So I'm not really sure whether were allowed to discuss these here or not as they could potentially have illegal things on them. So... does anyone have one? I've been thinking about buying one to try doing some homebrew and such with my DS but I don't know where is a good place to get one. R4 Canada seems like it would be a good place but I'm not sure if the ones they sell are the real thing or cheap knock offs, does anyone know?

I made a thing! Please try the thing, it's what the kids are calling a "vidja game" for the iOS Splashy Bucket

Get a CycloDS Evolution, they're way better.

And it's not illegal. It's about as 'illegal' as owning an action replay. (really depends on what you put on them)

I bought an M3 just to play GB/C games.

...but don't tell anyone.

Yeh I have one, they are pretty good, though the build quality seems a little flimsy.

Mine is perfectly fine.

I'd say go with whatever's cheapest. I hear R4, M3, and CycloDS are the best three to choose from.

I acutally use mine to read eBooks, play GBA, GB/C, Genesis, and original NES games on the go, as well as various homebrew apps that I find scattered on the intarwebz. I think you can even find complete OS's around. I know they have DS Linux, etc, but those suck.

Oh yeah, and you can run DS games on it, but who does that?

<_<

Don't listen to them!

Word. So what's really the difference between the two? I was thinking of picking up an R4 (they started selling it an some place near me).

The CycloDS Evo simply has more features and a lot better support.

Yeah, get a CycloDS Evo simply. I've had an R4 (it got stolen :/), and it wasn't all that great.

There's such a double standard about religion in the modern world. Catholics can gather, wear white robes, and say "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti" and be considered normal.

But if my friends and I gather, wear black robes, and say  "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", we're considered cultists.

Eh? It's just called CycloDS Evolution. Not with simply on the end (you must be thinking of the M3).

I got mine from realhotstuff.com. They even take money orders.

What's also nice is that you can use moonshell to turn it into an MP3 player. (too bad it doesn't support WMA)

Protips: If you put Save5 as your coupon code, you get a few dollars discount.

It's also a good idea to get an EZflash 3 in 1 for GBA stuff, as well as for ram expansion for the web browser and DSlinux. It even has rumble support too.

And add www.gbatemp.net to your favorites, it has a ton of homebrew files and info.

Errr, I read what you said, and it messed me up, because of me thinking of the M3 :| ("The CycloDS Evo simply has...")

Hey, what do you know! I can do all of that with my R4! Matter of fact, I DO do all of that with my R4! *shocked*

Can't answer that for you, but maybe it has better support? Maybe the navigation speed is really top notch? Who knows? Maybe it's personal preference?

I don't have a Cyclo, so I can't tell you anything about it.

100% DS download play compatibility, for starters. SDHC support too. Better quality parts, and a smoother interface. And it has team cyclops working on it.
