Just recently got a second hand DSi XL with an R4 flashcard called RTS Platinum Upgrade (http://www.r4ipt.com/) and I have a few questions!

• I've installed the latest firmware from the site. Is it safe for me to do the system update to 1.4.1 now? And why would I want to update, is it only to gain access to the DSi Shop?

• I'm downloading the latest system update for the flashcard from http://www.r4ipt.com/ but it's taking hours at around 3k/s. Does anyone have a mirror link?

• I would like to run the more frequently updated Wood R4 on the thing but I have problems with which version I would use. I've tried a bunch of the .nds ones but they all freeze at the screen with the "AUTO DLDI HOMEBREW" logo.

Anyone want to help me out?

• I'm downloading the latest system update for the flashcard from http://www.r4ipt.com/ but it's taking hours at around 3k/s. Does anyone have a mirror link? It's downloading really slowly for me as well. I'll mirror it when I'm done downloading.

• I would like to run the more frequently updated Wood R4 on the thing but I have problems with which version I would use. I've tried a bunch of the .nds ones but they all freeze at the screen with the "AUTO DLDI HOMEBREW" logo. Try the one for R4i DSN. IF it doesn't work, download retrogamefan's firmware and use the 'YSMENU for R4 clones' folder.

Anyone want to help me out?

Thanks for the help

I tried both Wood R4iDSN and that YSmenu. The R4iDSN goes to the R4 boot screen and freezes and the YSmenu works but gives me a "Unsupported DLDI name" when trying to boot a game.

Hey my friend.. It is your lucky day as I have the same flashcard. After searching and testing for three days I found out that this is an M3 clone and runs only specific firmwares. What you have to do, is to download the firmware In the link below, and then the other link with the wood m3 firmware well good luck but I am sure this is gonna work..

By the way the firmware on the r4ipt site does not work for some reason and the site is f*cked up so this is the correct one :
http://filetrip.net/f23256-R4iRTS-2-8-%28English%29.html

Then download the wood M3 and the _rpg folder and then place all of the downloaded files in the root of your memory stick..

Hope this helped you

I tried that and it didn't work, but some games do work. The error screens suggested I would move the save file back and forth so I tried it and now it works. I guess I'll just have to do that with every single game :S
