Using the R4 adaptor

There have always been good skateboard games out there and I am sure you have your own favourite. The stylus controls on the DS console make for a really good experience with the leading games. They are very precise and if you are playing for the first time, you will soon be reproducing the ollies and kickflips that you do in real life, with this control system. As with real life, your kit is important when playing games, but it is all about the graphics and controls, and accessories like the R4 package. When you are out doing it for real, as well as your deck, you have also got your clothes to think about. You can find a good selection of t-shirts and beanies among other things, on the internet at the moment, as well as all the other gear you need. As for the boards themselves, these days it is easy to put together your own specification for a skateboard, with online stores letting you choose the deck and then which trucks and wheels you want on it.

Quite simply and perfect

You can specify other stuff like risers and bearings too. If you want to have more of a choice with your games console then the R4 adaptor is a way of customising your machine and giving you access to dozens of new applications and games, available for free on the internet. If you are not into setting things up yourself and just want to get on and play then you can order this adaptor over the internet, with the necessary operating files already installed and tested. The adaptor fits in the same place as regular games cartridges, has a micro SD memory card that you can remove and load new applications onto, from your computer, by using the USB card reader included in the R4 adaptor package. All you do is drag and drop the files and then replace the card in the adaptor, plug the adaptor in the console and you are ready to go. If you go to city skate parks regularly, and you have wireless coverage in the area then there are so many more things you can do with your games machine with this accessory.

You can load up an instant messenger client and chat to friends while you are out. You can use cut down versions of popular browsers to surf the net and, with an R4 adaptor, if you have your own website, you can load an FTP client to update your site with photographs while you are at the park. Another great little free utility that I have seen on the internet, is a weather program that goes online to check the latest forecast for you – that could be really useful for organising meets. There are several basic drawing programs, some simple word processing applications and a spreadsheet application available too, so something to appeal to most users. I would recommend ordering your R4 package from a supplier in your country, for compatibility considerations.
