Hi All. I am a Noob. I just bought my first handheld system and it is the blue 3DS XL. I heard about the R4 cards and did some research and found that the R4i Gold is the card that I want. I live in New York so I was wondering what websites you guys used to buy your cards. I don't want to be scammed/hacked/etc. I am planning on buying the micro sdhc 32gb card separately. Is it easy to format the micro sdhc after I purchase it? What steps do I need to take? As I stated, I am a NOOB when it comes to the 3DS and anything related to it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
got R4i gold 3ds from http://shoptemp.net/shop/oz3ds.html
it is also the official recommender. yes, it is very easy to format the SDcard

Maybe as you knew,3ds and dsi firmware has been updated to the latest version,but r4i gold 3ds from r4ids.cn can directly work on it, far as i knew,now many store provides pre-flashed card,so you dont need any updating ,such as gamekool.com ,bought from them and tested it,works perfecttly.

Alright, so far I have gona to r4i-sdhc.com and download the latest version 1.65b English. I unzipped the files onto my FAT32 formatted micro sdhc card. I inserted the micro sdhc into my r4i gold 3ds card and inserted it into my 3ds xl. It freezes on the "www.r4ids.cn starting" screen. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. Also, can I use roms that I use for PC emulation when i use emulation on my 3DS?
Why the hell would you download files from r4i-sdhc.com when your cart is from r4ids.cn? Delete everything from your microSD and download the files from r4ids.cn
Yes, you can use the same roms you use on the PC.
And I doubt gameboy advance emulation will work on your cart. You'll need to get a Supercard DSTWO for that.

@ErwinL ok I did everything you said above and it worked. Just in case anyone else reads this thread in the future, you need to create a folder at the root of your SD card that is called "SNES" if you want to play roms. Just put the roms in that folder and the emulator will read it.
I'm thinking about creating a guide for noobs like me. A step by step, fool's guide to getting your R4i gold card running.
Any ideas on where to create/put it?

you need to apply a Firmware update
www.r4igold.cn/downloade/R4iMario_3DS45_NDSi145_Patch.rar
download and extract and run like you would a .nds game
it will give you instructions, after it is all done you should be able to have it run on 4.5.0-10
you will need a console that the card is not blocked on for it to work

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
