Hacking Which flashcart for Castlevania PoR?

[Jusomeone]

hi everyone!
happy to join in here
i own a DSL + M3 Real for a couple of years now
very happy with it, all DS ROMs run great
and it's all i want
but now Castlevania : Portrait of Ruin gives me problems
the known freezing issue
and my question is :
is there any cart besides the DSTWO that the game runs good on?
thanks

All the ones there run it.

But the M3i should run it well too since it's an older game, tried a different MicroSD?

 

[Jusomeone]

i don't want to buy another microsd just for it to fail...also i read it has to be max 1gb and those are not available
anymore here
seems strange you're saying the carts in the list run it ok
because i read many people with r4 experience the same thing
i've been told DSTWO and Cyclon run it good
but they are too expensive...

 

[Rydian]

Whoops, M3 real, thought it was M3i, my bad. Also SD's limit is 2GB (technically 4Gb, but 99% of 4GB cards are SDHC instead).

Also R4s run it fine if they have updated software like Wood.

Look at the list for carts to get.

I suggest going with the R4i Gold (url: http://www.r4ids.cn/) from nds-card.com
It can play all of the Castlevania games with no problems no matter what the MicroSD speed is.

Actually I tested Castlevania PoR on a Class4 and 6 (I borrowed from my friend, so I don't own them) They still lagged on the intro and and froze randomly. The MicroSD cards were formatted properly and I had all the latest software. I know it is a software issue since EOS updated to fix it and since the update I haven't had single problem on my DSOnei

I've played PoR a lot on my DSTwo just fine.

 

[Jusomeone]

so if you have a good experience with DSONEi...why do you recommend me the R4??

 

[Jusomeone]

i know DSTWO is good...question is if DSONE is also good

I have the original R4 with the latest Wood R4 and didn't had any freezing with neither of the 3 games!

Well that was more of an example, personally I wouldn't suggest the DSOnei because I haven't had the best experience with it.
Plus the R4i Gold gets far more updates both in the firmware and Kernel department.

The DSOnei is only OK, the DSTwo and R4i gold are better.

 

[Jusomeone]

well thank you very much!
so...2 last questions...
i have a DSL and all i want is to play DS ROMs, no cheats and no extras.
which R4 should i get?
and last question...where should i get it??

 

[Rydian]

The DSonei stopped getting updates, according to the official site.

And you should get the R4 listed here that has the features you want (such as SDHC or not).

[Jusomeone]

thank you! i'd go for the 5$ R4...question is where should i buy it?
i dont see any store selling it

 

[Jusomeone]

i think ive found something...im sorry for all the questions
so the basic and normal R4 which costs 5$ is still being updated and
supports the castlevania titles?

I shall redirect you to my previous post.

With Wood R4 and a decent MicroSD card, they work perfectly. (tested and played them all fully through myself)

 

[Jusomeone]

oh yes you gave me that link...thank you!

 

[Rydian]

Well, yes the basic original R4 does, but it only supports 2GB cards max. The R4i Gold uses the same software base and compatibility, with SDHC support and such too.

 

[Jusomeone]

i ordered the R4 from nds-card.com
im now waiting for them to send me an email which details who should i pay to with paypal
im hoping this will happen quickly
too bad mastercard is never supported
thank you very very much guys!!!

 

[Jusomeone]

im so confused by all these R4 versions....whats the difference between R4i Gold and R4i EU Gold??
