Great so far....
So Far so good. I loaded Twilight on it, as suggested by others. Works well so far. I will put in my calendar to review in a year from now, just to see if the "no timebomb" is true.

Loving it! Great value for what you pay
After my partner and I each using it for a couple months, I can confidently say it works as intended, especially if you just stick to the reccomended kernels. I also love the USB adapter it came with, makes transferring files between SD cards so much easier than using an SD card adapter. The only other thing I have to suggest has nothing to do with the product itself, definitely user error. But someone else recommended using Twilightmenu+ in the reviews here, but I wouldn't suggest using it, personally. I tried it, cuz Ive used it with my modded DSi and 3DS before and it worked great, and I *sort of* got it working on the flashcart for awhile? But kept running into more and more issues and its just not worth it imo. Its great for a modded DSi/3DS, but for an R4 just use the Wood kernel. As soon as I switched over, all the issues I was having while using Twilightmenu+ stopped. Maybe it was just me? But no matter what I tried, nothing made it work right, and my partner's flashcart was having the same issues. But the instant I switched kernels, everything started working flawlessly. So, maybe its just user error and youd be able to make it work, but in my experience, just using the recommended Wood kernel was way less of a headache.

It works great
It works very good and loads all my files on my DS Lite. The only thing stopping it from being 5 star is the usb adapter doesn’t plug in very good, but adapters don’t cost much and I didn’t really use it as I had a dongle.

Worth the buy, to play the classics!!!
Note, does not include the micro sd card. Besides that, easy 5 out of 5 stars, easy and simple to setup. Highly recommend if looking to relive the past.
