R4 DS Slot 1 Solution for Nintendo DS: A Review and Comparison with M3 DS Simply
In the crowded market of Slot 1 homebrew devices for the Nintendo DS and DS Lite, it can be challenging to decide which one to purchase. Among the most popular choices, highlighted by frequent "out of stock" notices, is the M3 DS Simply. This preference likely arises from the original M3 Adapter's success as a movie player for the Gameboy Advance.
Discovering the R4 DS
While researching, I came across the R4 DS. Interestingly, both the M3 DS and R4 DS are produced by the same manufacturer, or at least in the same factory. This means that whether you opt for the R4 DS or the M3 DS Simply, you're essentially getting the same product, with the only differences being packaging and branding.
R4 DS vs. M3 DS Simply: Identical Features
The R4 DS and M3 DS Simply offer the same functionality, features, and firmware updates. When you purchase either, you receive everything needed to load games and applications directly from the box.
Contents of the R4 DS Package
The R4 DS comes neatly packaged with:
- An R4 DS slot 1 cartridge
- A USB microSD reader/writer (which doubles as a USB drive)
- A keychain carrying case
- A software CD
Easy Setup
Setting up the R4 DS is straightforward:
1. Use the included manual (found on the CD) for setup guidance.
2. Insert a microSD card (purchased separately) into the reader and connect it to your computer.
3. The microSD card will appear as a portable drive. Copy the system files from the CD or, preferably, download the latest firmware from the R4 DS website.
4. Load your chosen games and applications via drag-and-drop onto the microSD card.
After transferring your files, insert the microSD card into the R4 DS cartridge, which fits perfectly into your Nintendo DS or DS Lite without any protrusion. The card slot is spring-loaded for easy insertion.
Usability
Upon powering on your DS or DS Lite, the system files load promptly, presenting you with three menu options:
1. Game Menu: Access all game files and applications on your microSD card. Game saves are stored on the microSD, allowing easy transfer back to your PC.
2. Multimedia Menu: Open the multimedia player to view photos, listen to MP3s, watch converted movies, and read eBooks, effectively turning your DS into a multimedia hub.
3. Boot Slot 2: This option lets you boot the GBA Slot for additional storage or homebrew applications, using the R4 DS as a PASSME/PASSCARD solution.
Conclusion
Both the R4 DS Slot 1 Solution and M3 DS Simply are excellent accessories for the Nintendo DS and DS Lite. Your choice should depend on availability, as they are identical in functionality, differing only in packaging and logo branding upon startup.
