subject: Taking The R4ds To Greater Heights [print this page] The R4DS, which literally means Revolution For DS, is a modern technology that belongs to the DS family and whose application is primarily for the Nintendo DS gaming console, a gaming device that has gained worldwide popularity. The slot 1 devices and the slot 2 devices are the two types which can be adaptable to the DS technology. The latest technology brought by the R4DS has gained much popularity and has appealed to many people with its capability to engage in games with the DS configuration.
First of all, the r4ds is a slot 1 device that gives you the chance to play different video games, play with a wide selection of mp3 music, read and browse over ebooks, watch your favorite movies, and a lot more, all on your Nintendo DS console. It converts your Nintendo DS system into a full dress entertainment package for a miniscule price.
There are a few pointers on how to maximize the use of your R4DS in order to facilitate easier handling with your games. In order to have your games more organized, store your game files in a directory of your micro SD card. Create a folder entitled games and make sure only games are stored there. Aside from easier handling, browsing for your game files would be much easier.
Create separate folders also each for your mp3 music files and your video files. You can also create sub files for each music album that you may have to get better organized with your music collection. With separate subfolders for each album, you can then name your tunes, designating them as Track 1, Track 2, etcetera.
Regularly save your back up games on your computer's hard drive. This is to make sure that you can go back to an earlier point in your game on your R4DS, and not necessarily to prevent corruption of your game. Keeping a saved game is a good habit in that it gets your saved files back when you want to retrieve files after you have unintentionally erased a certain portion in your game. Ideally, the saving of files should be done at least once a week, and even more frequently if you are a continuous game player.
Avoid taking out the R4DS from your Nintendo DS console whenever you want to put in files to the micro SD card. All it takes is a small push of the card with your finger and the same will pop out of the R4DS card slot. The micro SD card reader or writer can then be included to be able to change your game selection, or introduce files of music or video.
Finally, make sure that the micro SD card is firmly in place in the slot of the R4DS. Avoid letting the micro SD card loose from its place. There is nothing worse than losing your card and all the important files that are stored in it.
