May be considering buying the R4, currently using the Supercard Rumble. Just some questions.

1. Can i use back the .sav file from my Supercard Rumble?

2. How do i install Moonshell, DS Organise, BeUp and other homebrews in R4 or SCDS or other Slot 1s? Must there be a special version of the homebrew to support the various Slot 1 cards (like so for slot 2 solution) or can i just use back the same version i used for Supercard Rumble?

3. Does R4 support Supercard Rumble as Rumble Pak? Or isit necessary to buy the Ewin rumble pak?

4. Does R4 has Super Mode, selection of card speed like SCDS?

5. Where do i get the RAM pak to get Opera running?

Thanks dude!

1. Yes, it comes with a conversion program.

2. Moonshell is build into the basic package. DS organize just needs a DLDI patch to work fine, any other homebrew that supports DLDI just need to be patched as well. If the homebrew doesn't support DLDI yet though, you're out of luck. Check their websites to see which do and which don't, and many homebrew apps are switching to the new DLDI system so compatibility will only be going up.

3. R4 doesn't support supercard rumble as a rumble pack I don't believe.

4. No rom settings. You put the rom on the card and load it up in the menu and it plays. Just that simple. There really are no options to set card speed or anything like that, it's completely not necessary.

5. As far as I know, they don't sell the ram packs seperately. You'd need a slot-2 backup device that has ram in it to use such as the supercard SD or  one of the M3 cards. Supercard Rumble doesn't have any additional ram in it sadly.

Thanks man! I cant wait to get a slot one card. Last time i tried Supercard, this time round i gonna try smthing else, since they say R4 is not bad, and the pricing is lower than supercard i guess.

I looooove my R4. Sold my supercard SD to get it and while I'm regretting it a little on the homebrew front (especially for SNES since I forgot how important a role it's ram played) I still wouldn't trade it back for my old SCSD.
