I can't say for sure as I don't use a mac, but I believe I've read that it works just fine with Macs, as well as Linux

As long as Macs have a 2.0 USB port (which they do) there's no problem.
You just drag and drop the files from the comp onto the SD and you're ready to roll.

Some FAQs Wrote:

Does the software work with a Mac?

Although the converter software for Roms and Movies is designed for a PC, It can be run on a Mac through Virtual PC. The patching software has been tested with Mac OSX Tiger 10.4 and Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP, a Sandisk 12 in 1 media card reader that works with Windows plug and play (card readers that use drivers may not work). The software will transfer games and patch them. It is 100% compatable with the Macintosh system with this setup.

The movie converting software has been run through Virtual PC by a GBATMW member (the GBAMP version), and it has converted movies successfully, but as its in virtual PC, it is reported to take over 8 hours for a movie.

If you have a new mac that uses Intel processors (any of the new Mac Mini's, MacPro's, Macbooks (pro) or iMacs), then you can run the windows apps natively via apples Bootcamp software and an installation of Windows XP, or via Parallel's virtualisation software. In this setup, it will run as fast as it will on similar specced PC's.

They mention a lot of sort of installation stuff in there but it's essentially all drag and drop. So as long as you can find a way for your Mac to read a microSD you should be fine.

hey i got my r4 and i love it
i've been playing my ds a lot more lately, but i was wondering if there are any homebrew apps/games that don't need a slot 2 memory thing
i don't really want to go out and buy another thing

I like using DS Organize.
http://www.dragonminded.com/?loc=ndsdev/DSOrganize

And check this site for other DS homebrew.
http://www.ndshb.com/

yep DS organize is awesome.

i tried okiwi at first which seemed promising but the initial start up was a major pain and it took so long to load. DS organize is on very basic internet with little images to no images. still works great for emails and the occasional myspace check as long as they are "mobile phone" supportive [IE lite mode]

make the most of your NDS
i use this site for all the things you can do for your DS

[dont know if this consitutes as "illegal" but if it is a mod can delete/remove it and notify me to send via PM to the members that are interested thanks Big Grin

thanks i'll have to check these out later

youre welcome Smile

my favorite thing though to do with my R4 is make skins. i have my own member name and i upload the themes ive made on to http://www.NDSthemes.com the site is awesome and some of the members are very talented

search for user "TheLooseCannon"

i made ALOT of them but only a few i made public....im rather selfish with some of them since i dont want them "duplicated" or i dont want them public because they are too personal involving either my job or pictures of me/bf on them Smile [nothing peverted jeez! lmao]

I just downloaded ds organize but i dont know how to connect it to the internet. it just stays on connecting... for about 5 min.
EDIT: I got it, I just had to go to the configure thing and change my settings

whats a better micro sd card Kingston or sand disk?

I doubt you'll see a big difference either way. My A-Data works the best for me (off-brand budget card). Get whatever is cheapest IMO (for this anyway, in digicams and such, the card type can make a huge difference).

i prefer kingston over sandisk for my DS. some reason on my R4, sandisk takes a little bit longer. its not a substancial difference and a few seconds wont kill anyones busy time frame but kingston i feel for me and my computer/set up takes less time to transfer files even videos.

I'm hoping to order an R4 next week...I'm a noob...some one give me a brief explanation of what to do when it arrives xD

Order a CycloDS

it's better Big Grin

if you pick up a Ez 3-in-1 too, you can back up real NDS games!

I just want a simple one that can hold ds games and homebrew. No video/music for me.

The CycloDS is better at homebrew because you don't need to apply DLDI patches to your files before you can use them.

It's also the only one capable of running GBA games without a software loader (you still need an EZ 3-in-1)

So if I just want to play ds games then it doesn't really matter?

. . . I guess not . . . ?

You'd have to get the ROMs illegally with the R4 too.
