i really think the g6 team will just make their own english one off this one, and in no time we'll see an offical g6 english firmware, hehehe =)

ps. i thought the g6's were sold out all over despite in being in chiense, i don't know, but when my 1 was shipped out, every1 was complaining that they want one even though it was in chinese

the info tab says it's just v4.0 beta

Yeah it is. This had been posted before on these forums (don't remeber exactly which thread) and it's just an older
firmware which happens to have both english and chinese languages. However if you try to update to english 4.0c
after installing this, my guess is that it won't work. I'm still looking forward to a hack. Something tells me that the
Chinese firmware has built in english support but that it was disabled in the source code.

I don't think there is/was a v4.0c beta.
As far as I know these are the firmware versions that have come out for G6Lite:

v4.0beta:
Major update, oldest and the only one with dual language

v4.0a:
Minor update, the version included in most final G6 package CDs

v4.0b:
Minor update

v4.0c:
Minor update

v4.1:
Minor update, still only in Chinese

I'm not understanding this thread correctly...

What I think is going on is downgrading firmware??

The G6 lites come with 4.X firmware, and this thread is telling people to flash it with 1.0 beta firmware.

Is this right?

Sorry for the slightly offtopic question, and I understand that I missed some discussion on this, but is there really any reason to care if I get a chinese version or not?

I mean for the most part everything is straight forward and easy to use and understand correct? I could care less about the pda function but it would be nice if the rest of the info (game names, etc...) were at least in english so I could enjoy it a little bit more.

Thanks for the info.

EDIT - Nevermind, found the other thread talking about this.

I just received my g6 lite today and was loading the various builds of the loader. My lite is the Chinese version. It came with the 4.0a software loaded. I tried to load the 4.0c English version and it loaded but gave me the English language error others have been talking about. Then, I loaded the 4.0 beta loader described in this thread and it worked fine and 100 % in english. I had no problems with any of the 14 or 15 games that were loaded on it. I did have a problem with pocketnes and ebooks opening on the gba side but other emulators did work so I'm assuming there is a compatibility issue beyond my scope.

Also, I tried Mario Kart DS and got the same data related error many people had and confirmed that it was a problem with the rom. It seems the (U) version did not work but the (E) version did work. The game ran, WIFI worked, etc.

Other things. My G6 lite seems to have come with the "old" style casing instead of the one with holes in recent threads. Also, I put some .txt ebook files on the u drive and tried to read them in the gba media center area and was actually able to read one from the text file but others did not want to be read. Does anyone have any information on this reader in english? If I find more about this I'll let you know. A built in reader is a nice feature.

I really have no complaints at this point. I messed with the Chinese loader for a while before updating and it really didn't make much of a difference. You still have the icons of most games and it is possible to show the names of the roms in english. The important things you need to assign to the roms are in the pc software for the most part and that is completely in english.
