never heard of that file format

ScarySquirrel · 7 Jan 2008 at 22:25

Google it. Also plenty of YouTube tutorials on how to convert videos to it

Bit of a pain but it works. R4 owns btw.

it better do, the r4 has been coming since start of Nov, when their was a global shortage, like the wii in the UK

was thinking more being able to get full films ripped to a format valid for a DS?

If this is illegal please delete mod, but unsure as i would be ripping from an original DVD which I own?

Yeah, I did that. It works. You'll have to rip the DVD to an MPG or an AVI or something (using DVD Decrypter and Auto Gordian Knot, which may soon be removed from this post), then use DPGBatch (I think that's what it's called, it might be BatchDPG) to convert it into a DPG.

Never used it. I went for the R4 as compatibility seemed better when I compared the lists. I saw more green on the list for the R4.

What makes it better out of interest?

It can get by the 4 gig card limit and also has more frequent updates, apparently.

I dont think I can really say on these forums. BUt since the ms simply and R4 are identical ( I mean literally the same hardware) the real is the upgrade to that hardware.

For a while I used an R4 firmware on my M3 simply when the official m3 firmware was dragging its heels.
