How to use the R4 DS well?

No matter you are new to the gamming world or you are veteran, you must know the Nintendo DS gaming console device, it is so popular with all over the world. The R4 DS device allows you to play homebrew games as well as ROMs’ and Mp3 music, read e-books, watch movies, etc… On your Nintendo DS console. It turns your Nintendo DS system into a whole entertainment center. In a word it is so funny and there are some quick and easy tips as following may help you to enjoy more fun on your game playing.

1. Store your game files in a directory on your micro SD Card. Make a folder called games, and only store your games in this folder and it will  browse them in the menu makes much easier, so all your game save files will also be organized.

2. Store your MP3 Music files and video files in separate  folders too, and in the case of multiple music albums on the memory card, you should make a sub-directory of each album. This is a must for anyone who has lots of music.

3. Try to backup your game saves to your PC hard drive on a regular basis. Not because they could get corrupted on the micro SD card in the R4 DS, but because you may want to go back to an earlier save point later in the game. It’s also good to get into this habit because you may erase a game (and it’s save game file) and not have a backup in case you want to play that game once again sometime in the future. While this one really seems like an obvious hint, you would be surprised to know that most of our technical support emails for the R4 DS deal with how to get back erased or deleted game saves that were not backed up. I recommend doing this at last once a week, more if you play your games more frequently.

4. Don’t take out the R4 DS from the Nintendo DS console each time you want to add files to the micro SD Card. Simply push the micro SD card with your finger and it will ‘pop out’ of the R4 DS card slot. You can then quickly put it into the included micro SD Card reader / writer in order to change games and files or add music or video.5. This is my final (and quite possibly the most obvious) tip. And it deals with the micro SD card in the card slot of the R4 DS. When you put the Nintendo DS or DS Lite into your pocket or pick it up. Do a double check on the micro SD card in the R4DS slot 1 card. Make sure that the micro SD card is in the card slot of the R4DS and it’s not loose or ready to pop out.

The chances of it popping out without you pushing down on the card are slim, but it could happen while you’re carrying it in your pocket. There would be nothing worse than losing your micro SD card somewhere, because it popped out and fell on the ground. Micro SD Cards are small and tiny, and once lost; you would have a hard time finding it anywhere else except at a store, where you’d be buying a new one.

If you carry your Nintendo DS in a case, then the chances are much smaller that the card will get dislodged from the R4 DS card slot, but it’s better to check on a regular basis anyway. Make this something you do before you even power on. The piracy in the usage of the Nintendo gaming console is increased due to easy use of the R4DS and easy availability of the games to be downloaded in the SD card. The persons who does the piracy, once gets the files of the illegal game in the computer than they transfer them in the Nintendo console. The Nintendo company was about to stop the selling of the R4DS due to the increase in the piracy of games. They had made the device for the legal use and the piracy makes the device available for the pirated and games.

Another point to be considered is the piracy of the R4DS cartridge itself. The R4DS cards are available in pirated version by many illegal distributors. There are many people who loose their computer in a short circuit. It is necessary for you to overlook some trusted web sites if you are about to buy the R4DS for the fist time or after an accident with the old pirated one. There are a lot of web sites offering the R4DS sales. You must look for the website which has a store near to you and offering legal sales of the R4DS system. You could see a lot of game parts from www.gamezway.com. So many useful things you can see there.
