    Hacking Got a cloned clone R4 card - fake R4i3D - trying to identify

    What you say makes sense. However, in my experience with hacking and firmware flashing, the following arguments keep my mind going, instead of giving up: -> new R4i3D cards have a different sticker (not the case with my second card) -> this card has a different PCB -> this card has a slightly...

    Hacking Got a cloned clone R4 card - fake R4i3D - trying to identify

    The major problem is that I don't know the name of the boot file! That's why I am looking for all possible, known file names. Thanks, vma

    Hacking Got a cloned clone R4 card - fake R4i3D - trying to identify

    No luck. Tried: _DS_MENU.DAT _R4__III.DAT akmenu4.nds ez5sys.bin F_CORE.DAT IEDGE.DAT iLL.iL R4.DAT R4i.3DS R4i.DL R4i.TP TTMenu.dat None worked. Anyone able to suggest further kernels? Thanks. Cheers, vma

    Hacking Got a cloned clone R4 card - fake R4i3D - trying to identify

    I just made this test: My good card is an R4i3D. The corresponding kernel has a file called R4i.3DS on the root, which is what the firmware of the card loads. I now formated the SD card and copied the kernel of an R4iDSXL, which does have an R4i.DL file on the root. I renamed the R4i.DL to...

    Hacking Got a cloned clone R4 card - fake R4i3D - trying to identify

    I tried all listed and many more. None worked. I figure the card I have is some new cloned clone of a clone, which was put by some dumb head in an R4i3D case. It certainly is just another R4/R4i clone, but it does not respond to the common *.DAT file names. I copied them all on the SD...

    Hacking Got a cloned clone R4 card - fake R4i3D - trying to identify

    I know that. My idea is that at least I w ould not have to go through ALL cards using Star Wars, as well. Looking at so many kernels right now, I figure that different cards/firmware look for only a few different file names, like: TTMENU.DAT R4i.3DS R4.dat IEDGE.DAT F_CORE.DAT _DS_MENU.DAT ...

    Hacking Got a cloned clone R4 card - fake R4i3D - trying to identify

    That was my first thought, but after trying all kernels available on www.r4i3d.com, both for the old and new card version they specify, the conclusion is that my card is definitely not one of them. Of course it could be broken, but I don't think so: it will identify as Alex Rider and show NO...

    Hacking Got a cloned clone R4 card - fake R4i3D - trying to identify

    Yep. This time, however, I have the problem that I don't know what fake it is... I tried a lot of different kernels, but no luck so far. What kernels are for firmware/cards that use the Alex Rider hack? Cheers, vma

    Hacking Got a cloned clone R4 card - fake R4i3D - trying to identify

    I like to hack! If I don't find any other solution I WILL DUMP THE FLASH to know what it is. I already have a working card, so this is rather a challenge to me. And btw. all cards are the same: they just have different firmware files. I would bet that I could externally flash my new PCB with...

    Hacking Got a cloned clone R4 card - fake R4i3D - trying to identify

    Hi, About a year ago I bought a R4i3D at www.buyincoins.com. I know it is a cheap cloned clone of an R4, but it was very cheap and basically worked: I just downloaded the kernel at www.r4i3d.com and never had any trouble. Last week I had to order stuff at www.buyincoins.com and used the...
