I'm struggling to update my r4ids.cn R4i Gold 3DS card with the new patch.
I have a DS Lite and a 3DS that's currently version 4.2.0-9E.
I've tried everything, both files (R4iGold_3DS45_NDSi145_Patch_NDSi.nds and R4iGold_3DS45_NDSi145_Patch_NDSL.nds) using both consoles. But no luck.
Every time I press KEY_B to check my cards's status, nothing happens. I've left it for hours and still nothing happens.
When I press KEY_A to try to begin the update process, it just say's "FAIL".
Am I doing anything wrong?
The card is revision C, HW:R4i Gold 3DSb, Sys:NDSi 1.44&3DS4.4.0-10. And the icon is "Metroid Prime Hunters *DEMO VERSION*" (it came with this icon).

They need to release a patch for those of us with revision c cards that didn't come with kirby or deep labyrinth as the original game icons.

Hey guys Pong have been banned from the forum.
He says some mod banned him for something he had permission to do,
and he trusted me to post his updates until he gets back.

Pong created a blog for his updates information:
http://pongupdates.wordpress.com/

Thanks for Pong, for his effort in helping the community

I've seen many trolls, flammers and attention whores on gbatemp, that do whatever they want and stay without a single warning.
What have he done or said that could be that big to permanently ban him from the forum?

oh......... i am sorry.. i truthfully was thinking it was like a 1-3 day ban thing, i've been on a lot of forums that do that for being rude to other members or shooting other members stuff down but they themselfs don't provide proof what they say


again i am sorry!

If you're sorry, it's not for me you should be apologizing.
I don't know what happened between you and Pong,
He'll be back soon with a new profile, then you can solve this misunderstanding.

Welcome to the forum :grog:

guess its time someone started a new thread to track firmware blocking / updates / releases

i can't be buggered visiting some poorly optimised ad laden blog.

ad laden blog?

there is not a signle advert on it the the 3ds firmware links are easy to read and clear
and its easy for people to comment and talk straight to me
plus i can post info i cant on temp
& its easy to edit

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Damn Frontier is offering 5Gbps now lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I honestly can't recommend any of the big 3 this years I'd say buy a rog ally z1 if we're being honest
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah even bt support for Xbox one controllers are just as easy as pairing
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I remember having to manually put in drivers and what not
