this topic should be locked cause this idiot is knowingly advertising the fact that ppl should buy clones...
you really gotta love people that don't know when to stop kicking a dead horse

For anyone who bought the N5 R4 ripoff... here is a way to prevent the N5 blowing your fuse in the DS...
MicroSD connector touches pcb when sd card installed
It's a google translation, but you'll get the jest. Adding to 1st post in thread for those who care

And yet another R4 knockoff... http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=107471, this one is based on the R4-III type kernel (addition of a XXXXXXXX.DAT, where the XXXXXXXX part varies between carts)
Geezus, when I saw the thread title & OP's nick, I thought sh*t! another Aussie letting us all down. Good news for us, we're not the only country with one-eyed R4 (and its clones) fanboys with a total lack of any reasonable logic and intelligence.
Did you even bother reading the 1st post? The title DOES get your attention... but this aint a fanboy topic, it's one of data collection (there is a lot of info in the 1st post) and the knoffs aint going away any time soon it appears.
Even JPH is fanning the R4 knockoff market... http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=107170, do you really want people buying these carts without having one place to get info about em?

No, I don't want people buying them and, if they do F'em! If people are still buying an R4/clone cart, they deserve to be ignored and learn to live with their own mistakes. My "gut feel" is that you are hoping to continue/build the R4 clone market to help elongate the life of your R4-III, either that or you're a reseller of such carts.ozzymud said:
Apparently you have missed that LOTS of people are still buying knockoffs, and all the "mine is better" then yours and "You will spend your money as *I* see fit or you suck" mentality aint gonna stop em.
The "life" of my III? that will be as long as my 3 year old doesn't come to me wanting to play a game i cant fix/patch to work on it. I def aint throuwing it out as I personally believe the only knockoff that MASS bricked peopls DS was the N5.
Will I buy another? nope
I am not a dealer or programmer, just a consumer/hobbyist, I will buy some of the other clones just to play with and gather more info if i dont find enough info on the net that doesnt look like dribble (OMG it r fake! it will brick ur DS!).
There are LOTS of people who own a knockoff R4 and DO fanboy it enough in this and other forums that others WILL buy em. Several vendors reccomended by GBAtemp sell these knockoffs right beside the accepted normal carts.
So flames aside, i will keep reading what there is to read about the knockoffs, and helping those who did buy one.

the people that buy any"r4" flascart now dont deserve the right to pirate so helping them is rather pointless
your people are complete morons, read the whole thread and grasp its meaning before you decide to comment.
I also own an original R4 but have switched to DSTT because the R4 original is dead.
However I am tempted to get an R4 clone because I like the original R4 GUI and that it supports SDHC.
Those are the two things that make me want to get a clone.
What I'm worried about is the supports for the clones.
Since some games the R4 can't play but the clones can, it seem there are some supports and not just your basic clone. So in the meantime, if more updates are being released for the clones, I would eventually buy one, clone or not if it have good supports.

I wouldnt /count/ on support, the N5 does somehow seem to be adding support that the R4 didnt have, but then there is the whole N5 sdslot pins bricking(blowing a fuse) on your DS... the R4-III, ND1, NPlayer use the same type of firmware as the N5 (N5 releases theirs 1st then the rest follow).
the _DS_MENU.DAT does seem to be just a hex edited R4 kernel (more then the name bits)... but there is another file in these firmwares that does continue to grow in size and on the 2 i own do fix issues.
Just do NOT expect true SDHC support, all i have tried corrupt when filled over the 4GB mark.

THe R4SDHC works with a 16GB card but its cheaper to buy 4x 4GB
From what I know the old R4 card was white but the new one is now black.It works very well and Im using v1.23 and the 16GB card works perfectly.

Does 4gb dont work in r4 III?? cause for me it wokrs fine...and im sure its 4gb i got it from royalds.net
i have the r4-iii. have had it for several months now. i absolutly love it. no problems with it and would recommend it to anyone.
the problems with these forums is all the ignorant people who bash a card that they know nothing about. i have seen this same topic with the same responces in other forums.
if you dont have the r4-iii dont tell me that it does not work or that it will brick my ds. it does work and after months of use my ds still works.
exactly how long do you clones think that it will take for it to brick my ds.
anyway latest firmware is 3.06 released on november 6th 2008, so there goes the argument that support for it will die with the death of the real r4. rumor is that the r4-iii was created by the same developers that created the real r4 when they left the company they used the name r4-iii to get the attention of people. do not know if there is any truth to this or not but have read in more than one forum.
so to anyone looking for a good flash cart that simply plays nds games without patching, runs emulators without patching, works with moonshell 1.7 then this is a choice i would recommend. it does have built in cheat support, and gba loader. it does not have built in slow motion but i dont need or want that anyway.
