R4i Save Dongle Review - Someonewhodied
---Packaging---
Comes in a generic Envelope
Upon opening the envelope, there is the R4i box
Inside the box, there is the savedongle
Flat bottom of the SaveDongle allows for it to be used on a USB port that is right on top of another one, Game fits snugly into the savedongle
Firmware updating is very simple. Directions also provided on-window so that users don't have to search for directions.
Save Extract/Restore program is very easy to use. The only problem I've experienced with this is that it occasionally crashes after extracting a save.
