[Another World]

the team has worked hard to get someone to support their flash kit. there were talks with some of the top kernel developers but they all turned it down for one reason or another. the guys at amazekard really want the card to be successful and they know that these days its less about features and more about compatibility and frequent updates.

in our eyes this is how the award system works:
no award = card failed in many ways and can't be recommended
bronze = card works well enough, has some features (dldi, slot-2 support, sdhc, etc), and is recommended without being pushed
silver = compatibility is very high, has features and they work correctly, but had 2-3 points that really need to be addressed, as a result the card is recommended with some caution
gold = card has near perfect compatibility, card does what it says it will, card has excellent support, etc, as a result we recommend it

i also created the silver + award which was just a half way between silver and gold.

an award is given depending on how well the card performs during testing. the amazekard did something's correctly but suffered from the cons guild mentioned. it also relies heavily on hacked firmware based on old sources, so it won't always play the newest dumps or perhaps support the latest homebrew. i think guild nailed the award for it and after reading the review we can all see that there is room for improvement.

I'm sure the  r4i-sdhc is better than this but this card got a bronze award and the r4i didn't?

minox is an experienced tester and he found the r4isdhc to be full of problems. guild did not test the r4isdhc, nor did he have anything to do with that review.

really, your comment is a bit off-topic for this review. we are not debating scores in this thread nor are we comparing cards.
