    I will quote 'MaryD7' who is an awesome member here-

    "i suggest you buy a Acekard, Edge, DSTT, Supercard DSone, EzFlash, etc etc.. I would avoid N5DS and R4DS. if you go here www.gbatemp.net and read full reviews on all available cards. then just pick one with a 'Golden Award'. "

    I have experience with Edge and DSTT and they are both superb, and relatively hassle free.

    R4s you cna get away with, there's a lot of problems you can run into though, they are a solid choice if you can get them to work.

    lol :D
    people keep asking same ol' question 'which is best card to get?'
    Its like asking which is best TV or car or mobile phone to buy?
    all depends what you like, so its best to do your own research and pick the one you like the most.
    -i personnaly likes the Supercard DSone ;)

    Don't know if you have already bought your card or not, but I have the M3 DS Real. It is awesome, and works great. I have not had any problems with it. It can work with any sdhc card, of any size, so you can have tons of space. It was really easy to get all the files to make it work, and I haven't had any problems. I would definitely suggest this card, or atleast look into it.

    I use R4. It works good. As I know, many guys choose CycloDS nowadays. It supports the new generation of micro sd cards and larger micro sd cards but more expensive. You could read the reviews on gbatemp. all kinds of card review there. and Depot888 sell these cards. I bought twice there. Reliable shop.

    As for how do you download the games, you can find a lot of roms on torrents available for download. How do you put them in your r4 card, I'm assuming you transfer it over into a specifically named folder or so, but I'm not sure because I use the m3 ds real. You can buy the r4 at the website gameyeeeah.com. I was able to get my m3 there without a hassle

    and for where to get R4, I have referred it in my last post. you can go to depot888.com to buy R4. 19.80 EUR and with code 280721 can save$2

    Hi Ismar I got in contact with depot888 about payments and they replied very quickly, The only thing is I am in euro's.
    I think this company is in Canada. So do they take Euro & how long for delivery. Are they a reliable Company.,

    Also how do I quote that number you gave me to get 2Dollors off.
    I have never done this before so I dont really know what im doing any help or explaining would help
    thank you

    Make sure that you google whatever you pick before you get it though. I got a R4-III Upgrade this week and now I'm reading that it is fake on some sites when I google. I'm still reading up on it some more though so I can't say if its true or not.

    at the minute im using depot 888 bcos someone on here said they were a reliable source but i still have my doubts,
    How do you google search the product i was just goin 4 the r4 card as i used it before and it seemed fine.
    I was told by depot 888 to npay through western union as i ont have a credit card.
    Do you know how they deliver to Ireland & if they are a safe company to use.

    You can get the same item from a UK site for the same price,plus cheaper shipping.
    Just Google for what you want.

    If you want something with GBA and Rumble Pack support (is rumble pack really worth it?), what is the absolutely best out there to buy?

    I've been looking at the M3 DS Real Perfect Bundle

    * 1 x M3 DS Real (Black)
    * 1 x M3 DS Real Rumble Pack (Black)
    * 1 x M3 DS Real GBA Expansion Pack (Black)
    * 1 x USB TF/microSD Reader
    * 1 x M3 DS Real Card Case

    $55.37 CDN + $7.31 CDN shipping

    I'm buying from here: http://www.kickgaming.com/real-perfect-bundle-p-277.html

    I can buy a 2 GB Kingston SD for only $9.99 at this computer place near my place so the SD card won't be a problem.
