New DS owner looking for r4 card

[HeSaveDave]

Can anyone tell me where a good legit place to buy an r4 card for my DS? Does it support an 8GB microsd card? I found some places with google but I don't know which sites are legit or which cards are the real ones. Thanks!

The R4 has long since been discontinued. What remains are poor knockoffs of other cards co-opting the name, with flaky DLDI patching. For something that reliably runs homebrew, get something more modern like the Acekard 2, the M3 DS Real, the Supercard DS ONE, or their new (and slightly more expensive) DSi-compatible counterparts. All of them support SHDC for 4GB+ MicroSD cards.

cyclods is the ONLY card you need for a DS. Anything else, waste of money

Get a CycloDS from RealHotStuff.
