    as an R2 unit you should already be well versed in the functionality of the R4 unit

    you shouldn't be talking about it here. I think that's about it.

    an interesting fact on the R4 is that it's destroying the DS software market. fuck you!

    I've seen a thread on the subject actually. Was a homebrew thread, I saw alot about R4 there...

    I'm pretty sure no one in that thread is discussing where to buy one.
    especially with a lame cover story like "present for a friend"

    Very untrue, as long as you're not talking about using it to play commercial games. There is a plethora of homebrew action out there to get in on with the DS. That's right, a plethora.

    Here's the DS homebrew thread which contains answers to the questions you have and probably some you haven't even came up with yet.

    The only thing wrong with this thread is that there is already a homebrew thread. The other objections are silly.

    Seriously, if there's nothing wrong with homebrew then how can there be a problem with purchasing a device to use it?

    Why would you need a cover story to buy a homebrew unit? And yes, tons of people were talking about that. One of the most common threads of discussion were along those lines. Most popular retailers don't carry the item, so finding a good place to buy one is a challenge. All that said, link to homebrew thread is above. That should be all OP needs.
