Often referred to as a Nintendo DS Lite Mod - The R4 DS is not actually a Nintendo DS Lite mod on the same sense of things. It is actually a slot 1 Nintendo DS Flash Cart and Linker that allows you play Nintendo DS games and roms and Nintendo DS Homebrew files.

Much more then just a Nintendo DS Game player, it also allows you to load all types of homebrew software as well as Watch Movies on the R4 DS, listen to Mp3 Music, and even read ebooks. While the term Nintendo DS Lite mod may not quite "fit" in the sense that this is not some type fo internal or firmware modification to your NDS console. It is an add on / game accessory that completely powers up your Nintendo DS Console and allows you to do things you never thought possible... things that most Nintendo DS gamers have no idea are even possible to do with their trusty little handheld console.

With the wide variety of NDS Flash Cart and Linker bundles on the market today, it can be a little bit confusing when it comes to making a decision on which NDS Flash Cart And Linker to buy.

Because virtually ALL linkers and flash carts for the NDS Do the same thing, it really boils down to just 2 things.

1. As a gamer, you want to play only NDS Games and homebrew software with the NDS Flash Cart and Linker ?

2. You're a gamer that wants to play both NDS and GBA Games with your NDS Flash Cart And Linker


If you fall into the first category, then you're options are quite clear. There are 2 favorites (based on customer feedback and sales) as far as NDS FLash Cart and Linkers go, these two favorites are either the M3 DS Simply or the R4 DS - both of which allow you to play NDS Games and homebrew software on your Nintendo DS Console. They are Slot 1 Solutions, which means they fit perfectly into the Nintendo DS Cartridge slot on your NDS Console, allowing the NDS Flash Cart to act like a regular Nintendo DS game cartridge. You simply use MicroSD Cards to store your game and homebrew files and are greeted with a menu when you turn on your Nintendo DS.

If you fall into category 2, wherein you want to play both NDS and GBA games and homebrew software, you'll want to get your hands on something like the Supercard SD with a SuperKey / Passme in order to allow playing of both GBA and NDS files with the NDS Flash Cart and Linker. The SuperCard SD comes with 2 pieces of hardware. The first being the Supercard itself, which allows you to load and store GBA files, and then the Superkey or Passme which will allow you to load and store NDS Files, and boot / load NDS files on your Nintendo DS with the flash cart.

Take a look at all 3 solutions. The M3 DS Simply and the R4 DS for just NDS gaming and the Supercard SD and SuperKey for NDS and GBA Gaming.

This is one of the most common customer questions asked, when people are considering which unit to buy, the R4 DS or the M3 DS simply.

There's actually a really easy answer to this dilema, and one that requires some reading. We'll go with the quick and easy answer (not because we dislike updating our blog, but because this is in fact the best way to explain it)

You can buy either the R4 DS or the M3 DS Simply and at the end of the day, you'll have a unit in your hands that has EXACTLY the same features as the other. You'll be able to achieve exactly the same things with either the R4 DS or the M3 DS Simply.

Both of these units are manufactured at the same factory (and by the same people?) The R4 DS being VERY popular in China (but it does come with English menu's, etc.. in case you're wondering) while the M3 DS Simply is more famous around the world, due to the popularity of the M3 Adapter series for GBA.

In fact, in taking a very close look at both the R4 DS and the M3 DS Simply one can notice immediately that the menu selections and the features are exactly the same. With the exception of a different logo, and a different skin on the main menu (which can easily be changed) all options and selections are in exactly the same place. In fact, when you load up a game, the same "Loading Game" screen is present, with the progress bar, etc...

So in choosing which unit you want to buy, you can just as easily make the decision by which package you like better, what logo looks better to you, what name sounds "cooler".... because the reaity is, either one of the two will perform and function exactly the same as the other one. You'll not lose or gain any features or functions at all.

R4 DS

The very popular R4 DS is back in stock at PS2Cover.com

For our visitors who don't know, the R4DS is exactly the same as the M3 DS Simply. Same size, same features, even the same menu system and prompts are present in both units. Going beyond that is that fact that both the R4DS and the M3 DS Simply are manufactured in the same factory, by the same people. Which means that all of the internal parts and components are exactly the same.

The difference being that the R4 DS quite often has updates to their firmware / OS a few days before the M3 DS Simply. This could be because it has a bigger following perhaps in Asia, or simply that this is just how the two different "brands" have decided to go at it.

In taking a close look at both the R4 DS menu screens and the M3 DS Simply menus Screens, you can clearly see that all of the same features and options are present, and exactly the same, in both unit. With the expecption of some different graphics, and of course the R4 DS logo instead of the M3 DS Logo on the screen of your Nintendo DS console.
