I have a flashcart that is nowhere near original. It is a r4i gold 3ds from r4i-gold.eu. I have been trying to update it but I'm always told there is an 'unknown chip'. Has anybody ever used one of these because I would love not to buy another one.
Also does anybody know about romachine?

Thanks for your speedy replies guys, I was afraid I would get that answer. Oh well, to ordering online I go.

Spread the word that nobody should buy R4 cards.

Having a gazillion different R4 cards should ring a bell to someone that's not the real deal anymore...

Anyway as some people suggested.
Burn it and get either an Acekard or a Supercard DSTwo

If you live by a lake, you can use it as a fancy skipping stone!

But seriously, toss it and get a new flash cart. It's not worth the headache, to you, and especially to those who are to inevitably help you in the future.

The WoodR4 cards aren't bad!

OT:
WoodR4 isn't bad indeed.
But for "noobies" it's not recommended.
1 thing doesn't work and they spam it like there's no tomorrow.

Imho they should jack up the prices of R4 cards to 70 quid.
It'll save a lot of headaches and annoyances of others from people asking the same question over and over and over again.

The thing is the AK2i and (proper) R4i Gold are in the same category as far as support goes. The people behind the cart itself make the firmware/bootloader updates, while the game compatibility updates are made by a separate group or person (contactable on the forums at times).
But the R4i Gold has updates within 24 hours- The Acekard needs more than one week.
