So what is going on now? Some units works and others not from the same batch?
Surely if 1 of the newer 2018 models works then they should all do?
not necessarily, there has to be a switch at some point, and tbh I would imagine Nintendo wouldn't want to make the change super easy to determine from just looking at the case, its also possible they were produced in different factory's
As much as I would love to open it but I do not have required tool.
Sorry I cannot help on this information.
But if anything I can tell from the exterior of this unit, please let me know.
no worries, I'm sure if it is a markio unit more people will start getting them soon and someone with the tools will crack one open and take a look

try connecting a usb hub (even a cheap usb 2.0 hub) between pc usb port and usb a-c cable and switch

when i was bridging pins 9 and 10 on right joycon only this way i could execute the payload correctly. No i'm bridging pin 1 and 10 and i don't need the usb hub in between to execute the payload with all the other components being the same.

HAC-S-JXE-C3 - so this is the magic name that is the quiet Markio release then? The overlaper.
But we need someone to pop open their Switch and see if the CPU match what @gamesquest1 asks.

except everyone that is able to do any of this stuff,likely already has a switch because of the various alerts.

yeah but there will be people coming in late, we seen it with the 3DS over and over again back when specific FW requirements were important....although granted with the 3DS being a softmod simply updating your FW made a console not compatible, while here all compatible units will always be compatible

I don't think that these are mariko (T214) units because they came with FW 4.1. They are probably still T210 but with an updated bootROM.

People saying that because they don't come with the newest firmware they can't be the new model are guessing.

There could be many reasons the new units don't have fw5+.
Only opening the console and looking at the board will get us closer to a definitive answer.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?

    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
