Hacking R4i is it good for a Dsi?

[Darkflame.fire]

I just bought a dsi and since my cyclo ds doent work on it (yet!) i heard that there is a flash drive called the R4i so i was wondering if its good any of you guys have any comments?

No .... stay away with anything with R4 in its name. BTW R4is I believe are just clones of AK2is.

i will say buy a product that has the best support!
see which product updates their firmware much often!
you would not want an update only brought to you by every 3 months or never bother to update?

DSi compatible cards..

ak2i using AKAIO would be the best
ezvi .... they still update
DSTTi... since they release the card till now no update
R4i.. not sure
hyper R4i... brought to you by some of the old members and so far is ok but stay away since the firmware is still buggy
itouch2.. if you like itouch

you can wait for
m3 dsi compatible! is coming soon

hyper R4i... brought to you by some of the old members and so far is ok but stay away since the firmware is still buggy

i don't know how much truth there is in the claim that some of the old R4 team members are involved, but it's still another AK2i clone.

bollocks,
yes for r4i
no for hyper r4i, AKAIO doesn't boot on it

nevertheless, we will know how good or sucky this hyper r4i can be

LOL

Buy an AceKard 2i
Awesome version of my favourite card.

Acekard is nice but EZVi is prob better esp when the 2.0 loader is finished its sooooooo fast

ah i read somewhere that it was, seems like that was wrong.. the hyper r4i firmware won't boot on my ak2 either. interesting!

 

[jesse86]

Maybe you could try AK2i & itouch2
since AK2i it keeps updating kernel and it can perfertly work with DSi
itouch2 is M3's first DSi compatible flash card , it may not be the quickest card but it functions in a reliable manner.

i personally love the r4 but not on the dsi..i like ak2i the most and its workin wonders

Dude, why do people insist on buying cloned products? Get an R4i and when you have issues, none of us will help you.

r4i is again an clone choose acekard2i or whatever!

 

[jruschme]

The thing which always gets me is that when people ask about the R4i, I want to say to them: WHICH ONE???!!!

For the OP and those who may not realize, there are at least 6 and, on the surface, they are only distinguishable by their website URL and the order in which the name includes the modifiers "Upgrade", "SDHC" and "Revolution". (Not to mention "Gold", "Super" and "Hyper")

Admittedly, at the hardware level, the problem is probably a bit simpler as several of them are probably just clones of each other and are interchangeable, but that can't be said for all of them.

So, one might recommend the R4i Upgrade Revolution SDHC, but only with the R4i Super SDHC Revolution firmware.

Don't get any kind of R4. If you want a cheap solution then get an iTouch2, but now when you think about it, AK2i costs cheaper in some shops than the iTouch2
