Negatives (I find only one for such a new and innovative product):1. Comes as a blank unit (no software).

Improvements (I would like to see with the Save Dongle):1. For the new user, it would make life easier if the basic first time installation software was
pre-installed (auto-install on inserting into PC / plug-and-play feature) onto the Save
Dongle, with insert packaging instructions on how to load firmware and where to find
update firmware on the website.
2. Insert instructions on how to use.

R4i Save Dongle - member review (PART II):
With an original game I possess presently (Guitar Hero on Tour), I carried out the test 'save
game file' function. My review as follows:
1. Easy to follow instructions on saving game.
2. Fast file transfer rate from Card to PC.
3. Very professional upload 'game save file' online display.
4. Easy to understand online guide for uploading.
Once uploaded, I received on-screen message display, that I would be notified once theresource was verified. Received notification via PM a few hours later!
Upon receiving notification that the uploaded resource was available on site, I proceeded
to delete the original save file from the original game,This left my genuine NDS game in it'soriginal factory setting state once more. I then downloaded my uploaded on site gamesave file to my PC.
1. The file had been renamed into numerical title. (I left this name as is).
2. Fast file transfer rate from PC to Card.
I am delighted to report that the save file transferred BACK ONTO the original gamesuccessfully!
This truly is an awesome invention by pure geniuses at the R4I-SDHC team.!!!
I must apologise for the save file as it was a test to ensure that I had carried out theoperation successfully. It was a mere 26%, single player, easy mode game save. But I cannow move on from this and share game saves with other members in the future.
