I bought mine from ozmodchips and couldn't be happier. They were really helpful while I was trying to make up mind with advice and suggestions, and the postage was really quick and it was excellently packaged. No regrets, and I couldn't recommend them more!

Darminator said: 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

The problem with R4 themes for recent R4 owner is that since firmware 1.12 they remove the themes folder from all the latest firmware, assuming people already have them installed from the older version. I guess the easiest way to get around this is to install firmware 1.11 first before upgrading to any other version. This way the themes folder will already be there before the new firmware is written over.

arceus83 said: what is an r4

R4 is a ds card that allows you to put in a mircoSD in the card. On the microSD you can upload ds games, music, videos etc.

All games work as normal and are accecced from the menu.

So you can carry all you games around with you!

I just purchased my R4 with 2GB card from www.modsupplier.com

While they were a little more expensive than ozmod and the bamboo site ive heard about, they are located in QLD (and I prefer to buy from Aus rather than overseas) and they also had stock, which ozmod don't at the moment.

They replied to my emails quickly, notified me when payment had cleared, and also informed me when they had posted the product, and an estimated time for it to get to me.

So far service has been great, will update when it gets here!

I also just purchased my DS lite last night (black)

Grabbed Pokemon Diamond, as I hear people have problems with saving the rom, and I wanted something to play until my R4 got delivered.

The last version of pokemon I played was Red, and Gold, and it's good to see that I can still work my way around it

For those of you who are still looking to buy R4 from Aus supplier both Gamerswonder and Ozmod has stock at the moment.

didnt the latest R4 kernel update allow use of the high capacity cards (4gb+)?

Anyway i'm loving my R4 even more now after i softmodded my Nintendo Wi-fi Adaptor as its a rebranded Buffalo soft AP with custom software by Nintendo, it works like a normal AP now (access point) thus allowing me to use the homebrew apps, namely Be up and DSOrganize and its IRC client, had a poke around in DSorganizes online homebrew thing, pretty neat, downloaded a few things, though for some reason i download at a max of 5kbs :S at least in DSOrganize anyway, not sure about web browsing but that seems pretty darn slow as well

Hey anyone out there
anyone know any good media/movie players for R4?
i've got moonshell (dunno if its totally up to date..it doesnt play m4a ;()
i've got the iPod for ds - lmp-ng alpha 2.
i want something that can play more than just mp3..
m4a, wav, acc maybe? (or is that aac?)
anyway, any help would be awesome

(its aac)

really for videos you can only play dpg format

as far as the DS goes, its fairly limited interms of multimedia playback but as far as music goes, really you only need mp3 unless you do have a number of songs in other formats

If you want to play music from your PC to your DS, get Sylphamp, just streams the music to your DS, though only works with Winamp

go to edit, preferences then go to the advanced tab, and then go to the importing sub-tab, then change the "import using" to MP3 Encoder.
Then you will ba able to convert chosen songs to MP3-select songs then right click and click "convert selection to MP3"

Given the current R4 firmware (1.14) only normal microSD card is supported; which means the maximum size is 2GB. Anything from 4GB onwards are microSDHC, which is not supported by the R4 at the moment. SDHC card compatible was a feature announced by R4 team a couple of months back but never heard anything from them since.

At the moment cards that support microSDHC are CycloDS, M3DS Real, Acekard RPG and TopToyDS. I might have left some out.

Great. I must admit I do not have a microSDHC so I did not verify if it works or not. It is good that R4 support microSDHC now, I will definitely buy one when the price comes down.

May I ask which microSDHC card are you using and how much did it cost you?
