Does anybody know if the Nintendo supercard/R4 are legal in this country and where can i get one locally.

Thanx for answers in advance.

Legal to own, not to use IIRC. Amazon used to sell them.

I buy them from www.r4i-gold.co.uk

Funny you should bring this up, only had one delivered this week. Takes about 5 to 10 days to arrive - I think they send from Guernsey

Go with the website above and you should be good mate. I've had problems with many others but that one has never let me down.

Pretty sure it's how you use them that defines the legality. They INTENDED for running 'homebrew' stuff on, which isn't outright illegal. However, quite a lot of people use them to run pirated roms, which is at best unlawful. I know of a place in Canada that sells them and ships to the UK, but have heard that customs will often confiscate them if they find them due to the very gray nature of them.
