I don't really think an update is needed. The R4 does it's job fine. I don't recall Wii Connectivity ever being advertised for it.

Also: Troll sense is tingling, etc.

Yeah I'm being a little bit of a bitch on this one, but 8BitWaluigi has no right to act the way he is acting.

You are absolutely right -- Wii connectivity was NEVER advertised, so why should something be fixed if it doesn't exist. Case closed

If you REALLLY want Wii-DS connectivity sell your R4 to some random kid at school, you can easily fetch a good $60-100 off someone who doesn't know the actual price but knows what he can do with it.

Then buy a cyclods.

Expecting the R4 team to implement Wii-DS connectivity is NUTS!! The R4 hardly updates the card even for compatibility issues. The R4 doesn't need new features for it to sell as its name sells itself so the team doesn't bother.

So don't get your hopes up.

ROFL!!!
You've never been to Australia in winter haven't you? Almost 99.9%(something like that) of Australia have never had snow fall down on it.

You can go to the beach in winter...

This guy speaks the truth. Scam out your R4 and buy a Cyclo.
R4 is dead, let it rest in peace.

The troll sense was towards 8BitWalugi, heh. I agree with you. I just find it hard to believe that people actually capslock about Wii Connectivity being broken.

One more signature!!

I'm trying to buy a CycloDS (it's not that easy to find one here in Brazil) exactly for the wii connectivity, but I know what you're feeling. My kid is also sick for Pokemon.

Just get the CycloDS. Can anyone confirm if this is the most futureproof flashcart to this date? Because if it is, it's safe to say that you (8BitWaluigi) better off replace your R4 and get a flash cart that supports Wii DS.

If CycloDS is indeed futureproof, then an update in the future will also fix connectivity between Animal Crossing DS and Wii.

No card is 100% future proof but yes the cyclods and supercard are the best cards to buy with most features and room for more in the future if needed.

This topic has just become one big joke now and needs to be ended, especially as we have learned the R4 never actually officially supported wii connectivity.

I used to own an R4 and the difference between an R4 fanboy (8BitWalugi) is i know when enough is enough and got another card.

Wii connect, slow-motion, realtime saves, in-game brightness, game guide and realtime cheatcode enabler/disabler all put together are not enough to save the R4.

If you added SDHC and a lower price tag to that list then the R4 would be a good card except for the name which is wearing very these these days " R4 "

Petition, oh kids
Chinese won't even look at petitions!
Nor would a American company, come on the R4 Company made millions why bother spending extra money on the software when the selling rates already got down because of competition

The question is not whether they WANT to fix Wii connectivity, but whether they CAN. I myself stayed with the R4 for a long time waiting for an update, hesitating to switch, but I am glad I gave up and made the switch. I believe it is impossible to update the R4 to do it. The R4 uses an ASIC that interfaces with the MicroSD card, so the code running on the DS is variable, whereas the code running on the R4 is rigid. Now the CycloDS uses an FPGA and Flash Memory, so the actual code running on the Cyclo can be modified. Team Cyclops explained that they achieve Wii connectivity by intercepting read commands from the DS slot and remapping them, something that can only be done from the card.

This whole idea is dumb, you know they're probably not going to do anything other than normal game fixes. If you want Wii-DS connectivity so badly buy the damn game.

Also, the whole caps lock thing makes you look like a nooby 12-year-old.

CAPS LOCK IS NOT CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
