Just an update: I've been messing around with my R4i Gold 3DS and it seems that the problem is definitely an issue with the card and not with the metroid icon firmware. I found this out by downgrading to a firmware prior to metroid icon and tried upgrading to the latest from that firmware with no luck. I'm now currently sitting on metroid icon firmware again.

I have a feeling that we're probably not going to see a firmware fix for this bad batch of Rev C's. If you can, I would try to ask for a replacement. Nds-card has already shipped me mine, thankfully :)

Scanned it with antivirus.
It just has Wood, moonshell and the update file.

Btw which file have u loaded?
And on what handheld have u run the card?
DSP/DSL/DSi/3DS?
Yeah, it's weird. Just having barebones wood on there wouldn't even let my card work. After installing everything else, everything worked. I was running the NDSi.nds file on a DSLite.

I dont have a Ds lite to try that method. Strange thing is the update supposedly works on some revs C and some it just fails. I guess its time for a DSTWO...

Confirmed, not working here either. And I tried it on a DSL using the NDSi.nds patch as described by Exman.
The waiting game continues...

Hell, I'd just be happy if I could see the site up again, because apparently I'm the only one that's it's still showing as suspended, despite flushing my dns and force refreshing a bajillion times.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
