Try reading myds.com.au/

In the guide it saids

The best Slot 1 carts are the R4DS and M3 Simply, which are exactly the same thing, and made by the same people, but with different labels.




So...I'd say it doesnt matter

I asked a similar question a while ago, I ended up getting a R4DS because it's easy to use, just click and drop no PC software required, great for MP3s. The both pretty much do the same thing, this is a Desi question

EDIT: www.myds.com.au/ and yes it does support WiFi and Rumble Pak.

$38 sounds to good, be careful though there are some fake ones about, an original R4DS accepts SD cards, a fake one will have it's own built in memory, I got mine from here: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gamerswonder.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1">www.gamerswonder.com/</a>
think he does package deals with SD cards too, plus there's FAQ section there.

EDIT: here's an article about the fake R4DS

R4DS is the best Slot 1 Flash Cart.

I did say that they were exactly the same thing, and they are. The difference is in firmware updates. R4 Adapters regularly releases firmware updates to address issues that arise. M3 has made R4DS firmware incompatible with the M3 Simply, even though the hardware is almost exactly alike.

This means that after R4 Adapters has released a firmware update, you have to wait something like a month or more for M3 to convert the update into something an M3 Simply can use.

Yes, it will work. In fact, that brand is a great one for Flash Cart use (Kingston and AData are win).

Transflash (or T-Flash) is just the name MicroSD cards used to go by when Sandisk first made them.

you may have misunderstood, the G6 won't hold 300 games, it is only 1 gygabyte, when they say 8gb it is actually gigabit which is different. read the rest of the page to find that out.

Dont worry Slimed was talking about the G6, you have an SD card which is 1gigabyte, but the G6 is refered in gigabit not gigabyte
