I'm struggling to update my r4ids.cn R4i Gold 3DS card with the new patch.
I have a DS Lite and a 3DS that's currently version 4.2.0-9E.
I've tried everything, both files (R4iGold_3DS45_NDSi145_Patch_NDSi.nds and R4iGold_3DS45_NDSi145_Patch_NDSL.nds) using both consoles. But no luck.
Every time I press KEY_B to check my cards's status, nothing happens. I've left it for hours and still nothing happens.
When I press KEY_A to try to begin the update process, it just say's "FAIL".
Am I doing anything wrong?
The card is revision C, HW:R4i Gold 3DSb, Sys:NDSi 1.44&3DS4.4.0-10. And the icon is "Metroid Prime Hunters *DEMO VERSION*" (it came with this icon).

They need to release a patch for those of us with revision c cards that didn't come with kirby or deep labyrinth as the original game icons.

Hey guys Pong have been banned from the forum.
He says some mod banned him for something he had permission to do,
and he trusted me to post his updates until he gets back.

Pong created a blog for his updates information:
http://pongupdates.wordpress.com/

Thanks for Pong, for his effort in helping the community

I've seen many trolls, flammers and attention whores on gbatemp, that do whatever they want and stay without a single warning.
What have he done or said that could be that big to permanently ban him from the forum?

oh......... i am sorry.. i truthfully was thinking it was like a 1-3 day ban thing, i've been on a lot of forums that do that for being rude to other members or shooting other members stuff down but they themselfs don't provide proof what they say


again i am sorry!

If you're sorry, it's not for me you should be apologizing.
I don't know what happened between you and Pong,
He'll be back soon with a new profile, then you can solve this misunderstanding.

Welcome to the forum :grog:

guess its time someone started a new thread to track firmware blocking / updates / releases

i can't be buggered visiting some poorly optimised ad laden blog.

ad laden blog?

there is not a signle advert on it the the 3ds firmware links are easy to read and clear
and its easy for people to comment and talk straight to me
plus i can post info i cant on temp
& its easy to edit

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
