In short, the R4 DS is a flash card for the Nintendo DS that allows you to play hundreds of free home brew game and home brew application on your NDS… on your Nintendo DS Lite console or the Nintendo DSi console. For less than dollars, your Nintendo DS turns into a whole entertainment unit.00

There are some quick and easy tips to follow. Some of the things I recommend may seem like no brainers, it did actually take me a week or so of using the R4 DS Card daily to figure out how to make my life a whole lot easier.

1. Store your game and other files in a directory on your MicroSD memory card. Make a folder called games, and ONLY store your games in this folder. It makes navigating the menu much easier, and all of your save game files will also be origanized by default.

2. Try to orignize your MP3 files as well as Video files by creating a seperate directory for each one of them on the microSD memory card. This is something that is a must for anyone that has a lot of music where all of the songs are labeled TRACK 1, Track 2, etc..MP3 Music, Track 2.mp3, etc… You’ll avoid conficts with file names by putting them all in on directory, and because you can name your sub-directory the name of the CD your ripped, you’ll at least know that TRACK-1.MP3 in the music directory is the album that you’re looking for.

3. Make sure you try and make a copy of all of your game saves on your hard drive at least 1-2 times a week. Saving your games isn’t something to do because you worry about losing your game saves due to a bad microSD card. It is a guarantee agaist that, but it also means you can always go back to an earlier game save. It’s also good to get into this habit because you may erase a game (and its save game file) and not have a backup in case you want to play that game once again sometime in the future. While this one really seems like an obvious hint, you would be surprised to know that most of our technical support emails for the R4 DS deal with how to get back erased or deleted game saves that were not backed up. I recommend doing this at LEAST once a week, more if you play your games more frequently.

4. You don’t want to take out the microSD Card from the R4 DS in the NDS each time you want to add files. Just push the microSD card and it will pop of out the slot in the r4 ds card. You can then quickly put it into the included microSD Card reader / writer in order to change games and files or add music or video.

5. This is my final (and quite possibly the most obvious) tip. And it handles the Micro SD card in the R4DS card slot. When you put the Nintendo DS or DS Lite into your pocket or pick it up. Check to make sure that the microSD card is in the R4 DS card. Make sure that the microSD card is in the card slot of the R4DS and it’s not loose or ready to pop out. The chances of it popping out without you pushing down on the card are slim, but it could happen while you’re carrying it in your pocket. There would be nothing worse than losing your microSD card somewhere, because it popped out and fell on the ground. MicroSD Cards are small and tiny, and once lost, you would have a hard time finding it anywhere else except at a store, where you’d be buying a new one. I suggest always carrying your NDS in a case to make sure you do not lose your R4 DS card. A case makes it much less likely that you’re r4 ds card will get lost. You should make sure to that this is something you do before you even turn it on.

The r4 DS allows you to power up your NDS by allowing you to run homebrew game and applications as well as watch movies, read ebooks, and more. It lets you watch movies on your NDS, DS Lite and DSi as well as play MP3 Music. What the R4 DS does is take your Nintendo DS from just being a game system to becoming a full entertainment center by allowing you to watch movies read ebooks, listen to mp3′s and much more.
