how come these are so cheap compared to the m3, R4, and the original G6-Lite? I got the g6 lite w/ 512 mb about a year and a half ago for like $60 i think. have these things gotten that much cheaper already?

Thanks! op - I like the interface of the R4 but the TTDS holds a larger microSD - think that the R4 will hold a 2gb while the TTDS holds 8gb (I think) that means you can load up a few movies to keep the little ones busy; I even load up audiobooks, music & pictures for them.

for people wondering how to set it up; youtube has a kid thtdid a very nice job... last christmas I was busy trying to figure it all out as I am older than 15 I needed the vid.

Why? Because it's the ultimate case of irony. A smart hacker figures out a way to beat the game companies and makes a really cool device, spending lots of time and money to do so. Then, someone else comes along and copies it for free.

Haha ultimate irony is 100% dead on.

How can I infini-green that post!

The only one's I've tried so far are the AK2 (AceKard 2) and this here TopToy. The AK2 did movies and music, and this one may, too, but I only tried those on the AK2 so far. My DSTT does great with a 4GB MicroSDHC and it's supposed to hold up to 8GB, which would be uber data.

If the others go on sale as cheap I'll try them, but my needs are quite simple so I see no need to pay more than $6-12 for such an item (excluding SD card cost).

I believe I remember seeing something about the DSTT being able to handle up to 4GB uSDHC. I currently use AceKard 2 (which is opensource), and development for it moves along pretty well. It is one of the few cards right now that works with Star Wars: Clone Wars. You pay a little more for it (about $5 more) but the extra capacity, and to me, better compatibility makes it worth it.

From the mfg. page....here...

100% SDHC TF and standard TF compatibility up to
4TB(4096GB) flash memory card.

Looks like 4 Terabyte limit (theoretical of course! )

Bought one and thanks OP! Do I need a TF card for this to work? and what is a TF card anyway?
I already have some microSD cards, just not sure if that's enough since the DX site keeps mentioning TF card and I have no idea about that

Transflash sort of equal MicroSD.

For those that doubt the development cycle of AceKard, they just announced today the first retail slot 1 card capable of running backups on the newly released DSi. I believe this requires a brand new card even though it will work on older DS and DS Lite.

Before those who may say "well Team Cyclops said the same thing". Not true. While they may have something in lab working, they don't have a final product. Also, AceKard had something working in lab before Team Cyclops.

Not bad.Thank you

Just a heads up from my experience this model does tend to be more finicky on cheaper microsd cards.

The R4-III is compatible with the SDHC. People have reported success with the 4GB and 8GB.
