Eyedunno said:Wow. The first post in this thread looked like spam, but still, yeah, it does look like this might be the new R4 (or a COMPLETE ripoff of R4). In any case, if it is a new R4, one wonders why they don't call it the new R4. R4 has name recognition, and N5 does not.
I found one Chinese site that's saying it's the second generation R4, but my ability to read Chinese is limited to my ability to read Japanese, so I can't read the actual detailed description.
1. Cart is physically identical (exception of sticker).halljames said:Lets face it, so far, there is no evidence regarding if this is the new successor to the R4, or a rip off.
Heres the difference though: the EDGE is copying a great cart.PharaohsVizier said:I thought the EDGE might have been crap since it was so similar to the Cyclo but its quite awesome!
Volsfan91 said:LOL, I love the name.
It's like they sat down and said "What's a name that we can give it that will sound almost exactly like R4 but won't get us sued?"
Letter + number = FLASHCART WIN.
BECUZ TEH R4 IS TEH AWZMES XCARD EVAR~!!!!!!DjoeNtje said:Also WHY do we need 5 topics or something like that about this n5DS, this one is more then enough!
Hacked version of the R4's firmware.Hit said:He says it isn't R4, it uses it's own firmware
iq_132 said:Not just hacked, there are only 2 bytes different -> R4->N5 text change. Awesome.
wiithepeople said:It's here. I'm almost 100% sure it's the new R4, probably now with SDHC support, because the sites of R4 and N5 have the EXACT same layout, plus the N5 already has firmwares 1.15 and 1.16. Only thing is the N5 website is still under construction as the "Products", "Developments", etc. tabs don't have links yet.
BTW here is the R4 website so you can compare. Also, check this out:
N5 website said:The n5DS Cartridge is the current top-of-the-line in DS SLOT-1 flash carts. It is just an amazing little device like original DS cart size, it is a complete solution with no need to purchase any additional components or deal with any messy software and truly the easiest media enhancer you have ever done; To simply put it, this is a must have peripheral for any regular DS/DS lite owner.

Notice any similarities?
If by "poor clone" you mean identical to the R4 but with crappy boxart, then sure.Doggy124 said:In my opinion, N5 is just a poor clone of R4
