Revolution For DS
Something away from FFXI for a change.
Before I went to Cuba in July I bought a Nintendo DS Lite for the plane. Originally I only bought to games. It turned out that the DS is a much cooler system than I thought with a lot of good games. The touch screen, while not imperative to most games, is a real neat feature. Dual screens is nice, but most games do not take advantage of both screens and keep to displaying some sort of map in the top while everything else goes on in the bottom. This is the biggest crime of RPGs on the DS. The second screen could be used for so much, but the developers cop out and don't bother to take advantage of it.
I've enjoyed the games I have, but I recently wanted to get a couple more. This is when a guy at work introduced me to the R4 DS card. He also recently bought a DS and he hates to buy games when he can find a way to find them for free. The R4 card has a slot for a a micro SD card, but is otherwise designed like a normal DS card. With a few files and a folder for roms on the micro SD the card is ready to go to play games.
This, of course, should only be used for backups of games already owned...
