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.
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...
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.
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).
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).
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.
