yes, I have had both a R4 and M3 ...... and 'computer related' would probably be the right audience

something that probably shouldn't really be discussed on a public forum

For anybody unsure of what it is - Google is your friend!

I know - I contributed!!

however it's uses can be associated with piracy - something that should be avoided on a BBS

they work extremely well

personally i prefer to have the original stuff, with box and manual, but the G/F simply does not/will not care about that, so my mate gave me the up to date current rom packs (up to around 1200 roms iirc?)

mine came with a 2gb memory card and i still cant believe how many games can fit on the thing *

at any one time yes. ( unless you use a cycloDS evo or similar which support 4-8G SHDC microsd cards)

Put 60 carts in a bag and drag them about, see how convenient it is ?

and their service is very good indeed.
I'm not up to speed on the new systems. There is a thread dedicated to them on AVForums.
