hello,
Sorry but I know there are a lot of threads as far as which card to get. After reading a good portion of them they go back and forth between R4i (gold, delux, rts, etc) and acerkart and talking about timebomb issues.

All I'm looking at doing is getting a cart that allows to play nes, snes, gba games and possibly 3ds games.


Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.

first off this should be in the 3ds section considering you are also asking for 3ds games. Are you gonna use this cart on a ds or a 3ds? it changes a lot of things.

Just go the custom firmware route, that'll get you just about everything you want (except SNES) and then just get an R4i Gold for DS games.

Isn't that no longer in production? Also, the SNES emulation wasn't too great last I heard.

yeah not the ds two but the super card ds two. Cfw route will get you the games with all emulation including snes. If you want cfw get the r4i gold rts and follow this https://3ds.guide/

ok, thanks looking at the R4 gold RTS. is there any benefit to getting the dual core version?
The real benefit is that you can use ntrboot with that cart so it's a neat package because of the playable ds games and you can hack you're 3ds with it

there is 1 million different models of the r4. They are literally clones of clones of clones of clones

This is the model you get. NO EXCEPTIONS

    The snack that smiles back, Ballsack!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
