R4 2025 R4xMP SDHC Dual Core Update Adapter Memory Card for NDS DS DSI 2DS 3DS New 2DS New 3DS XL, No Timebomb

After my partner and I each using it for a couple months, I can confidently say it works as intended, especially if you just stick to the reccomended kernels. I also love the USB adapter it came with, makes transferring files between SD cards so much easier than using an SD card adapter. The only other thing I have to suggest has nothing to do with the product itself, definitely user error. But someone else recommended using Twilightmenu+ in the reviews here, but I wouldn't suggest using it, personally. I tried it, cuz Ive used it with my modded DSi and 3DS before and it worked great, and I *sort of* got it working on the flashcart for awhile? But kept running into more and more issues and its just not worth it imo. Its great for a modded DSi/3DS, but for an R4 just use the Wood kernel. As soon as I switched over, all the issues I was having while using Twilightmenu+ stopped. Maybe it was just me? But no matter what I tried, nothing made it work right, and my partner's flashcart was having the same issues. But the instant I switched kernels, everything started working flawlessly. So, maybe its just user error and youd be able to make it work, but in my experience, just using the recommended Wood kernel was way less of a headache.

Utility Beyond Storage This adapter is an incredible value for the money, but for me, it was more than just a budget find—it actually helped me complete a mission on one of my other game cartridges. I ran into a hurdle that I couldn't get past on the original hardware, and having this R4 as a utility tool was the only way I could finally bridge that gap. It’s essential gear for any collector or maker using a DS Lite or DSi. The Setup Process The setup was straightforward, even though I misread a few of the initial steps. The manufacturer provided a solid guide that got me back on track quickly. Keep in mind: the card comes blank. You have to provide your own microSD and download the "kernel" software yourself from the link they provide. Pro-Tip: Respect the 32GB Limit The only hurdle I faced was trying to use an oversized SD card. Even when I forced a larger card to format, the file names wouldn't show up in the menu. Save yourself the headache and stick to a high-quality 32GB microSD. It’s the "sweet spot" where the software behaves exactly how it should. Final Verdict Whether you’re looking to back up your collection or you need a technical workaround for a mission that just won't cooperate on your original cart, this is a must-have. It’s affordable, snappy, and does exactly what it needs to do.

Great! Fast shipping. Easy to follow set up guide on website. I already had mom's on my laptop for modding a NDS . Needed this R4 card for NDSi . So set up took me underb10 mind and my games were ready to play! Thank you. Great product. 100% recommend

This has worked flawlessly so far. You just download the files from the provided website and it's plug and play. My Nintendo DS Lite works perfect with everything. I will mention that GBARunner is NOT completely compatible with every GBA game, and that is NOT this product's fault. DS games, however, run perfectly. I installed a 32 gb Onn microSD which is more than enough space for this. Definitely worth the money!

Works as intended ✅ Easy setup ✅ Great price ✅ Time for full setup was hit or miss 〰️ Pulling cart out is kind of tight but it is secure 〰️ GBA compatibility is kind of mixed based on which DS you have. DSLite, OG DS, should be fine as they have a cartridge slots and hardware internally that can translate those GBA files. DSi, XL do not. And run GBA pretty badly, hacks included. Overall get it if you are ok with this just getting your DS library together.

Works great, fits perfectly in a DS Lite, DSi and the original 3ds since that’s all I currently have. I did have an issue and reached out they sent a replacement for a sleep issue I was having and it turned out it was a bent contact in the console which I fixed and they allowed me to keep both cards. Works with Ace3ds plus files and Twilight Menu as well.

Worked perfectly. Super easy set up. If your having trouble make sure you format your micro sd to fat32. That was my only issue, but was user error.

I don't know what constitutes a real vs fake R4, and pardon the pun, but I'm massively late to the game. As this card said plainly, it's an R4iNP, and I still don't know what that means, but it's built as a "fork" from Ace3DS+. The default menu is okay, but echoing what so many others say, TwilightMenu++ is the way to go. Dragging and dropping the TM++ files on top of the original BIOS files from the R4iNP website, it works flawlessly. Note, if you have a hard time finding a 32GB card, which is NOT INCLUDED, go grab yourself a SanDisk 64gb from whatever, and go on a Windows PC and download Rufus, it'll format the card as Large FAT32, as selecting "Non Bootable" and the format type. I never knew how much fun it could be to revisit some of these classics. For the price of a game cart back in its prime, this setup is way better and so nice to use. You can try your hand with another flash cart if you'd like, but this one is a great bang for buck option.
