Hacking [Request] R4 Gold Pro backup.bin (r4i-gold.com)

[Jack_27]

I somehow bricked my R4 Gold Pro (r4i-gold.com) trying to run YSMenu and I heard restoring it’s flash with a backup.bin (dump) would fix it.

It’s quite an old flashcart but I’d rather fix it instead of buying a new one.
Does anyone have a flashrom / backup.bin they could send me?

Damn, I really don’t wanna shell out $30 for a new cart. Are there any cheaper options?

Not for a proper flashcart there isn't a cheaper option

I have one of these and they're pretty good ($8)

Not as good as what shadow suggests but it's a suitable improvement over what you have.

Thanks, but newegg doesn’t ship to my country. Do you happen to know of any trusted R4 resellers that ship globally? I’m not that aware of which sites I should trust or not

There you go. Little bit higher but they ship to AU.

Btw what kind of kernel would it run on? My bricked R4 ran on some sort of Wood or Acekard kernel and it was pretty good
