    Hacking R4DS and R4DS III, same original dev group?

    R4DS-III English firmware->Encrypted->Patched for Chinese Hardware Confirmed starts, loads on genuine R4 Chinese cartridge. Haven't done any extensive testing yet, but I'd be surprised if it didn't work properly for anything I threw at it - just like encrypted and patched N5 firmware worked...

    Am I being scammed?

    Pretty much any laptop power supply these days is universal 100-240V @ 50-60Hz and works worldwide - there may be some exceptions to this, but they'd be pretty rare as it's cheaper to produce one common switchmode unit that works anywhere than to produce specific US and European versions. Most...

    Hacking Why do people hate the R4 so much?

    Depends on the definition of "better", I guess. From a features point-of-view, yeah, there's lots that's better. But damn, those things are rugged! I've seen a couple of badly abused R4s that just kept working, once I opened them up and got the saliva or sweat residue out of them and smoothed...

    Hacking How much should I charge?

    What about the risk? It'll also depend on what thejellydude does with regard to warranty and repairs and RMAs and all that. If he's planning on keeping a few on hand for replacements or replacing/upgrading to something else for a reasonable period of time (say, at least 3-6 months - possibly...

    Hacking R4 GUI improvement?

    Actually, leaving aside cost and lack of SDHC support for the moment, I can think of another situation in which the R4 is a very good workable solution - with three nice big buttons for the options at the first-level menu, and no need to ever remove the card for anything other than updates...

    Hacking R4 GUI improvement?

    I generally try to refrain from ad hominem comments - but, if was to use them, I'd probably start by suggesting that I thought you were above them too. Oh, and da_head, from the sound of things and from the carts I've played with, I suspect you'd really like the AK2 or RPG - some others too, I...

    Hacking R4 GUI improvement?

    That's not necessarily a bad thing. Flexibility is great for some some people (I'm loving my AK2, for example) but one persons "feature" is another persons "WTF? Where'd that come from?" moment just waiting to happen. There's more to life than menu and skinning system features - if there wasn't...

    Hacking Id love a 32gb card but..........

    ...around 600 sounds about right, and trimmed they should probably come close to fitting on a 16-gig TF - or, a pair of 8s in separate flashcarts. Why anyone would want to have the entire Nintendogs range a mere button-press away, though, is beyond me. And for practical reasons, anyone...

    Hacking The World Ends With you.

    No problems here with 4.07.bliss.k06 on the AK2 Mind you, the one I'm using is untrimmed. As someone coming to the AK2 from the R4 and DSTT and M3 Real and (very briefly) EZ-V, I've gotta ask... and please don't take this as trolling, it isn't... Is there a disproprortionate number of...

    Hacking Should I keep my R4 or DSTT?

    The trouble with Wikipedia is that its entries can be, and frequently are, edited by any old idiot. The R4 and M3S are different versions of the same hardware - the difference is one solder bridge, for those who are interested. The DSTT is a completely different piece of hardware. Grrr...

    Hacking Is R4DS and E-Z Flash 3-in-1 still the way to go?

    That would be the Fake R4 "Upgrade II" ones that are in circulation at the moment. They're the same hardware as the n5 and e7 and there's even a fake R6 that's the same thing. The deal there is that the n5/e7/"assorted fake" hardware has apparantly been blowing internal fuses in some consoles...

    Hacking Should I keep my R4 or DSTT?

    MicroSD cards are dirt cheap, and so is the DSTT... so I'd suggest keeping the R4 and getting a DSTT - and using YSMenu on it. Why? because it's fun to play with both and figure out their foibles, and it means that you won't need to worry so much about the latest piece of homebrew you're messing...

    Hacking SMG wont dump!

    I've seen that *exact* message - on a scratched GC disc, so I assumed that it was something to do with physical defects that the decryption code in rawdump couldn't cope with. Ended up dumping it successfully on the Wii using the SD adaptor, though. I bought the LG drive from consolesource back...

    Hacking Random Freezing.

    Shim it. One screw, three minutes with a craft knife and some thin card, and you're set. This is a known issue, and easily fixed.

    Hacking Should be getting my R4 tomorrow. Initial setup?

    On reading through the OP's posting history, it seems he got it from gameyeeah - so yeah, I guess he'll end up with the real thing.

    Hacking DS N5 Revolution is it a new r4?

    So, in other words, only about 80% are saleable. That's pretty bad. R4 have missed the boat. If they had a quality SDHC-compatible product that wasn't too much more expensive than the other basic carts I'd be all over it, and any chance the clones had in the marketplace has been killed by their...

    DS #2197: Moorhuhn: Jewel of Darkness (Europe)

    Yeah, I think you probably have seen something similar. I don't usually post a reply to something a couple of weeks old, and I *never* use all caps, but... well... THE GAMEPLAY AND MANY OF THE GRAPHICS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS BEETLE JUNIOR! It's good to see that there are still new depths...

    Hacking Defective DSTT

    Let's see, Canada, a bricks-and-mortar establishment... have a look at http://www.consumer.ca/ and see if anything there helps. I have no idea what the situation is in Canada, but in many other countries it's pretty damn hard to disclaim the implied warranties of Merchantability and...

    Hacking Should be getting my R4 tomorrow. Initial setup?

    That is, of course, assuming that it's a real R4 and not the "R4DS - Upgrade II" - in which case, the firmware would need to be downloaded from www.r4dsl.com instead of www.r4ds.com

    Hacking M3 real ds vs DSTT

    Okay, that got my attention, guess I'll have to consider it again. Damn... just when I'd stopped looking at the Edge as a possible purchase for friends, too. I guess I got blinded by their proprietary cheat format to everything else about that cart, and their relative newness (yeah, I know the...

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii

    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
