3.0 is safe but buggy, avoid 3.1 or 3.2 they are the brick firmwares, I suggest only using 3.0 if a game you want to play doesn't work on 2.0/3.3b

I may have to stick with 2.0 for the time being as there's a lot of conflicting information. take this from the r4i site:
Deluxe Edition firmware 3.3b is released ! (2014-01-10)

change log:
1. Fixed the saving issue caused by V3.2
2. Fixed the breaking card issue caused by V3.2
3. Increase the stability

Attention: Please don't use the firmware V3.0~V3.3 at the moment, which might cause a potential "blue screen" risk, we are still working on a solution for this critical issue, will fix it in the coming firmware V4.0(with mutiROM feature).

Has anyone emailed them recently to see if there is any active development going on or do we just assume that has halted?

3.0 was based on gateway b1 which had no brick code, the clone team just panicked and ran back to 3.3b after all the bricks which is really gateway 1.2. Nobody is forcing you to use it but I think most people with r4/3dslink are using 3.0

It was only 3.1 and 3.2 which where based on gateway b2

Isn't 2.0 based on gateway 1.2? therefore 3.3 is the same with emunand functionality - which means I can play newer games, right?

No one is safe unless they update the new version because it is a clone from gateway 3ds.

to confirm, the only way to be safe is to update to the new version 3.3?

Also, is there a compatibility list? does the r4i 3ds gold deluxe play pro layton vs phoenix wright?

I don't think it would work in 3.3b, but it might work in 3.0.......just do not use 3.1 or 3.2

I use 3.0 for more than 2 months straight , no save problem and only exploit load freeze problems that don't happen anymore either because I don't turn my 3ds off ever , so 0 problems for me right now

3.0 caused the least problems when I used it last. More games work with 3.0. I believe it is a dead project though so no updates are coming. No bricking.
