Which is better for wood R4 Or R4i-Gold

[urbon]

The DSTwo is less than the price of a single game.

As for R4i versus AK2i, go with the AK2i, it's got a few extra features like wifi updating of cheats and bug fixes.

It seems that AK2i is much more expensive than R4i gold.

Really? $2 or how much more?

According to the prices listed by shomtemp:
AK2i :$15.99
R4i-gold:$12

Almost $4

 

[RoMee]

Go with the DSTWO first, it's the best cart right now
but if it's too expensive, than go with the R4i gold
cost less than acekard
and you don't have to ghetto rigged it to work(paper trick)
and they are over hauling the gui..looks pretty good

Or you can just buy the R4IDSN..it's only $9 with free shipping and full support from YWG

Considering you get access to the entire library of DS games, $4 is a drop in the bucket for longer-lasting support (AKAIO's AAP making games work without needing to wait for Wood to update).

 

[sinan]

Thanks for the replies.
I have a DS lite so I really have no real need for an AK2i as opposed to a AK2, but I guess it doesn't hurt to have DSi compatibility.

So you guys are saying that the AK2i is a better choice than the R4iGold. My areas of concern are compatibility and updates. AK2 gets frequently updated??

 

[Rydian]

Yes.

Yes, and compatibility is no problem at all either.

 

[yellowbeen]

Yes.

Rydian, you should tell the truth.

sinan, just ask which gets updated more frequently.

R4i gold get the support of wood r4 which is updated almost 3 times a month.
It's official kernel is also updated frequently.

Howerver, the official kernel of ak2i has been stopped for a long time.
When coming to akaio, the latest version is released 2 months ago.

sinan,you just have a DS lite.Maybe R4 DS is the best choice for you which is only $6 at shoptemp.
R4 DS is also suppoted by WOOD R4.

If you have a DSi, r4i gold is better which can support SDHC.

LOL

looks like a new account made by a r4i gold fanboy

 

[Rydian]

The AAP option that came in 1.8.1 has been able to play all the new games that came out as soon as they came out, while Wood R4 users had to wait for firmware updates.

There hasn't been one because it hasn't been needed.

 

[Evo.lve]

Yes.

Lolwut?

The last version of AKAIO, 1.8.1, was released like 2 weeks ago, the official Acekard team 1.4.1 bootstrapper was released like a week after 1.4.1 was released...

And why should you get an Acekard? Well, without it, there would be no Wood, which you so seem to worship

@RoMee what GUI is that? Acekard or R4i Gold?

 

[ShinyLatios]

I think it's the SCDSTWO video plugin.


ontopic: I think the most wise choice is now the R4iGold, since it has SDHC compatibility and DSi compatibility.
otherwise go for either an AK2i or the SCDSTWO.

I made it so that if you decide to buy one by my most insightful post, you can just click the flashcart name

The beautiful gui metioned by RoMee is the video plugin for r4i gold which has been mentioned by RoMee in his r4i gold review.

 

[Etalon]

R4i Gold Shoptemp is out of stock anyway.

 

[zeromac]

Deffinaltly get the original R4, it's only $6

It seems that there is something happned with shoptemp.
All flashcarts are out of stock.
Oh my god.
It's a bit bad.

 

[sitton76]

read the news some time, on the sites front page it said that they won't be selling any more flashcarts for awhile.
im happy i ordered mine a few weeks ago

 

[sinan]

Thanks for all the responses. I already have an original R4. I am getting rid of it to get a card that supports SDHC.
Since ShopTemp is out of commission I guess it's time to find another place to buy one. LighTake don't mention that their R4iGold supports wood so it's probably not a good idea to pick it up from there, right?

 

[guinness]

Damn, I was just about to order an R4i Gold off shoptemp for my daughter for christmas. Any suggestions where I can get one for UK cheap, preferably with free shipping. Obviously I need one that is Wood compatible.

The R4i Gold team pointed me to this link
r4idsn
this is the cart that YWG update with his wood firmware, it's about $8 free shipping
coupon code game10off..I think that's %10 off

 

[guinness]

Thanks RoMee. Ordered for a mere £5.44. No just got to cross my fingers that it arrives by Christmas.
