ROM Hack Free R4 flash upgrade to R4i with SDHC support-hackers needed

thegreatace · May 12, 2009

Though I have a acecard2i now i really don't need a new flash card, but it would be great if I could upgrade the r4 i have also.. but oh well if it doesn't work. I'll keep this in mind for checking up on....

someone on GBAdev zero'd out $6AC-$6AD on the update.nds rom

I now successfully flashed an original R4 card with the update,

The problem is i cannot test on a Dsi because ive got no DSi available.

Can't say I'm surprised with the results, after it "updated", I booted it up on the DSi to see what happens, nothing... Then I decided to stick in back in the DS Lite with a MicroSDHC just to see... guess what, it didn't work? *gasp*

Clap, Clap, Clap. everyone give this brave guy what he's earned, some thank yous and what not.
not many people will risk a perfectly good cart to test a messed up fake and stupid idea.

P.S: Thank you, It may of made my old mars cart usable if it worked.

Hehe, well call me stupid cuz I stashed up on R4's when I thought it was the cart to end em all... XD

I bet if you orders a bulk of bios chips that work and got some solder you could get them usable, by hacking the new DSonei flash cart updater.
My bet is if anyone has an old cart but it has a rewritable bios chip, then someone could rig the updater to update any card, I put a big ? to the idea, but I think in theory it could be done.

Something like this for the supercard would be extremely useful also.

lol it was never going to work, just a scam to brick loads of only R4s so people will buy new ones.

I think it don't work because it does not erase the full R4 card and write a complete new bios on it.
It just flashes a sector with new code!

Here is the link to the original file:
http://www.r4ultra.com/download/Flash_update_For_EUR.zip

Here is the link to the file without protection:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~freeaxs/nds/ultrai_update.zip

Run "ultrai_update.nds" on English System to reflash the chip of R4i or R4, and don't power off when flashing.
This is an .NDS file that upgrades the internal working of the 0fc2 flashchip.

The file with no protection writes to an R4 card, so that means that R4 bios is upgradable! (like EZ V is also upgradeable)

I will try to dump the full memory of an R4i ultra card into an .NDS file.
Maybe someone can integrate the R4i bios into a flasher program, so we fully overwite the whole card!

It's just an idea.

SDHC = Secure Digital High Capacity. Memory cards with lots of storage space.
