I recommend you to throw this one away. Cards from r4isdhc.com are rubbish, nearly everyone knows that. Claims that is cooperated with Acekard and M3, but they are lying. Id recommend a r4i-sdhc.com card with *snip Kernel.

Actually I tried to run the *snip Kernel on my Happybox: I've just copied the content of the *snip Kernel file into my SD card and it all seemed to work, but I couldn't understand wheter it was working good or not...
Anyway, I definitely agree: cards from r4isdhc.com are rubbish, but now I can't afford to buy a new one.

*snip Kernel will not work on your cart as the *snip kernel is a fake kernel for the www.r4i-sdhc.com carts.

Why not try RetroGameFan's Multi Cart update and place the files in the R4SDHC folder onto your cart and then you'll at least be able to play the latest games and it should be easier to change skins with as well.

I'm currently running the last RetroGameFan (the 6.68 version , if i'm not wrong), but i've got run it with the original firm. A kind of dual-boot. Unfortunately,I am not able to change skins of the original firm (because I can't get to settings menu). Instead, no problem to change skins using RetroGameFan.

r4isdhc.com cards really suck...

I tried to have RGF MCU as the main boot but it doesn't work. Do you think that RGF MCU can work as a main boot on a R4i red happybox v1.4 ?

*snip

I never said *snip Kernel would work on HIS card, i said only on r4i-sdhc.com cards and n3dscard.com cards.
Also, Buy one from R4 Wood (r4wood.com) Its really cheap.
Also, *snip Kernel isn't fake. It's just an alternative, just like WOOD for r4ids.cn cards, or AKAIO for r4ids.com cards or YSMenu.

*snip

I never said you did.

*snip

Actually as Wood for r4ids.cn carts and an altered AKAIO for r4ids.com are the official kernels and as *snip is an unsupported and unofficial kernel then it is FAKE.

It isn't unsupported, if it is, YSMenu is too. AKAIO hasn't officially co-operated with r4ids.com, and although *snip hasn't co operated with r4i-sdhc.com, its co-operated with R$ WOOD!

No but YOUR site does say that it does work on his cart.

You're right YOUR sites kernel isn't fake, It's a hacked version of the Official kernel with a slightly altered version of RGF MultiCart Update so you're a thief as well as a liar.

Yes it should. Just backup everything you have on your SDHC card at the moment, format it and copy the contents of the R4SDHC folder to the root of your SDHC cart and try to load with just RGF MCU on.

Have you ever tried to run RGF MCU as the main the main boot on a red HappyBox v 1.4 ? It you did, how?

I think it's a problem of my _DS_MENU.DAT. I read it's possible to custom it but to me it's quite difficult.

If you just format the SDHC card and copy the contents of the R4SDHC folder to the now blank SDHC card then it should work.

Try changing the name of Default.nds to _DS_MSHL.NDS see if that works.

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
