Strengths and weaknesses compared to other flash carts

Then he set out some of the advantages and disadvantages which owns the cartridge R4 Revolution.

Regarding the advantages I think it is imperative to emphasize that it is easy to the user that starts in the field and also complies with almost all the features that one I expect to buy the cartridge, such as games almost every game available today, listen to music and other possibilities that we have already explained in the section.

On the other hand we can say that there is a balanced relationship between price and performance of R4 DS. The R4 strong point are:

• Easy to use (just copy and paste can be used).
• Emulates most roms.
• In some games operates the "Download DS".
• R4 has the same size as the original cartridge.
• Works "Sleep" mode.
• Great capacity (As for the micro SD memory).
• Acessible price (The cartridge costs the same as 1 or 2 games).
• Extras features (you can view videos, listen to MP3s, read files, view photos, etc.).

But the R4 disasvantages are:

• The firmware that comes with the R4 is very outdated.
• It is not compatible with GBA.
• Not emulates compressed files (either in .zip or other extensions).
• The theme of the video conversion is somewhat cumbersome, since it does not play the standard formats and must be passing the format DPG.
