Apparently, R4 cards for the DS are now illegal in the UK - i.e. illegal to sell/buy.

My sis emailed a company that sells them to ask when they are getting stock in and they said they will no longer sell them due them being outlawed.

I just looked into this a bit further for Hammer.

You can buy a blank card still, they must not be able to ban somebody selling a piece of hardware that could be used for a million and one things.

The firmware you have to load onto it makes it illegal so they are illegal as a whole.

Yeah but how many of those games will you actually want?

And you couldnt have them all in use at one time either due to card size limitations
