[daviduk200]

a friend just got one. and yeah there amazing, but surely these cant be legal can they? im no putting any information up just incase. so only respond if you know what im on about im not telling people what they are if they dont know. so dont ask.

i want one but im not a fan of illegal stuff. especially involving gaming

no the r4 card is not illegal. "itself" but when you start downloading emulations, apps. thats when it becomes illigal

The R4 is not illegal. What is illegal is using the R4 to play copyrighted games that you have not purchased. There are plenty of homebrew apps and games for the Nintendo DS that are perfectly legal.
