Next R4 Kernel coming soon!

[Raisingod]

any experts would like to share if this is possible? sdhc support tru software update?

btw i know if i buy sdhc card today there will be micro sd card reader included but is it possible that current card readers can support sdhc flash memory too?

It could be. We don't know much about the PIC the R4 uses ( there is no datasheet for it) and it could be possible that there is a way to write to it .

I highly doubt software is possible since the PIC first job is to 'mount' the cart and load the loader files and SDHC has a different address / sector length then SD.

Lucky me i choose for R4

This is awesome news!
The R4 Team has amazed me again.

Just one little thing:

I asked them for more details about SDHC: "is this going to be a firmware update or a new product?"
and I was answered "should be firmware".

If the update for SDHC really is via a firmware update... maybe that's what took them so long? I mean if they really have been able to add SDHC support to all R4's, I'm sure the process of figuring out HOW to do it was long and difficult. So if this all turns out to be true in the sense we're thinking, I give a nice pat on the back to the R4 guys for doing a great job.

HOWEVER, if it only works on say... the newer R4s/An even newer unreleased version of the R4... then I am greatly disappointed! Although... looking at the current prices of SDHC, I might just buy a new R4 because of the luxury of extra space. I really do need it... Hate having to delete a game to add new ones... Anyways...

Regardless of how this turns out, really looking forward to the update! (mostly to see the outcome of this whole questionable SDHC support issue, because honestly... the Wii connectivity issue isn't a concern of mine as I own Pokemon, and Worms... well you could play it anyways...)

really?
imho, it's only normal that the current R4s don't support SDHC, so I would be gladly surprised if they could upgrade the firmware so as to implement SDHC support.
However if they had to release a new product, I would only find it normal, no big surprise here.

I meant disappointed about the wait for a new kernel.

As then there really is no excuse for the wait. I wouldn't mind the wait if they somehow figured out how to get SDHC support, as I said just before saying that part.

I see what you mean, yeah. What have they been doing all this time? hopefully something useful

Awesome news! Although I don't own a Wii and 2gb is plenty enough for me.

All I really want is a new GUI... and that's about it. But gd news!

 

[mattyb89]

Fantastic news finally glad to hear something from the R4 team hope it goes well

hmmm intresting, but i doubt the new update will have sdhc support, not that i need it as they are too expensive. its good about the other stuff though, i really wish they would add full touch screen support for the menu and switch those screens around.

I was on the fringe of buying an EzFlash V.... I guess the possibility of SDHC might have won me over

 

[bobrules]

Good job r4 team once again!

dun worry according to both R4 and EZV teams that there are no plans for new line of products replacing the currently ones.

 

[JacobReaper]

hmm... all i really have to say is.. W00T!!!!!!!!!

this proof again that r4 team sucks ass!!!11 r4 sucks because it doesn't have leds like ds-x. dancing leds are the key to get the girls, so r4 team sucks. i think they're gayz

well DSX sucks!

Great, the R4 team is really the best

I couldn't care less about SDHC (or something like that) support, but Wii Connectivity would be great.
So what that we had too wait a bit longer for this update, they previously released an update every month, this time it took something like 2 months. That's still good, in my opinion.

So after this, what advantages will the CycloDS have over the R4?

in-game translation, slo-mo if r4 hasn't done it already. uses cyclo micro and 3-1 for ram supports 3-1 rumble loading of .nds files via DSlinux and DSOrganize

 

[bobrules]

Maybe there are more changes we just don't know yet.
