Download play was already added for the last firmware update...

not too familiar w/ it, has anyone tried it and worked for them?

It does work for all the games I have tried but there were sparse reports of a few that it didn't work with. Don't know which those were. My bet is that it should work just fine now though. 1.12 is going to be nice because I think they were finally supposed to fix the ARM7 issue.

I have no need for SDHC support as 2 GB is more than enough for me. As long as they don't drop support for the "old" R4's, I'll be happy...

Edit: Didn't see 2nd page.

ARM7 will hopefully be fixed in the new kernel, that's basically all I want.

Yeah, same here.

All I want is support for the old R4s!

~~Damn you R4!~~
I mean... unless future DS games are going to take up 512MB or 1GB (lol) I have no need for SDHC... yet. XP

Same as some people said, I honestly don't care about capability to work with the higher memory cards. :\ And besides, wasn't this announced earlier anyway?

I only use my 4GB SDHC for media, and I currently have the whole Fullmetal Alchemist anime (which is about 3GB) and about 700MB of music. I only keep it in my M3 Lite, so R4 compatibility isn't a problem. If I ever need more than 2GB of DS games, that's what the Cyclo I'm getting whenever they ship is for

A game that big will lag like no tomorrow. It's not a smart idea to do that. SDHC would be nice only if you have tons of stuff on your R4, otherwise, no point.

Why would it lag?

DarkAura · Nov 9, 2007

The more games you have on, the more it lags. For me anyways.

cubin' · Nov 9, 2007

Meh. I have a 512mb sd card and it works fine for my purposes. I only need a few games on there at a time, any more and I wouldn't concentrate on finishing the ones I've got.

My R4 works really well for what I want it too. Would be nice if they could fix the arm7 problem but I don't really need it to play the games.

hollabackitsobi · Nov 9, 2007

Yeah, memory latency has nothing to do with size man.

Nero · Nov 9, 2007

Hmm.. So this must be why there's such a long wait for the next R4 Kernel.

They're making a new cart!

~Nero

enigmaindex · Nov 9, 2007

I'd only buy the new R4 cart when SDHC card prices are really low. I use my R4 for media purposes aswell not just gaming, so this is quite good for me and 2gb is not enough. I hope they keep up with the old R4 updates aswell for the time being.

Eyedunno · Nov 9, 2007

Bastards! And I just bought a "new" R4 a few weeks ago. Oh well, 2GB is more than enough, considering I mainly use it for homebrew/emulation.

Lol I ordered mine like 2 weeks ago :-/ Have only been using it for like 9 days though. Sucks but oh well, just waiting for the new firmware.!

Rock Raiyu · Nov 9, 2007

This is totally unfair. As long as I get a firmware update, I don't care. Though I do want SDHC support..

thomasroberts6 · Nov 9, 2007

not that bothered Tbh. i have a 2gb kingston and thats all I need.

I Dont have a Wii so i am not affected by the non-wii-connectivity thing,

and i can just patch it myself

MaHe · Nov 9, 2007

Instead of going for R4 with SDHC support (which I honestly don't care about, but I sold my R4 a while ago, so I need a new card), I'll probably just go for CycloDS.

i ordered mine two days ago

i honestly couldn't be stuffed waiting for the black (or any for that matter) cyclo so decided to go ahead with the R4. i have a 2gb card anyway so no big deal for me. i will be replacing it with a cyclo as soon as they sort out the next batch though.
