Sorry about making a pointless, inane thread, but I just got my R4 today.
I seriously cannot believe this thing is real. It's freaking wicked!
Anyway, if Natty (from Mywii.com.au) is anywhere around this site, I just want to say thank you very much for the help and for telling me about it as well.

Yeah thats how I felt never used a flash cart of mod chip ever before and was amazed by the stuff it could do, it is now my portable DVD player, MP3 player, e-book/comic reader and game player! I don't need to use anything else except every now and again a mobile!

The R4 is very handy and really easy to use, with good after sales support with updates and FAQs. I like bringing my DS some where I know I'm going to be bored and having my R4 loaded with hours of entertanment. They are cheap too.

Hehe. So I'm guessing I should be upgrading from my Supercard lite rumble to an R4?

Does anybody here have a Supercard lite?

Has anybody here with an R4 managed to run gba games off it?

You do know the DS can be used as a phone? and i just got 2 R4's today! lazy mailman tho i had to go pick em up at the post office, but anywho, it is great i must say, i also use M3DS Reals... but i do have a question on the R4 tho... I have looked up every youtube tutorial on skin changing, read the manual, seen many quotes of the manual... but i can not get it to change skins for anything... i can drop a new skin in system, and yep, it changes... but i cant figure how to add more skins and get it to cycle thru them with the select button as i have seen done and it says it can do... i made a themes folder, poked em all in it, and all i get is default skin... if i go into the folder, cant load them... put one in system, works for that one, but cant access the ones in 'themes' folder and get em to work... so if anyone can shed some light, i would much appreciate it...

thanx much

You'll need a slot 2 device to do that unfortunately

The themes only work at a max of 12, with each folder named Theme01, Theme02 and so on up to Theme12, you can put more folders in there but it wont read the skins from them, just the ones in folders theme1-12

did that, but didnt put all 12 folders in, only 2... theme01 and theme02... tried this originally with a third theme in theme03, and nothing in the _system_ folder oyher than the themes folder... all i got was default skin... i could open folders on the card, but wouldnt load a different skin... so dropped one out of a folder into the _system_ folder straight, it boots as the skin fine, still can access folders, but nothing will change the skin... i know it can be done (somehow), but neither R4 will change a skin, so i am out of ideas

to change themes you press select in the main menu area. Unless you knew that already and it still isn't working, well then i'm all out

yep, knew about the select button to change them, just doesnt work... maybe it's a version thing, i see everyone talk about firmware 1.07 and it working, i am using 1.13, but cant see why they would change in an upgraded firmware version... i dunno, i just dunno, but in the grand scheme of things, it works, and i can change skins by dropping a new one over the old, so meh, no big thing i spose, but if i ever find/figure it out, i wont be sad heh... thanx for trying tho
