there's a new R4 coming out also in case anyone is wondering.


Any website confirming what you're saying ?
The R4 team announced a new plastic casing to be produced with the next batch of R4's (announced yesterday) but that's about it...

Guys please try and remember this was a very brief and rushed "FIRST IMPRESSIONS". Of course not everything is going to be answered in a few short paragraphs. Please bear with me as I put this card through its paces and wait for the full review which I'm sure will answer all your questions and more..

Of course I will still try and answer the odd intelligent question here.

hey, lets all pass judgment on a pre-release loader! lololol

Though I do hope that they release a bit of an update (In-game screen plzzzz) by the time I get mine or it will take a bit for me to switch from my Cyclo

So... Does the internal flash pass the C:PoR test?

I'd like to know this too. As the game is so picky about what media it's being run on I think it's 100% THE ROM of choice for testing new hardware.
The intro movie (also the DoS one) is another good test for read speed, see if its in sync, or any stutters etc.
Like shaun said, this is merely a preview so lets not get all pissy until the final build is in our hands.

I would like to say that the loader speed and Download Play will be fixed on the next loader release. Furthermore Action Replay will be released soon.

- I was told this by the AceKard team

They've had tons of time to do that already, why didn't they make that stuff earlier if it's all that easy to make?

It is also has a crap GUI, I want something simple and functional, not too much to ask. This is anything but simple. Hope a dev changes it cause if it doesn't get fixed, my money's staying with me.
Dude, there are enough flashcarts with simplistic GUI's already, can't blame them for making something nice looking now instead.
If you want a simplistic GUI, take the old AceKard. It has a really simplistic GUI and not much seems to have improved since it anyway. (Still 100% ROM compatibility, but nothing more)

There is one thing we wanna clarify that the menu for AK RPG is still debugging for enhancement requestment change and it seems we send a wrong version of menu to gbatemp. But the base function of the menu has passed load test.
We'll send a stable version again.
Thank you.
Good to hear that things may be fixed before the actual release.

I can't really tell from the video and since I never had an auto booting card, does the card auto boot straight to its menu?

    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
