R4, R4i & R4 3DS – Where is it Safe to Buy?
Buying a quality R4 DS card has become notoriously difficult with so many imitations on the market along with units being made at varying qualities depending on which factory produced them. With no high street retail companies selling R4 cards, it’s a matter of luck for most whether or not they get a working unit or one that refuses to start up.
We understand that it is not an easy process buying the right R4 card or finding a reputable retailer to buy from so we have done the leg work and research for you. People have asked us many times, where the best place is to buy genuine R4 cards from! After thoroughly researching many different suppliers we now always use the same store when buying these R4 cards. This store has really quick delivery, we have always received our items in a few days of ordering! Unlike many of the other sites out there these guys are NOT China based so you dont have to wait a ridiculously long time and you will always get your product! The site is www.m3izero.co.uk
We constantly receive requests from R4 websites to be listed on this page, but most are not worthy of a mention! As you can imagine we have tested alot of R4 cards over the years and we have purchased from many different companies. At present the only online retailer that we have had a great, consistently good, experience with is www.m3izero.co.uk.
If you check the R4 forums you will find that a lot of people end up buying R4i cards from random websites and have lots and lots of problems. It is very important that the place you buy from has at least some form of after sales support, we have found that www.m3izero.co.uk has an exceptional after sales support.
We cannot recommned this R4 store highly enough if you want a HASSLE FREE R4i purchase!

I wish I’d found this site a long time ago. I bought an R$i card from Digizo and it turned out not to have software support! After repeated promises of software being available “shortly” it’s now months later and they have just asked me to wait 1-2 months!! I went to R4ishopper.com and the casrd turn up in a few days, the software downloaded perfectly from the link they provided me, and it worked first time! I can’t speak highly enough of them. AVOID DIGIZO LIKE THE PLAGUE!
Sorry about this guy. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. But I visited that website and they did not deliver my R4I system. any suggestions?
I used R4ishopper recently and as you say it was hassle free! Got my R4 card in a few days, definitely genuine and i was up and running in no time…. I will be putting in some more orders for Chritsmas pressies shortly
Cheers – had a nightmare with delivery from r4cards.co.uk – 2 months waiting and still no cards – ordered from r4ishopper.com and cards arrived in 3 days.
Do they ship to america and will these cards work with a us 3DS
