i got an r4 before but i gave it away to someone so i decided to buy another one because it works great and all. however, i just got my r4 and been playing the games and all but i have came across a problem.

when i turn off the the ds after playing then turn it back on right afterward, the ds does not recognize that the r4 is even a game. it just says that there is no games inserted in. i haven't even taken the r4 out and it was just working a moment before. after i wait awhile and turn it back on again, it works. anybody know how to fix it.

any help would be awesome. thanks

i hav that problem as well..
i just had to keep turning on/off to get it working..lol
sometimes I take out the r4 and put it back

[marasshi]

^yeah you know what. its not that great. its exactly the same as harvest moon for boys. except NO CHEATS. now i gotta earn money the real way :[

Haha. I love earning money in Harvest Moon. It takes a long time though. :x


Does anyone who uses an R4/M3/Supercard/etc get their batteries drained easily? I charge once a day (sometimes twice) and I play maybe 6-8 hours (it seems less though, but I don't know really; I should time myself next time). My DS is on the dimmest mode, but I play with the volume at maximum. :x

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
In Activision’s upcoming Guitar Hero add-on, they will bring the history of Aerosmith to life on video game consoles. While the game will be using the same engine as Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, it will have new characters and venues. The new characters will be, naturally, all of Aerosmith. You will be able to play as Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford along with the rest of the fictional Guitar Hero regulars. The new venues will showcase various moments of Aerosmith’s legendary career, such as their performance at the 2001 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

The game is set to contain somewhere between thirty and forty songs and will have five different venues. The first two songs in each tier will be songs by bands that influenced or were influenced by Aerosmith; the rest of the tier will be all Aerosmith songs. Apparently 60% of the songs will be by Aerosmith, while the rest will be by other bands ranging from Lenny Kravitz to Run-DMC. Last but not least, the popular boss battles of Guitar Hero III will also make a return, but they will be changed a little bit to address gamer’s concerns from the previous incarnation.

The game is being developed by Vicarious Visions (the same team that made the Wii version of Guitar Hero III), and is currently set for a June 29th release.

Confirmed Songs
Tier 1 - Venue: Nipmuc Regional High School
All The Young Dudes - Mott The Hoople*
The Dream Police - Cheap Trick
Make It - Aerosmith
Uncle Salty - Aerosmith
Encore: “Draw the Line” - Aerosmith

Tier 2 - Venue: Max’s Kansas City
I Hate Myself for Loving You - Joan Jett
All Day and All of the Night - The Kinks*
Movin’ Out - Aerosmith
No Surprize - Aerosmith
Encore: Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith

Square Enix has revealed that Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon will be released as a Wii-exclusive title in North America on July 8. The game lets players explore a mysterious town whose inhabitants have lost their memories, and it's up to Chocobo and Cid to explore caves of memories created by a strange boy named Raffaello in order to help restore their memories.

Chocobo's Dungeon utilizes the Wii's motion sensing controller, and promises an intricate story complete with a versatile job system and challenging turn-based battles. The game will also offer a host of mini-games and support for online card battles. Look for the game on store shelves in mid-July for a retail price of .99.

Anybody looking forward to Final Fantasy Tactics A2? I haven't really played Tactics until my friend bought me tactics advance so we can play together but he should have find out that we couldn't link up on the DS lol.. I'm damn addicted to tactics advance right now xD

[<3 Kim]

The guitar hero sounds so cool for DS, i want it :x

Does anyone who uses an R4/M3/Supercard/etc get their batteries drained easily? I charge once a day (sometimes twice) and I play maybe 6-8 hours (it seems less though, but I don't know really; I should time myself next time). My DS is on the dimmest mode, but I play with the volume at maximum. :x

I have one, hmm my DS never seems to run out of batteries though, i play it with the volume on low though :/

[marasshi]

^Do you keep your memory card in all the time? I heard that the memory card draws power even though the DS is off... Weird.

