R4 / M3DSS official stop production

[IHN02]

Oh well. My R4 is serving me very well and there aren't a whole lot of games I want in the coming months. I'll just stick to 1.18 until a must-have game isn't compatible, then buy a CycloDS. I don't mind being forced to upgrade.

i don't really care as long they open source their firmware. if they don't do that i will be very VERY angry.

 

[bobrules]

Ahtin always speaks the truth. thanks for the information.

Me too...though I wonder how the "custom firmware" that come out will work with future game compatibility issues.

I'm also hoping the loader will be open-sourced if they're going to stop updates. I'm not ready to get a new flashcart yet since I still gotta save my money for the upcoming CHSPE in October (It's been more than half a year now and I only raised $30 so far >_> ).

Don't speak so soon. You know better than that. ;P

 

[Rock Raiyu]

Good thing I stopped using my R4 months ago..going to sell it to my friend. He won't know anything about updates

 

[Gukina]

arm7 patches were always faster than r4 kernel fixes anyways.. we don't need the r4 team if they were to leave and ahtin didn't make a post a few weeks ago claiming r4 were going to brick all fake versions .. which never happen?

Are you translating rumors from the Chinese hack forum to here? does anyone have proof that anything ahtin posts actually happens? If there is no more arm7 patches r4 = dead if what ahtin says is true.

the horror...

 

[ahtin]

if you dont believe, just let it be a joke, but I have to tell you this is truth.

M3DSS official announced stop production at their chinese E-Shop (????)

and Team R4 also stopped their production from today, the news will be posted next week at some of the famous chinese game magazine.

Ahtin, is it 100% closed doors for R4 then (nothing will come from them in the future for current owners), or is it that they are moving to a SDHC compatible product finally and discontinuing their current R4 line? I had the thought something was coming in september...

Be interesting to see how this turns out. It wouldn't be terribly difficult to make a (new) loader that is open source, but if they are going to entirely ditch their customers who made them popular while filling their pockets... source would be nice as maintenance from them directly has been lacking.

I have ask them for
1. 915 firmware still alive?
2. will update in the future?
3. open source?

 

[neoice]

Yeah, I think it's cause all the gaming companies are ganging up and suing them (in japan).
I heard they were going after all the other carts too.

Are you retarded? The R4 team said they were releasing a firmware that'll brick DSs with fake R4s, IN SEPTEMBER. They said they're gonna release it in September, not July. And Ahtin's posts have been accurate till now, so we'll just have to see in September.

Also, even the Supercard team commented on the subject, saying to the R4 team that they shouldn't, etc. So, it's true.

I was planning on getting a new card anyways. I can't afford a cycloDS, but I'm thinking about the Supercard DS One. Can anyone vouch for it? I haven't heard much about it. It seems comparable to the Cyclo.

 

[Destructobot]

No question, get the Evo over the SCDS1. I've used both, and while the feature sets are similar, the Evo's interface wins hands down. I currently own an SCDS1, but I'm going to buy an Evo as soon as I get the cash together.

 

[granville]

Guess I'll have to work harder. Too bad DealExtreme doesn't seem to have them anymore. The question is how will this new lawsuit affect the flashcard market...

 

[Destructobot]

Probably the same way every other lawsuit of its type affected the market: not very much.

 

[xJonny]

People are taking that lawsuit article too far saying it's going to end all DS piracy.
