[dualscreenman]

Omg tEhyt not has BLuRAY supP0rtz!1!!!!!1!!11!111eleventyone!1!!j tiHs pahils!!!1

Whatever, I'll just go back to playing some games.

This card was already great before the update, and now it is even better.

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.

If you're going to copy and paste wholesale from wikipedia at least say so, link to the article or put quotes around it rather than making it look like it's your own post. Or at least remove the cite links so it's not so obvious [1]

wait a minute, for this update:

download play support not fixed?

come on....... it's been shown many times... they shouldn't say it is fixed if it doesn't work lol. I'll try it out tho, 1.08 for m3 simply the same thing? I guess I gotta get crackin'.. I have an r4 and an m3.

Btw anyone besides me notice that if you click the link to the downloads section for the M3 simply 1.08 provided in this thread, that the photo of the device has the new case? I thought they discontinued this product.

 

[Joey Ravn]

Bah, a bit on the poor side... but... meh. I can't say I was waiting for an update, so everything's staying just as before.

arrogant fanboys...

Says the one that came to an R4 thread to brag about her super-duper CycloDS. Take a look at the mirror before flaming.

Haha, that made me laugh.

Well done, you obviously have more time on your hands than I do. What is probably holding back the R4 team is the same as when M3 incorporated SDHC support for their Slot-2 cards, and were only able to support multimedia and not games because of the new problems thrown up by access times and file systems. The ability to actually access SDHC cards may indeed need just a minor tweak, but that doesn't mean they'll be able to run nds games straight away.

 

[Fat D]

no PBR = no get. I can ARM7-fix the roms myself if necessary.

 

[GH0ST]

I don't think that SDHC support is possible as a "minor fix". It is hardware related.

 

[NDSkid]

im gonna sell my r4 and throw in the DS for free because of all the crap games that are being released for it.

for sale.
lightly used R4 card in a white spring-loaded shell.
i will throw in an onyx DS lite for free.
$150 firm.

 

[sidneyyoung]

LOL.. so you poor R$ chumps finally got the 'Arm 7' fix months after everbody else.

I wouldn't touch R$ with a barge pole, as this clearly shows the 'present' devs are incompetent or just don't care.

 

[Prime]

R$

What?...

 

[MadBob]

R$


What?...

It's the American version

 

[TrolleyDave]

I don't see what everyone is complaining about. The R4 had new firmware releases every month for ages. Then first time they don't release one after a month everyone starts complaining that the R4 team is dead, then when they release a new firmware revision that gives 100% game support everyone moans they didn't get a little bit extra. The only thing the R4 team have ever really guaranteed is 100% clean rom support, and we've got it now.

If you're unhappy with your R4 sell it on and get something else, you'll probably find that as most of the other flashcarts reach a year old the company stops releasing a flurry of firmware revisions as well.

BTW, for all the people complaining about PBR Wii connectivity, if the game and it's connectivity is that important to you why haven't you actually gone out and BOUGHT the cartridge?

Hopefully we will get a 1.13!!!

*sigh* So much hate - over the Internet. All those who call R4 owners 'fanboys' or laugh at us because we've got a 'crappy' update, please, do us all a favour: go play with your flashcarts.

PS: I'm trying to be gentle, eh?

 

[ackers]

Calm downs ppls! They only made this minor update to show they are still around. I'm sure support will improve when R4 SDHC comes out.

And I'd like to quote myself:

r4 update will be up this month guaranteed. now stop whining!

EDIT: I can't believe some of you were expecting SDHC to be added in this update

- it ain't gonna happen with the current R4's.

 

[Nio]

Pokemon Revolution has a Rating of 5.5 at Gamespot are you seriously flaming R4 because they dont support that shit???
Maybe they do that on purpos!
Can anybody explain that wii connectifity to me at all? what is it?
Do I need this to upload my pokemon from diamond perl to wii or to download some minigames?
does m3 real support this??

 

[hollabackitsobi]

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

Don't love the R4 so much that you completely shut your eyes to the obvious. No one's complaining that they fixed the issues with the game, they're complaining because of the fact that this problem has been around for well over two months now, and it took them TWO WHOLE months just to release a firmware to fix one game, while the Cyclo didn't even have problems with it to begin with, and TeamCyclops has released about 2 official firmwares and 5-6 including betas.

Having to wait for so long for a fix without them even adding a new feature or ANYTHING is just retarded. I'm happy I sold my R4 and have a CycloDS on the way, although TeamCyclops could definitely work on speeding up their damn production.
