is that how it works?
2nd bit,is it legal? I presume it is, as you talked about how it's different from the PSP which needs chipping. But downloading games - are there royalties to be paid? Or am I worrying too much?
Cheers for your patience!

Order your R4 card .. .. .. it is exactly the same size as a standard DS game card. You also need to buy separately a micro SD card. My R4 came with a micro SD USB card reader, but you could also put the micro SD card into an adapter (usually an SD card adapter) and then into a card reader.
You use a PC / mac to transfer files (drag and drop) to the micro SD card then once you have the files you want on there you place the micro SD card into the R4 and then put that in your DS.
Is it legal? Yes it is. All of the homebrew software is available for free distribution by the authors so there are no issues with copyright or royalties.
The problem is when people distribute illegal copies of published games (roms) which can also be transferred to these cards... ... ... ... but the homebrew is all above board.

World of sand is a simple concept but hours of fun!!
