r4isdhc.com version?The gold pro is a dstt clone.
Both versions. All new r4isdhc.com cards are dstt clonesr4isdhc.com version?
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I might actually pick up some of these carts because they are cheap and might be good for somethingBoth versions. All new r4isdhc.com cards are dstt clones
Wait till I review this, I think you can agree the r4isdhc.com is worse than this.Thanks for clearing that up for me. I might actually pick up some of these carts because they are cheap and might be good for something
As far as I know r4isdhc.com cards (and maybe r4i-sdhc.com cards - but that never got confirmed by someone owning the card) released in 2014 and later are the only cards with timebomb. But they all have the same hardware (2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017). You can use the latest kernel from their page with a 2014 card and it works the same as the 2017 card. All cards on r4isdhc.com are the same (dual-core is the same as gold-pro etc). There is a mod avaible to use the r4i-sdhc.com kernel with r4isdhc.com cards: http://mkiddy.leerik.nl/R4i/As for the timebomb, I am at the mercy of the community. I don't buy carts with years on them because I know of the timebomb, but never tested it. Every time I do any amount of research, I get two different sides saying two different things and it's not worth spending money to find out.
I don't actually know if I can agree or not. If I haven't used something, I am at mercy of the community until I do use it.Wait till I review this, I think you can agree the r4isdhc.com is worse than this.
Interesting, thanks for the information! This is the kind of stuff I would love to test, but I am wary of spending money on something just to brick it.As far as I know r4isdhc.com cards (and maybe r4i-sdhc.com cards - but that never got confirmed by someone owning the card) released in 2014 and later are the only cards with timebomb.

This information comes from my own experience with my R4i SDHC Dual-Core 2014, discussions with a shop owner and some forums/chats.
On the other hand there are clones of the card without time bomb (r4isdhc.hk, r4isdhc.com.cn, r4isdhc.in etc). There are reports of some of the clones bricking with the official kernel and bricking with ysmenu but I don't know exactly which ones.
I believe these clones are either in name only or based off old versions.As far as I know r4isdhc.com cards (and maybe r4i-sdhc.com cards - but that never got confirmed by someone owning the card) released in 2014 and later are the only cards with timebomb.

BTW the time bomb checks the date of expiration with the console's date. It doesn't actually brick the card and you can use it again if you set the console's date to an earlier time.I don't actually know if I can agree or not.

I think that at least some of them are based off the 2013 models of r4isdhc.com. But in the end most of these cards are DSTT clones.I believe these clones are either in name only or based off old versions.
Well the "fear" of bricking is more so because I these carts would be taken apart to look at their chipset. They would then be put through several tests to see what kind of kernels I can run on them, and other testing purposes that has already bricked two of my carts.BTW the time bomb checks the date of expiration with the console's date.

(I got it as a review sample and didn't pay anything for it )
The chipset they used is used by some other cards (including r4i-sdhc.com). The only thing that ever changed during the years is the PCB color.Well the "fear" of bricking is more so because I these carts would be taken apart to look at their chipset.

For 10$, I might actually buy one of these carts and attempt to replicate their results. If I don't brick, then they had some underlining factor that caused the issue.The chipset they used is used by some other cards (including r4i-sdhc.com).

I think that someone bricked the card trying to run ysmenu as main menu on it, but running ysmenu with the .nds is fine. The same probably applies to other kernels.
I think that you need to do serveral changes to YSMenu in order to boot it on the card anyway. Normally the card will refuse to boot ysmenu.For 10$, I might actually buy one of these carts and attempt to replicate their results.

I will see where my money is when I get paid.
...fuck this thread tapped into my deep need to test and break stuff.
You know what's funny is, is that I found these links before when I was looking for ysmenu for my R4-SDHC from r4i-sdhc.com cart.I think that you need to do serveral changes to YSMenu in order to boot it on the card anyway. Normally the card will refuse to boot ysmenu.

A quick google search gave me two results:

I think that both cards are hardware-wise the same. You can use the kernel of the other by changing two bytes.

tbh, some of these clones are so cheap-looking that I doubt they'd bother actually trying to brick the cart. Just making it refuse to boot would be much easier.Well the "fear" of bricking is more so because I these carts would be taken apart to look at their chipset.

Basically something like this is just me throwing money into a hole because I have no intentions of doing anything more than attempting to completely break these carts. Of course carts that survive my abuse get put in the box of pride. Those that don't, are put in the drawer of dishonor.
Fair enough, I read a few posts saying they bricked and said, "Makes sense, these are shabby carts." and went on with my life.tbh, some of these clones are so cheap-looking that I doubt they'd bother actually trying to brick the cart. Just making it refuse to boot would be much easier.
So basically I can already prefer the same tests? Well that saved me 10$ that I still might send because why not?I think that both cards are hardware-wise the same. You can use the kernel of the other by changing two bytes. You don't really need a r4isdhc.com card if you have a r4i-sdhc.com card.

Hi. I bought a used DSi and it came along with that cheap R4 card "r4isdhc.com.cn" Dual Core and a SD card with games; the interface was that wood "gbatemp" theme. Everything was fine till I switched the theme to "BLACK" and the interface screwded up, I tried to reverse it but instead I think I deleted some files.
Where I could find the files for this cloned R4 card? The "r4isdhc.com.cn" doesn't exist anymore, and the "kernel" was uploaded to FileTrip and this doesn't exist as well.
