Don't know if this has been noticed, but Soft reset does not work on Worms.

Kinda nice that the support still flowing, if it didn't affect you think about the others who may like the game and stuff.

I'm waiting patiently for the interaction with the Wii to be 100% Working

M3DS Real -> rip R4DS and M3DSS!

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I don't understand what you're all complaining about.
At least they're still supporting their card. So there is no SDHC, but so what? Do you really need that much storage space?

Yeah thats the type of people you call Ultimate Piracy Killers

...I don't understand why would people want about 0-50 Games on their ds...Legit People! Why don't you just but some DS Games?

You know, some people use sdhc for non pirate things like storing couple of gigs of legal mp3

Go buy a MP3 player - cheaper if you compare the sizes, and better sound quality (usually) I don't mean buy an iPod either, because those things are major ripoffs, (even though they're sexy) there's a lot of great mp3 players for the price.

About selling my M3DSS: In my mind, I don't see a reason too. I'm not trying to argue that the R4 is better than the CycloDS (because it's not) but is it worth it to spend more money on a more expensive cart and a more expensive microSD just so I can have more games (which I probably won't even to be able to play all of them) and a couple of features that I won't use (better cheat support? "Hey look! Aren't you impressed by how well I can cheat?"

)

But i like to play nds games, and mp3 quality is satisfacting for my (better then some mp3 players like muvo txfm for example (i had one so i know).

as for the games that i passed there are couple of them

- Phoenix Wright - Ace Atrottery (oprócz bonusowego rozdzia?u

,
- Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow,
- Full Metall Alchemist - Dual Sympathy,
- Brothers in Arms DS,
- Time Ace,
- Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow (GBA)
-Bleach - Blade of Fate
- Worms Opena Warfare (ca?y tryb kampanii single playerowej)
- Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare (IMO najlepsza gra na dsa (oprócz castlevanii

)
- Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
- Project Rub
- Project Rub 2

But im gonna buy acekard rpg , because i will finally have place for mp3 and games (when i will buy sdhc card).
Althought i only have about 700 MB of favourite mp3's , but having something with sdhc and not having sdhc card is just sin

I'm not saying that I can't finish many games, it's just I don't play 40 games at a time. I mean, my old 1G microSD is still enough to hold most of the games I play at a time.

BTW - umm.... I don't speak polish

 

[[Jez]]

in the five pages i just read two of them are full of whining and moaning... that the R4 team released an update to fix games... the horror, how dare they...

I wish I had so little cares to become so emo about things you didn't need when you bought the thing but now cant seem to do without

 

[SnickS]

First I was like: Yeah!

Then I was like: LOL

 

[ShadowXP]

To be honest.. at least the team's alive. You guys are so fucking spoiled it's unreal.

What he said....

BTW, has anyone tried using Wii Connectivity in Pokemon Battle Revolution to see whether it works or not?

Might be a stealth fix ya know...

Honestly, I've gotten every single penny's worth out of my R4, and I have no complaints about the support they've given since launch.

The only thing that bothers me is that they have engaged in what I would consider to be deceptive marketing practices. By sending a message to one of the biggest NDS sites saying that they are working on adding sdhc support to the R4, they were trying to make sure that people kept buying the R4 instead of alternative products. They were just buying themselves time so that people would still buy the R4 while they were working on a new sdhc version.

How many people would have bought the CycloDS or AcekardRPG over the last 2 months instead of the existing R4 without that false information?

If people on this board knew that the current R4 hardware wouldn't support sdhc, then certainly the R4 engineers knew it. I feel like the R4 team used Costello and the reputation of this site to engage in some stop-gap marketing. Pretty shady. Effective, but shady.

I don't understand what you're all complaining about.
At least they're still supporting their card. So there is no SDHC, but so what? Do you really need that much storage space?


Thing is, if the hardware never supported high storage capacity in the first place, how can they magically make it do so? Post new R4s to everyone's address?

EDIT: Yeah, a GUI update wouldn't be too much to ask. Still it was the cheapest flashcard on the market when I brought it so I can't complain. What you pay for is what you get I suppose.

There are many devices that were not initially SDHC compliant that had their firmware patched to allow SDHC support -- phones, cameras, etc. There is no reason why the R4 cannot do the same. I wish more of the people on these forums actually knew how memory architecture in these devices worked so they would shut up about how it is impossible. It is ABSOLUTELY possible, whether the R4 team ever get around to doing it is another question.

"Compatibility with 2 gigabyte and larger SD cards has been poor, due to the SD/MMC protocol's using a 32-bit address field denominated in bytes. The SDHC standard addresses this limitation by using 32-bit block addresses instead. Both SD and SDHC are traditionally accessed as 512-byte blocks on 512-byte boundaries, so the change to host software or firmware is minor but required. Before SDHC was standardized, various manufacturers "extended" the SD control block fields for their 2 GB and 4 GB cards in different ways. Those cards are incompatible with many SD and some SDHC devices, as they conform to neither standard. All SDHC readers work with standard SD cards.[8]

Many older devices will not accept the 2 GB size even though it is in the revised standard. The following statement is from the SD association specification:

"To make 2 GByte card, the Maximum Block Length (READ_BL_LEN=WRITE_BL_LEN) shall be set to 1024 bytes. However, the Block Length, set by CMD16, shall be up to 512 bytes to keep consistency with 512 bytes Maximum Block Length cards (Less than and equal 2 Gbyte cards)."[9]

Since all cards up to and including the 1 GB card use a fixed 512 block size, some device drivers do not handle the larger block size and will not even recognize the 2 GB card. For example, the SanDisk web site shows examples of devices such as the iPAQ 1910 that will support only 1 GB cards and the Epson Photo RX300 Technical support says they support only 1 GB cards in the SD slot. Users of many early card readers have found that they also support only cards up to 1 GB."

I am not disappointed in that they didn't add SDHC support. It's a shame that they didn't add Wii Connectivity, but that isn't a real problem too. But why did they wait so long fixing this?

 

[dexmix]

OMG! I'm gonna sell my R4 because it runs every game without patching or fixes!

seriously! go get a fricken Cyclo DS Evo! I'll take all your R4s off your hands for free!

but honestly i'm happy with this patch. no more ARM7 patching.

 

[leetdude_007]

I was relieved that R4 development is still alive. But for how long??

duh duh dum duhm!

 

[mikagami]

Hmm, remember when the Japanese PH came out? Who was the first team to release a fix for it? Oh right, it was the R4 team.

You still have a good team here. So what if they didn't add Wii/SDHC support? Do any of you actually play Pokémon Battle Revolution? If so, that's your fault, not the R4 team's...

Great post, congratulations on your contribution to the GBAtemp community, enjoy your stay!

I am happy they are still working on the FW ... not like the wiid team that stopped.

I hope the pokemon wii stuff gets done before pokemon comes out in europe.

 

[moozxy]

Well that was a big let down. Meh, only complaint I have is why the heck did it take that long, and all they did was just fix one thing. I would complain about no PBR gap, but I have a actual PKMN game so I could care less.

First thing I thought...
