does that mean the m3 simply might get the SDHC update in there updates to come?

I believe so. They technically use the same hardware afterall

Yeah, I'm almost 100% certain. The only reason why there wouldn't be an update is because the M3 Team wants to force us to buy a M3 Real for the new features.

Btw, if this is going to be a firmware instead of a loader/kernel we probably can't patch it to get it work on the M3 Simply early. Damnit

Hopefully the M3 Team will be as fast as they were with the last update(s)!

bleh, im just glad the R4 is alive and still working. I almost doubted them for a second.

i hate how they're so secretive

Icarus · Oct 8, 2007

Those crazy R4 guys. They've did it again !! Great news for R4 owners. They once again proved that they're still the best slot 1 cart =]

Fantastic rumors!
SDHC support (if true) would be amazing!

jumpman17 · Oct 8, 2007

Wow, I didn't think it was possible to allow SDHC cards with only a firmware update. Thought it was something built into the unit.

BOOYA!

*does the Mario*

Although I don't plan to get a higer capacity card (I currently have a 1GB Kingston Japan and that's far more than enough) and I have no Wii, I love to see my card getting updates!

Go go M3 Simply! (Or R4

)

I'm looking forward to the fixes on the compatibility issue with the games that require an ARM7 fix!

Remy669 · Oct 8, 2007

Now, if they could juuust add some ingame menu, real-time save, and slo-mo. It would really be the best cart on the market. I mean, come on if they can add SDHC support, they can also add those stupid gimmick features.

Remy669 · Oct 8, 2007

Oh really? I heard from lots of people that they had to use an arm7 fix to get games to work. But i only had to use it with Worms

32 GigaByte SDHC cards exist?! The biggest I've seen are 4 GB... Wow, if they can pull this off... WHOLE DS GAME LIBRARY! Lol, if only.

falcon64z8 · Oct 8, 2007

If that sdhc thing is true then hell yea!

But it must be very expensive

alternative way is this ,but it make your DS not portable anymore

How to hook HDD to DS

James B. · Oct 8, 2007

holy crap. thats crazy.

Fat D · Oct 8, 2007

32 Gigabytes is the theoretical maximum. Just because it exists does not mean it has been reached.

Flozem · Oct 8, 2007

*checks date*

Heh - no April 1st...

Great News! Thanks for the scoop Costello.

I'm still confused about the process of adding micro SDHC support. I was encouraged when DSLink did it with a software/firmware update, then confused when SCDS One had to launch a new version to support it.

Because of those two facts, I'm assuming that it can be enabled with a software update, as long as you have the correct hardware in place on the PCB. I wish someone with more chip/tech knowledge would clear that up for us.

Anyway, I'm just hoping they can fix the games with arm7 issues. It would be nice to know they are staying on top of compatibility.

I would be nice to see some, but if they don't add it I don't care at all

It'd be nice to say that the R4 does everything the CycloDS Evolution does. It's still cheaper and more secure (after all you risk bricking when you update some device's firmware).

According to wikipedia:

QUOTE said:
As of July 2007, microSD cards are available in capacities from 64MB to 4GB (with 6GB and 8GB announced but not yet available from retailers). Cards at and beyond 4GB are available only in the newer SDHC format developed both by KingMax and by SanDisk. These have a storage density of 34 GB/cm3.

and

QUOTEOn 17th May 2007, Samsung announced that they had developed an 8GB (68 GB/cm3) MicroSD card. This exceeds the current capacity and write speed of microSD cards and can be written at 4MB/s or faster. "This is also much faster than the SD Speed Class 2 designation carried by most competing microSD cards currently on the market." As this card was just recently developed, it is not available for commercial or personal purchase yet.
