX" shipping take? is that express, trackable? (gameyeaaaahhh)

mars

The site says 2-5 days, but they just shipped orders today due to some eathquake in China.

I ordered mine from gameyeeeah.com too; it was a pretty good deal, $100 for an R4 and an M3 lite perfect.

I can't wait!

Ordered from: modchipstore.com
Date: 12.31.06
Price: $44.95 + $6.95 (DHL Ground Shipping) = $51.90
microSD Card: 1GB Kingston from buy.com - $10.00
Status: mircoSD already shipped a couple weeks ago, R4 status is still on "processing" due to the holidays I'm assuming.


Same here. I live in GA also. I expect us to get it on Friday.

    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!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
