I'm about to buy some MicroSD carts for my R4 DS flashcart (and for the one of my friends), but I've bought just 1 first to be sure I would get 'the real thing'.

I've received it but I'm doubting if it's really genuine. I've bought it in China and the person that sells it says that they are genuine. What do you think? These are the pictures I've taken:

I've tested it with my R4 and these are the results:
Tony Hawk: Slowdowns when playing
Castlevania: Freezes at teleport

I notice that your picture is a little bit different than mine. See the 1GB vs. 1.0 GB and the Sandisk Logo behind 'Sandisk'.

I think I've got a fake after all....

yep, can also back up that my 1.0 gig ultra2 sandisk has "1.0" rather than just "1".

also i'm pretty sure Tony Hawk and Castlevania don't work well even with real sandisks on most carts anyway.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
