    Hacking R4 hardware specification

    That's good to hear. As long as R4 doesn't have any intermediate memory in-between, chances are good larger ROM size should work with it. Thanks again!

    Hacking R4 hardware specification

    Thanks! I was thinking there maybe internal memory inside R4 itself that acts as temporary memory, and these memory could become barrier for loading ROM that is larger than 1Gb. So when a ROM file loads for the first time from micro SD, does it get loaded onto DS memory directly? Or is there...

    Hacking R4 hardware specification

    Hi all, I am wondering if there is a hardware specification of R4 that I can look at? In particular, I am interested to know the size of the internal memory of R4. Recently, I read from a Japanese magazine that Archaic Sealed Heat will be the first DS title to use 2Gb ROM. (And...

    Hacking Latest haul: One DS Lite, one R4DS

    iTunes for the gaming industry? I could understand why the music industry needs something like iTunes. Consumers like to buy the songs they like and not to be handcuffed by bundles shuffle down by music industry. So MP3 makes sense to me from an economical point of view. But for gaming...

    Hacking Latest haul: One DS Lite, one R4DS

    I agree. NDS + R4 is definitely a long seeking dream comes true for us gamers. Homebrews work great on R4 (the one I use anyways) too. The only thing I found unsatisfactory in R4 is the spring loader mechanism. I think it is much better if the micro SD is inserted from the side and the...

    Hacking New R4 Moonshell 1.6

    For people who don't like the default skin/clock that comes with R4 Moonshell 1.6. One way to do it is, setup Moonshell 1.6 by using the official Moonshell distribution. Copy the generated moonshl directory and the _DS_MSHL.nds from the R4 Moonshell package. The result is you can use your own...

    Hacking R4 DS English for only $35.25 and FREE SHIPPING!!

    I am afraid the offer won't apply, since the website is not a US/Canada website and the seller's Paypal account is non-US as well.

    Hacking 1GB MicroSDs may not be enough for future games.

    So I see two ways out of this "1 Gigabit" boundary. First way is to allow more than one NDS carts to be used for a game. I believe this has been shown not viable on current NDS hardware? (Since there has been a photoshopped picture of dual carted Dragon Quest 9 floating around earlier, and...

    Hacking Soft reset function in Moonshell 1.6 official

    Does anyone get the soft reset function working in Moonshell v1.6 official on R4? Mine gave a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) and complain about not support adapter type [R4TF].

    Hacking CV:POR Kingston Japan Freeze

    I have Kingston 1 GB made in Japan too and I experienced freezes in PoR as well. Later, I found out a lot of them were due to shaking of my NDS during gameplay (I was holding my NDS upright while I played through some stages that required a lot of actions). You can try to play PoR on a flat...

    Hacking MicroSD in Canada?

    Don't buy from Futureshop or Bestbuy... Their MicroSD are (severely) overpriced. Canadacomputers has reasonable prices but probably not the best bargain you can find. (If you are looking for Kingston 1GB MicroSD Made in Japan, Canadacomputers doesn't seem to have it.) I got my Kingston 1 GB...

    Hacking What's the best Micro SD Card for R4?

    Maybe people are concerned that the problem we see in Castlevania PoR can repeat in future ROMs? Of course, technology would get better (and hopefully cheaper) in the future. By that time, there maybe NDS II and a whole new family of flashcarts. So why not take what we have now and get the...

    Hacking What's the best Micro SD Card for R4?

    The benchmark could help verify the problems are memory timing specific. Maybe the results could help R4 team to improve their future kernel development or help people to develop patch for certain ROMs. Also, in the (unfortunate) case that this becomes a recurring problem in future ROMs, it...
