OP
The update has not yet been published on the offical site (r4isdhc.com), but some webshops already have the update files and the new kernel. My webshop from Spain has published them on its site (http://www.flashcard.es/Software-en-Handleidingen-sp-6.html), it's in Dutch (you can use Google Translator) but you can find it below the picture of the R4 Dual Core 2013. I have uploaded it on my Dropbox, so you can download it from there:
- New kernel: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ecmr1tmygud96ax/Kernel 6.1.0.rar
- Firmware update: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j0ubdr5yrncgjw3/update_3ds61_patch.nds

ATTENTION: Don't turn your 3DS off or pull the R4 Dual Core 2013 out when updating, you'll brick your card and it will be useless.

Note: Your card has to be like the one on the picture below, otherwise you won't be able to update.

EDIT: The kernel has been uploaded to the official site: http://www.r4isdhc.com/download_white_new2013/. This makes the update official.

Fuck that R4 clone maker! Based on what I saw on their website, they made a lot of models and the support for each model is good for over a year! But I have no choice since this is the cheapest 3DS-compatible (for later firmware versions) flashcart available in my area.

r4isdhc.com stated that it 'needs more time to update their website'.

Couldn't agree more. I bought a 2013 Dual Core R4 sdhc and it bricked on me after trying to run ysmenu on it. Now my 3DS and my DS lite wont even recognize the cart. So I just decided to get a SuperCard DStwo and my life has been way much better since. Just get a Supercard, it's well worth the price.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's the same thing happened on my first one! I tried to install YSMenu because some games are unable to run on this shit. I've just got that shit for free so I lose nothing when it was bricked.

I didn't believe it when it happened because it seemed like such a stupid thing to brick an R4 cart. You can even try to upgrade the firmware using another cart! This cart is awful, it can't even run animal crossing: wild world.

    because i didn't say i was asleep

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • 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)
