Hacking R4i-B9S flashcart: tested and impression

[Yandere-chan]

So it's officially confirmed that it only installs B9S? No NDS games? No kernel? Just B9S?

It can be reverted for normal DS ROM/homebrew usage.

woodr4>>>ysmenu imo

I don’t disagree (although personally akAIO>Wood R4>ysmenu) but I am just saying that it’s an opinion.

It can be reverted for normal DS ROM/homebrew usage.

You are literally the second person to quote an old post of mine, please scroll up a little bit (not trying to be rude, just saying)

Mines coming today, will update later.

It does play NDS games now, check their website. You can switch back and forth between ntrboothax and normal flashcart functionality:

Huh, neat.

 

[Zaphod77]

so they released the flasher after all. go figure.

which makes the higher price on the bs9 version basically a "i don't have a working magnet" tax (chuckle)

and it was always the ones WITHOUT the - in the name that had the time bombs.

r4i-sdhc=no time bomb
r4isdhc=time bomb. these are clones of the former.

 

[Yandere-chan]

Yes! It's finally here! At long last! Time to get stuck into this thing.

 

[Zaphod77]

well almost... so they put a donwload link and don't have the file yet.. sigh.. well i guess any day now..

 

[Yandere-chan]

Eeee the card is so shiny!

This thing is amazing! First try I got the combo right and now installing CFW!

Once possible will someone with a spare SDHC card or thr right hardware to restore cards see if the flasher will work with non-B9S SDHC and SDHC dated/dual core cards to make them NTRBoot compatible? I don't have the hardware to test it.

So ... all they had to do to silence the critics was drop a page-reload link and a few arm9 text screenshots.

Pretty efficient way to handle PR.

 

[Zaphod77]

the flasher is for flashable r4i-sdhc.com cards, and seems to directly identify them.

it probably will NOT work for r4isdhc.com cards.

I have no idea why people are talking as if this actually exists. Looks like they just edited strings in ntrboot_flasher or something and took screenshots.

This is not something that should take days to release. They are obviously capable of flashing arbitrary data to these cards already given the pre-flashed b9s. Don't understand the holdup unless they are trying to pull a fast one.

This thing is about 2x expensive as other flashable R4i clones that you can use for B9S install and doesn't even play DS games......... and it advertises 128GB microSD dude WHY? All you put on it is a few MB worth of install and format tools....!! WOOHOO they included the magnet! O.=.o;;;;;;

• All 3DS games are free to play
• Work on New 3DS, Old 3DS, New 2DS and Old 2DS in all regions
• Support popular Luma 3DS Custom Firmware

AAAAAAAAAA!

Over half these features are just shit you do on your console without any active implication of the flashcart. Sooooooo if you're a manufacturer who already has the tech and is putting flashcarts on the market, you redesign a shittier model that is utterly crippled and can only do one thing and costs double...... just whyyyyyyy?

Kill me!

 

[some1ne]

Too bad their flasher can't be used to flash NTRBoot to other R4i SDHC cards.

Really?

What's the difference between akAIO and wood?

 

[RedBlueGreen]

Really?

I was just assuming they wouldn't make it compatible. But since it's a .firm who knows.

 

[Pacheko17]

R4i-B9S? More like R4i-BS.

ummmmm, not sure if you are talking for real or you didn't read the update.

The community always finds nice ways to repurpose stuff. But if you're a manufacturer and this is what you intend to give the consumers the ability to (not)do, this is just beyond moronic.

It would be interesting to dump the card and see if they simply used https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s0s42cypvpqv18r/AADy_bSUOFdfF3dSPxFq3hhla?dl=0.

I wonder if B9S works on older regular nds flashcards from this site.
