How Do You Copy Games From a Disc to an R4 Chip?

The R4 Revolution is a storage device for the Nintendo DS designed for storing game information. Game files can be downloaded from the Internet and transferred onto the R4 chip so that they can be played on a standard DS. Your R4 should come with an R4 card (which looks like a DS game cartridge), a USB card reader and a micro SD (TF) card. Make sure you purchase your R4 from a reputable retailer as the popularity of the R4 has spawned many poor-quality replications.