Won't you scratch the touchscreen by strumming on it? I still want it though. : )

I just watched the trailer. There's a cool pick <3 I want it...

[SongBird]

i hav that problem as well..
i just had to keep turning on/off to get it working..lol
sometimes I take out the r4 and put it back

What memory card do you use? Brand, size?

I find that I never have any problem with the "Assembled in Japan" Kingston card. Never. But with some other brands, even TAIWAN Kingston cards will freeze on me during odd moments.

[<3goesDOKIDOKI]

guitar hero ds looks so crazy... i wonder if it will be hard playing with the left hand??
im very interested i love guitar hero! lol


i have a taiwan kingston micro sd and ive never had a problem :] i didnt know it drained battery tho

[Amethyst]

I just recently obtained a NDS and was browsing this forum for features/additional item to purchase to maximize NDS use. It seems some are having a problem with regard to R4, I was hoping to buy one. Anyway just want to ask what brand should I purchase for R4?

[vitaLUV14]

Does any one know if there are there any good websites for downloading nds games? i tried the 3 links on the first page but 1 is a forum and the other one doesnt work.
i just got my r4. so happy =]

nds.hkorz.com
^ great site
just make an account~

[la folie]

Anyway just want to ask what brand should I purchase for R4?

R4 is a brand already lol. http://www.r4ds.com/index-en.htm
I think you're asking about which cartridge you should get?

[<3 Kim]

^Do you keep your memory card in all the time? I heard that the memory card draws power even though the DS is off... Weird.

really? how can it drain power when its off? :/
I leave it in there quite often, and always seems fine to me :/ I don't leave it in there all the time though sinceI have other games :S

[x`aNNiie.]

I always leave my card in and it hasn't caused problems at all.

I don't use volume though.

[tokidokimiki]

I'm trying to buy an R4/M3 but it's so confusing D:
do I JUST need the part that goes into the slot 1 of my ds to download games off the internet and play them?
and do I have to buy different versions to download music and go on the web?

And also, what are the micro SD card things? Are they necessary?
If possible, can someone please link me to a good package/product to buy ;D
Thank youu!

[marasshi]

^You can't just have the R4 cart because there wouldn't be anything to put your games in. It's sort of an adapter thingy, but more... complex? It allows you to read microSD cards (one 1GB card comes with the package, along with a memory card reader). The microSD can hold your games, homebrew, music, videos, etc.

I would recommend the R4, since everyone seems to have it (I have an EDGE cart, which seems to be a CycloDS clone, and something I only bought because it was the most easily available to me -- the CycloDS btw supports microSDHC, which goes up to 32GB, though, so you might want to check it out, too). Check out their official sites for more info.

http://www.cyclopsds.com/ (CycloDS)

{People on the internet have been saying the CycloDS is better (no need to rename your ROMs, which is cool), but I haven't tried the R4 yet.}

[<3 Kim]

^ I have an R4 and I don't have to rename my ROMS :/


tokidokimiki: Yeah, you do need a micro SD card, its where your games and stuff are held ^^

[TrainDriver]

my DS hasn't been played since i finished professor layton. wat are u guys playing? i'm probably gonna start ninja gaiden soon.

[xthefirst]

i take it back, i think i want the cyclo ds evolution instead of the r4. :]

can i order it from someone, please? like, someone buys it w/ the 2gb kingston and i pay him/her by money order?

[Kazen88]

Some places take money order. Like realhotstuff.com. You wouldn't really need someone to buy it for you.

[xthefirst]

oh really? wow! thanks, i'll check it out now then.

i just downloaded about 700 MB worth of games. >< i didn't realize it'd take up THAT much space.

i think i'll order mine around... next week, perhaps? :]

by the way, how trustworthy is the site realhotstuff.com? have any of you ordered from there before?
also, when i put it my zip code, it says it can't recognize it (when i check the shipping costs). what could the problem be?
