R4 DS Revolution Warning

Along with the rise of the R4 DS Revolution, there has been a rise in R4 DS clones. Unfortunately some of these clones also call themselves R4 DS Revolution. Worse yet, the clones are not built to the same quality and have been known to cause some Nintendo DSs to break permanently.

The clones are often sold cheaper than the genuine models (although not always), however it isn't worth risking your DS to save a few pound.

How to Tell if Your R4 DS Revolution is Fake

Unfortunately there is no simple way. The fakes come in many variations. In some areas a fake will be exactly the same as a genuine R4 DS Revolution, in others there might be slight differences. Possible differences can be found in the packaging, label or cartridge.

The best advice is simply to order from a reliable seller in the first place. Alternatively you can buy an M3 DS Real. The M3 DS Real does not have lots of imitations and includes all the same features so you can safely buy an M3 DS Real.

R4 DS Revolution for Nintendo DS

I recommend buying your DS R4 Revolution from Amazon.co.uk as there seems to be a lot of fakes on the Internet. The fakes often work if you install the right firmware but they do tend to cause a lot more hassle than the real R4 DS Revolution.
