						I just got a DS for Xmas and I plan to get myself a linker. I already reduced the possible options to these 3. Now I need your advice...
 
 
...and don't "forget" to explain your choice...

						I have chosen to avoid R4 because:
 
- Low homebrew compatibility
 
- Lacking download play support
 
And the website from where I plan to DL backups is just showing on the frontpage a message that says "stay away from R4, it's too old now" (more or less)...
 
 
Anyways, thanks for sharing experience (so quickly)...

						I chose M3 Real DS because of the realt-time saving and other stuff, No problems with compatibility or anything.

						Wow.   Talk about limited options, bud :-\  Are those the only ones you can get ahold of..?
 
 
I'm with VR and Lutzi-fan on this.   Avoid R4 like the plague, not only for the reasons given - but also because the device is now obsolete and is no longer supported/upgraded.  The developers (incidentally, the same devs behind the GLORIOUS M3-Real) released one final firmware upgrade back in April -- and an SDHC hardware upgrade to support the larger, faster, 4GB++ cards a while back.
 
 
Go for either the CycloDS or the M3-Real.   Both have on-the-fly DLDI patching for troublesome games, both have 99.9999999% compatibility with EVERY NDS title, both have supreme homebrew support and both support real-time savestates and download/WiFi play.
 
 
I, personally, prefer the M3-Real because the bundle I got came with the GBA Addon cart, for loading of .GBA ROMS.
