Clever card makes life easier

There is a very good chance that anyone who is a Nintendo DS Lite (NDSL) fan is also the proud owner of a very clever device called the R4DS Cartridge.

The R4DS is the same size as regular game cartridges, but features a slot for a microSD card, which can be used to store files such as games.

The R4DS has helped make the NDSL a hot commodity in Hong Kong.

It allows NDSL owners to download games from the Internet and play them on their portable gamer.

Obviously, Gadget Geezer does not recommend downloading games without first buying the original game, or buying it after trying the game out with the R4DS.

Otherwise game developers are not making any money. And if they are not getting paid, they will not have the resources to develop new games.

Moral duties completed, the R4DS is a great investment.

It is an incredibly practical device as it expands the memory capacity of the standard NDSL to up to 4GB, allowing you to store multiple games on it.

Instead of carrying around multiple game cartridges, you just need a single cartridge inside your gamer.

The R4DS is available from most gaming stores and computer mallsfor about HK$380 and includes a 1GB microSD card.

PROS: allows you to store multiple games on a single cartridge, supports other software including image viewer and Web browser

CONS: Have to turn off machine to switch between games
