The R4 adaptor is a recipe for fun
This little accessory opens up a whole new type of software for the DS console. After being in the position of having to order from the set menu every night, this package opens up the world of the a la carte software menu. The adaptor is basically the same size as a game cartridge and operates in a similar way. The difference is that it has a micro SD memory card slotted into the top of it. This is where new applications that you find on the internet, can be stored, and then loaded on the console by inserting the R4 adaptor, with its memory card in place, into the games cartridge slot. You transfer files from your computer to the micro SD card by removing it from the adaptor and placing it in the USB card reader supplied in the package. This you plug into a spare port on your PC and then you can just drag and drop files onto the memory card in the same manner you do with a flash drive or similar.

After you have finished you remove the card from the USB reader and replace it in the top of the R4 adaptor. After that you just slot the whole thing into place as mentioned above. If you are buying one over the internet then a good supplier will make sure all the operating files for the adaptor are already installed and checked, before sending it out to you. The fact that you can download browser applications to load from the adaptor means that you can check online for good places to eat when you are away from home. While it is still great fun to discover hidden gems on your own, when you are miles away from your own home, with your console and R4 adaptor, and you want to have a decent meal, it is good to be able to do a bit of research on the local restaurant scene before heading out to eat. The reviews online range in quality, but if you have a look you can find some decent sites with balanced articles from people who have eaten in the establishments themselves.
High quality adaptor set
Apart from the fact that if the reviewer enjoyed his meal then the restaurant is probably worth a visit, you can also get an idea of the prices from what the writer ordered, and some feel for the ambience of the place. The R4 also allows you to use instant messenger software so you can consult any friends on your decision as to where to meet up for dinner. All this can help you to avoid somewhere that is really not your type of place and see what the local town has to offer in general. I am sure you do not need me to tell you that there are some great eateries to be found in some surprisingly out of the way places, around the United Kingdom. The handy R4 adaptor can help you find them.
