Well, they said they would release the firmware update for the orginal R4 cartridge. So that would mean you won't have to buy a new one and that there's still only one cartridge that will be continued to get updated by R4 team.

But it's still not known how long it will take before the update gets released, so it may be months away if it even gets an firmware update at all...

 

You won't get SDHC, but the R4 Team will probably make one loader/kernel for both the normal and SDHC version.

 

Yeah they really are taking their time with this new firmware. It should be so amazing it will walk my dog

 

not as long as I've been waiting on my ds-x firmware update...

 

As soon as I heard they wont be able to add SDHC support to the current R4's i sold mine and now im waiting for my Cyclo to come in the mail. =] It still will be good if they continue kernels for the current R4's as both my brothers have one.

 

the next card i going to get is M3 Real

 

Didn't they promise about release this month ? or is it another delay ?

 

Well the R4 firmware delay is getting ridiculous! The team should be ashamed.

Screw SDHC...the list of "non-working" roms is getting silly and they have no excuse for not doing an ARM7 interim firmware to bring compatability back up to 100%. (Unless they are unable to fix it. )

I'm lucky that jalaneme didn't take me up on my bet...it would have cost me a DS lite!!! ( I was sure they'd do a new firmware last month. :'( )

Even if they did bring out a new cart, there's no way I'd buy one seeing how poor R4 support has become. It's surprising seeing how many sales they've had, maybe they retired on all the money they made?

Acekard RPG would be my choice to replace R4, unless something even better comes along.

Oh well I'm still happy with my R4 for now...back to playing panzer tactics!!

 

I don't see the point of having selling your R4 if you are happy with the current kernel. Do you absolutely need SDHC or Wii connectivity?

 

Here's an even wilder idea: Wait.
