Things you recently bought or got

I went to Walmart yesterday, and bought two sticks of deodorant for a few dollars, as well as Deadpool (360) for $10. I'm unemployed and don't want to spend money, but I made an exception for a game I actually wanted, since it was even cheaper new at Walmart than the cheapest copy new or used on Amazon. I actually used to have this game, but it's one of many I let my ex keep when I moved out, so I haven't had it for a while. Now I can actually beat it.

Any quick pointers on using the R4 card? I had a Cyclo DS Evo back in the DS Lite days, is there any major differences?

That depends on the R4. Unless you know for certain exactly what R4 it is, a reproduction of an original or a clone, it's hard to say anything.

My time machine worked and I'm back in 2011?

I went to grab something for mom from the grocery store, and decided to rent a blu-ray from Redbox while I was there. I chose Ex Machina and, for some reason, they decided to give me a promo for a free one-night game rental. Cool! So I chose Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell (PS3), since it's so short (not that there was a big selection, anyway), and am trying to power through it and watch Ex Machina before 9pm tomorrow.

A week or so ago my Rosewill mechanical keyboard started dying (and finally died a couple days ago) so I decided to waste money on a new keyboard

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-920-006385/dp/B00N3OELPU/

Though it only cost me $129 cuz of a gift card I had sitting on my Amazon account for aggggges. It's a surprisingly nice keyboard, all and all, and I really like the RGBs on them (I have the keys set so it's a static red then flashes green when you hit the keys, it's pretty damn cool ) and the custom switches Logitech cooked up feel surprisingly nice.

Well here's the image from eBay. Any way to tell from that?

Spoiler

It was shown working in the other photos. Out of curiosity, what difference does it make if it's a clone or not? I checked out a website that told me the different types of R4 card but only identified them by the box, and no mention was made as to any actual difference in performance. Provided it plays games and doesn't die on me I couldn't care less if it's an 'official' one or not.

Clones from the DS era of flash carts were really touch and go. Some of them only have official support for games through 2009. Others are only good for maybe some of 2010. This goes on and on as one off clones were released that matched support at the time, but were never developed upon further. There was thankfully an alternative more one size fits all firmware that was developed, developed off of YSMenu, but it wasn't a foolproof solution for every cart, as it was sometimes hard to tell exactly what a cart was a clone of. The DS era of flash carts was a tricky, tricky time with a lot of disappointed people being very dependent upon patches for basically every new game that released.

Regardless, you hit the jackpot there are far as R4 cards go. That looks like the same 1:1 Original R4 reproduction that I've been using in my DSlite for over the past five years. All you really need is to get the latest Wood firmware, toss it on the microSD card, and you'll be good to go. It basically supports 100% game compatibility from my use of it, so you should be fine.

Traded Cars 2 3DS for a broken white DS Lite, gonna post a pic when it arrives. By "broken", I mean that the hinge doesn't hold the position, and there are a few dead pixels on the top screen, but oh well, it's only going to be used by my 9 year old sister so we can play together using DS download play.

Edit:

Here are the pictures that the seller sent me:

Traded my old Xl and a couple shit tier games to gamestop, and ended up getting a New 3DS XL for $20 outta my pocket~

 

[JulietStMoon]

I picked up Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late (PS3) and Soul Calibur V (PS3) off the "Knockout" sale PSN had yesterday. I've never been into fighting games besides Smash Bros., and don't have any real experience with them except a few minutes each with various Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat games, so I figured it was time to expand my horizons. I admit, I'm a bit nervous since I'm terrible at memorizing button inputs, etc, but I'm determined to learn.

I'll also probably pick up a few games off the sci-fi flash sale they're having... Again, despite promising I wouldn't spend money while unemployed. CURSE YOU PSN SALES!!!

We'll see, I already told her that if she doesn't like it, she can use my 3DS when we're playing together The DS Lite should be arriving on Tuesday

I wouldn't say I 'bought' anything but since my DS Lite and R4 card should arrive in a couple of days, I spent my morning kitting out one of my multitude of microSD cards with as many games as I could cram on there, the latest Wood firmware I could find, etc. Out of curiosity, are all the DS emulators for Windows total garbage, or is my laptop just a bag of wank? Everyting runs sooooooooooooooooooooo slow. Ever tried playing Sonic Colours in slow motion? Kind of defeats the point of it, really.

Just to note, I hope you only loaded up a 2GB microSD card. The original R4 doesn't support SDHC which is its one drawback and literally the only reason it has flat out been given away and sold for as little as $1 by Chinese shops before. And for some reason, DS emulation just doesn't seem to work brilliantly on computers from my experience, and I've never understood why considering DraStic on my phone runs DS games at full speed without issue.
