Bought mine from gamersection.ca . Still isn't here, but FedEx figures it'll be here tomorrow. Hoping it shows up today yet though.

Maybe they should use regular, old fashioned CanadaPost, since I ordered my DS Lite from Futureshop on the same day and it's here already, waiting patiently.

just got mine a few hours ago. loving this thing. great card all around so far.. no complaints yet!. got it from modchipstore.com for like 45 bucks. 1gig card for 45. though the card they advertised was a kingston. I recieved an A data. I dont want to wait to use it so I just took the A data. buyer beware when it comes to the flash cards I suppose. everything else though was super fast. amazing shiping speed.

i'm very tempted to get an r4 ds.. but i will continue to hold out for the newer cards which will probably have more/better features such as perfect download play and maybe gba support (bundled slot 2 card?). i really don't feel like buying a card and then wanting to buy a better one later. i'll hold out a bit longer, but i might cave and get one if the newer stuff doesn't come out soon

Well as the starter of this thread I’m happy to say I finally got mine!

It would have been here a week sooner if not for bamboo’s down time.

I got home yesterday to find a slip in the mail box saying it was at the post office, too bad the post office was closed.

I spent all last night reading the forums and downloading skins, I burnt all the software and a few *cough* backups on to a cd then went to bed, this morning I picked my r4 up from the post office on the way to work.

It took me literally 3 minutes to copy the firmware and *cough* backups on to my micro sd card with the supplied card reader (yay it worked fine!) while I was having my morning coffee at work.

I had a quick play at lunch and I was very impressed, every thing worked fine, I spent the rest of the day itching to go have and give it a proper playing with.

So I have been at home for about 5 hours just playing, dam its sweet. =)

I was looking forward to getting my r4 more then I used to look forward to Christmas when I as 5.

O.K, so I found out my item from gameyeeeah was delivered to some mystery person on January 9th...now i'm really pissed!

Found out they delivered my package next door, to which the neighbours replied they never received anything. After specifying their name that signed for the package, they got scared and I finally got my stuff. I'm pretty sure they never intended to give it to me :-/

But i'm happy I finally got it *phew*

I thought the same as you a few weeks back and was waiting for the supercard slot 1 and m3 simple to come out. I heard their was problems with the supercard slot 1 so I waited for the m3 simple. Everyone seemed to be buying the R4 so I thought it was time to jump on the bandwagon. Its a great card to own, can't see a better card being released. Download play seems to have problems on all the slot 1 cards. Being able to play the GBA and its dozen or so good games is no big deal to me.

Placed my order late last night from mod-chip.com, and when I woke up this morning I got a shipped confirmation email.

Great work Ostermman. Can't wait for this to come in, hopefully my microSD card from newegg will ship just as fast.

I think I'm gonna pull the trigger tomorrow. Apparently Gamersection.ca has a lot in stock.

I'm just wondering.. is it possible to transfer my SClite saves over?? Sorry if this has been asked but its a simple yes or no question..so... uh... thanks in advance.

  • 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!
  • 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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
