Hacking Chip?

[Barbie]

Can anyone give me any feedback on this chip? Does anyone else's chip look like this?
I opened the R4 I had received to compare it to everyone else's. Any thoughts are welcomed.

 

[Krestent]

It's definitely not an original R4, or one of those clones that's identical to it. It's an R4 SDHC, judging by the writing on the bottom.

It should play 4000 games. I wouldn't think too much about it.

 

[Barbie]

My only concern is... I tried everything possible to try and get it to work...
I don't know what I could be missing or if it just simply doesn't work...
Some people have said it's a fake... But when I turn on the DS it shows
"Star Wars Lethal Alliance" as the game inserted... I thought I had all the correct files
on the Micro SD but now I'm questioning myself... I have read through so many threads
on this site but I can't seem to figure anything out...

I even tried the WooD R4 from this site, and nothing happened...
but I could have done something wrong... I have been trying all day...
If the chip looks fine, then it should work, shouldn't it? =/
Do any of you have some advice for me? I'm new to all this and I thought
I just drag and drop the said files onto the SD and it would work...
But it doesn't...

Did you get a box with it or have you still got the case? It'd be easier to help you if you had both or at least one.

Yes I do. I had posted about it in another thread and they told me it was a fake but I didn't want to stop trying...

The box and front of the chip. This is their site: http://www.r4sdhc.com/index.asp

After putting the Kernel's on, just to try. This is what I got on my screen. Someone said I was missing files or something...
But then I was told it was a fake because I get a black screen... -__-

Then I decided to take the thing apart to take a picture of the chip, and that's why I posted that.
Just for more information. I already purchased another from ShopTemp just to be safe...
But I would still like to know about this one...

Back to the original question though... If the chip looks fine, then it should work?
Perhaps it's I who could be doing something wrong? Although... I could have sworn I did everything.

The chip looking ok is no guarantee that it actually is. Have you downloaded and installed the kernal/firmware from the website?

Yes I have. I have done it twice to make sure I had done nothing wrong...
But when I run it I get nothing... And so then I try to run the said "Star Wars" game..
And that is when I get a black screen on bottom and white screen on top...
The only file missing from the download was "_DS_MSHL.NDS" and I searched the web
to find one, and then I tried it... and it didn't work either. I had, the six files in the SD
and nothing happened... -__- I would assume since the Star Wars thing shows up that it
is legit? Or perhaps it's just to throw people like me off...?

 

[Krestent]

The only R4 that is legit is the original; anything that has a box not colored black or mentions SDHC is a fake.

Can you take a screenshot of the files on the root of your microsd card for me?

Can you take a screenshot of the files on the root of your microsd card for me?

Yes I can.
These are the files inside the Micro SD card which I use in the R4.
