Games don't load that slow on my Acekard, maybe R4 loads games a little faster, but not worth getting an R4 for a second or 2 loading time.

Complete Bullshi*. Please.. there are far worse cards like any clone for example. The build quality is better than the ak2i so pour yourself a glass of stfu. Now with a very nice firmware running on it theres nothing crap about it. We are only talking about a couple of woodr4 releases so far too, a pretty good start I think. The original R4 was a decent card for its time and a decent card now with wood. Fact.anaxs said:wow, ur comparing the crapiest card to the best card.

Yes akaio is v.good (and it has hardware advantages such as SDHC and better AP checking etc), its f-in great and I'm not trying to be a dic* here so don't take my post too seriously but what I said. And please excuse my language.
Why the f*** does it always have to be one thing or another. Time for a childish row about who hates this that and the other? Grow the f up, you can like both firmwares.
Yeah you are right. It is the ACEKARD forum (I forgot...damn this topic!!) and most cannot like the r4 with wood too, its got to be one or the other.

Likewise if you ask the same question in the R4 forum you will get some people who are heavily biased towards the R4.
That delay is only for Europe.

(Wait time is made because the cloud of Iceland that made planes unable to fly over Europe)
I just wanted to clarify a few things (and again apologise for a little bit of a rant earlier, got burgled tonight after writing that so maybe it was karma. Second time in 6 months probably the same heroin addict anyway..). Its easy to recommend the acekard over the R4 because its current, the R4 is now an older card (team is dead).firespike8 said:Acekard - Price 16.58$ CAD Shoptemp.com
+AKAIO and the team.
+SDHC
+DSi support
+More developed software (There have been more updates/releases, longer time in development)
+Flashable Firmware (In case of future DSi firmware updates)
-Questionable Build Quality (Based off my personal experience only and what we all know from acekard and users here. I had contact issues with my 1st ak2i, it worked only in my DSi but wasn't recognised by my DS Lite. I then bought a ak2.1 after being told the build quality was better but I thought it was worse. The ak2.1 I got was so bad one of the plastic tabs snapped the first time I tried to remove it from my DS. I got another ak2i afterwards which worked in both DS and DSi.)
R4 (with woodR4 1.05) - Price 6.03$ CAD Shoptemp.com
+Yellow Wood Goblin and their software WoodR4
(+) Fast load Speeds with WoodR4 but akaio isn't slow. Its just slower. (But also I think its due to the nature of SD vs SDHC and better perfomance on smaller capacity cards but I have never really checked this out)
+Better Build Quality? (Not so many issues with hardware failure etc. The original seems well built and its built to last it seems.)
+Very Cheap Price now
-Wood R4 still in early stages of development, not as developed as akaio you could argue.
-No SDHC
-Older "dated" hardware? (Doesn't have under the hood AP technology like akaio, inferior in this respect)
-DS only (Not DSi)
-Beware of clones there are many and they are all shi*e. (Don't support them, they steal from others and profit off their hard work but give back sweet fa. Don't give them your money...support a real team. Make sure its an original if you do buy one)
-Only software it has that is anywhere near akaio is WoodR4. No guarantee releases will continue but there is some hope.
-R4 autoboots (That is to say, it doesn't act like a "real" ds cart in this respect...akaio does!)

And what guarantee is there that AKAIO releases will continue?dark.boy.6687 said:AKAIO is updated regularly, Wood RPG is updated like once a month or something.
The last AKAIO update was a month ago, so...

Same with AKAIO. Also, I don't get how autobooting is a bad thing.

Technically, there's 2 people for unofficial support (That's Normmatt and Smiths), and a full team for official support (Acekard team) in case AKAIO stops.Miser said:Same with AKAIO. Also, I don't get how autobooting is a bad thing.firespike8 said:-a single person supporting

Remember the message you got with the last release? "STOP FUCKING WHINING ABOUT RELEASES OR YOU WON'T RECEIVE ANYMORE." Also, remember what happened when AKAIO 1.5.1 MOD for clones was released?
Also, a big plus for R4 is that the Wood R4 is open-source.
