Nice to see they released an update, I thought they were leaving it for dead to be honest

Got myself an Acekard now, but always good to have a backup card, even if the build quality isn't fantastic.

Kingdom Hearts had a few issues for me with the old kernal (needed to be unpacked and repacked with DSbuff for one). Note that only affected the R4i and not the R4 Ultra.

/Edit

With this firmware Kingdom Hearts still needs the hex edit, but after that no freezes as with the old firmware, no need to use DSbuff method. Return to title screen works too.

Mario Inside Browser works for me with Akaio kernel (on R4ultra card) but with an issue at "adrenaline river" (cul de sac), it freezes on a black screen with a looping sound of water

Every new games work fine with the new kernel as far as I'm concerned...

Life works that way: I ordered an acekard 2 weeks ago because I gave up on trying to boot these games!!! Now r4ultra gets an update!!! Btw I'm cool with that... I'll have a backup acekard just in case!!!

    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
