Consider getting the newer flashcards that are cheaper and better than the R4.
The R4 atm is outdated compared to whats out there now.

You shouldn't tell anybody DON'T buy R4. It's alright to recommend better carts, which is abundant out there. But prohibiting others to buy R4 is not right.
to OP: VRis arguable, try to find R4 at other store. VR has some likelihood to sell fakes
meanwhile, consider other carts, they're cheaper and usually better. just don't fall to fakes such as N5 or R4-Upgrade II
Were not banning their right to do so, but he sounds like an uniformed consumer that wants to buy a R4DS because he doesn't know whats out there at the moment. And most cards are as easy or easier to use than the R4DS.Raestloz said:Well, I bought my R4 last year for around $32. These days R4 is getting pricey, or so I heard.
Like I said before, better carts are abundant out there, but if one wants to buy it (maybe for simplicity?) Why should we ban their right to do so?

I do have to admit he does sounds like an uninformed customer. It just doesn't feel right to quickly jump in front of them and said "STOP right there!" when they asked something about R4, suggesting is alright, but I can assure you there are better ways to do it than using big red "STOP" in a post
Kevino said:OK, I own several carts, inlcuding the R4 (2 of them), Supercard DS One, FireLink DS, AceKard2 and an N5. By FAR, the R4s have been my most reliable, maintenance free cards. They are not packed with as many features, but they have the main features that you want. They never have issues, and it is much easier to get things like cheats to work. In fact, if you want to use cheats (I normally don't) then the R4 is the way to go. I've had my 2 R4 chips for over a year, and they are in constant use and have no issues. My AceKard2 died after a week of use, and I don't want to get started on the N5 (although I think I "fixed" mine). The Supercard DS One is also a nice card, but cheats are a total pain, and don't work as well as they do on the R4.
I only bought the other chips because they were cheaper than the R4. If you can handle the price difference, or if the price difference is small for you, I'd suggest that you buy the R4 - it just plain works.
ferrariman said:You say that cheats are the best on the R4 but that is not true. Most other carts have cheats now (DSTT, M3 Real, CycloDS Evo, Acekard 2, Supercard DS One, etc.) and can do cheats better than R4.
Can't agree with you more. Perfect example is WarioWare Touched. The cheats for those games make the game itself glitchy. It takes out the "5-sec microgames" thing.
QUOTE(ferrariman @ Jul 2 2008, 08:54 PM) And I've heard from Acekard 2 owners and DSTT owners that their carts are VERY easy to use and get updates SUPER fast.
