I don't know why or how people call this one a "clone" since it's 1:1 similar to the original, just made in another factory than where the original team produced it?
you buy coca-cola coming from different factories in the world, that doesn't make the drink any different nor does it give you the right to call french coca-cola "fake", british coca-cola "clone" and american coca-cola "original".
You called them a clone yourself before.

QUOTE(Costello @ Sep 16 2008, 07:51 AM) Other carts that you may call "clones", "fakes" or whatever that use the name of R4 *might* receive an update but it's definitely not the original R4.

On a side note, the original R4 can hardly be found in stores anymore, most R4 that you'll find (realhotstuff, echostore, ...) aren't originals - they're clones. I only know a few places you can buy an original R4 from.

Just because ShopTemp is selling them too doesn't mean you have to change your stance, lol.

While they work as the original and use the same components, there are slight differences in the PCB (font for example) and Shell (step, MicroSD logo). To me that's the textbook definition of a clone, something identical to the original but may have some minor differences from where it was cloned. The most important difference is the original R4 had Team which supported it, the clones don't. If it wasn't for Wood...

2. i did not change my stance, see the quote "I only know a few places you can buy an original R4 from"
3. r4 sdhc, r4i, r4i gold, r4i ultra, etc. etc. those are all crap carts. Call them clones or fake or whatever you want...

I could understand why a female may have male on their profile, but not the other way round.

They could just be sexually confused, transgender, gay or simply seeking attention. I see no other reason why a guy would have female on his profile.

At the end of the day, it's all a matter of perspective.

I just simply believe people can't call the 1:1 clones original R4 carts without redefining the word original. That doesn't mean I think there's anything wrong with them, especially as the original team are no longer producing them.

Your Coca Cola comparison seemed a little off base. It's not that often people on here seem to disagree with you, but in this case....
