Hi,

I know the R4 team went on to make another card -- is it this team? http://www.r4i-sdhc.com

I am just wondering which is the BEST or most reliable of all the clones...

And I know R4 is for noobs... But is anyone knows, any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks!

But I read on these boards that they did... or at least *members* of the previous R4 team did...

Yep, you probably read a post from a fanboy who had been told by someone else who was told by someone who was told by this blokes cousin that some bloke asked some other bloke in China who ask his cousin who knew a flashcart seller who knew a bloke from the company that made the clone who swore on a kittens life that it was made by the R4 Team. The only "official" clone is the one made by the M3 Team.

Much respect to you for giving good advice and not just trying to make sales.

but dave the m3 clone of the r4i sucks balls

I never said it didn't. GameKool is gamekool.com and a retailer of flashcarts and instead of just trying to make a sale they steered them away from a clone. Not many sellers would do that, so much respect to them.

    designed for only specific hardware

    It's a locked down Linux distro basically

    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
