Hacking R4i-B9S flashcart: tested and impression

[Yandere-chan]

They need to upload that file soon. It shouldn't take a week just to upload a .firm and the backup.bin :|

It doesn't help them that anytime someone asks them about it, they give a smart reply or ignore entirely.

I have an r4i-sdhc and I won one of their b9s cards as well, I'd be willing to try and use the flasher once it comes out.

Yeah, I won one too. I have it here in my 3DS just waiting for that flasher so I can play my favorite DS games ;~;

Emailed again, waiting..

alright, I bit the bullet and brought one since I got the donations for it, so it should be in my hands within the week and i'll try to give somesort of review about it when I get it.

 

[The Catboy]

Hopefully they get back to me at some point in the future or I will have to buy this cart as well. There are still a lot of questions I have in regards to this cart that are going to require me to be actually using it to answer.

How I feel about the r4-sdhc team right now.

Like seriously, come on, is it that hard to zip 2 files and upload them? :|

I mean, it took like 3 weeks of being harassed just to get this far. But I do agree, this should have been done with the announcement.

They want to make as much money as they can before they release the .firm file. This makes me think that it might be able to flash NTRBoot to regular R4-SDHC carts. There wouldn't be a point in delaying it if it only makes the B9S carts DS game compatible.

It's been over a week now. How long will this take them? .-.
They need to just stop being greedy along with money hungry and just release it already. It's just annoying at this point, I'm honestly ready to give up on them.

Also, it says it would be updated in a few days but, I don't think over a week is a "few days" ._.

Mine took a week to leave China. They claimed it was because of a Holiday that went ended on the 4th but, IDK.

What if the flasher just forces the regular firmware to the flashcarts? Maybe they just used something like al3x_10m's NTRBoot flasher to flash NTRBoot to the cartridge. Since it ceases to function as a normal flashcart after injecting NTRBoot they could've written the flasher to flash the firmware to it anyway. It would be a lot easier since they're the manufacturers of the carts (you currently need a hardware flashing method to recover R4 carts used with al3x_10m's flasher). It would also be another reason for them to put off releasing the flasher. Why would anyone buy a $20 cart if they could make their $5 cart work and recover it to play DS games again? Someone on YouTube claims to have used it to flash NTRBoot to an R4 SDHC cart.

they are probably still working out how to make sure it doesn't work on clones.

Very wierd, it should leave Shenzhen.

I've never had anything shipped from China arrive quickly. It always took forever to actually leave the area it's from. I don't know what shipping option they used either.

Yeah, this is the only way to get cfw for some people.

I'm curious, has anyone that actually won one had it arrive, if so how long did it take and when did you find out you won?
Also what region are you in?

 

[aos10]

Also what region are you in?
