Here's a list of some R4 cards & their clones. The R4i is unknown for me which one is the real one. Original: - R4 Spoiler: Fake/Clone R4 - R4 Pro - MARS - R4 Ultra - R4 SDHC - R4 SDHC Upgrade - R4 Upgrade - Super R4 - R4 Advance (maybe GBA) - R4 Deluxe - R4 III - R4 New - N5 - R4-III Upgrade Spoiler: Fake/Clone R4i - R4i Gold - R4i SDHC - R4i Christmas Edition - R4i SDHC Upgrade (red box) - R4i - R4i Neo Evolution - R4-IIIi - R4-IIIi Upgrade There are countless clones, so it can take a while for this list to be complete.
All flash carts come from trying to emulate what the R4 does, and then they built upon that. So this means all flash carts are clones of the R4.
But then the original R4 team could surely sure every flashcard creator and claim they stole their software to make their own version.
Nah, no proof. But you know that's how it was done, since R4 was the first flash cart and it was the best fucking flash cart for the longest time.
First, please refrain yourself from swearing. Second, the R4 hasn't been the best for a long time, nowadays it's only really good for eight year old kids who want free games. Things like the Acekard are not clones, they are completely different.
The R4 team stoped the activities because of the countless clones that where being created wit the ''R4'' name on it!
clones either copied the R4 or use the R4 name to sell their own (usually inferior) flashcarts. Cyclods, edge, acecard, dstt were developed completely independently.
Then how do you explain how they came out and were most similar to R4? Post Merge: [time]1269638842[/time] When R4 was about the only good flash cart out, would you have called it lame or fucking awesome?
Dude, seriously? The Acekard is nothing like the R4 Most flashcards aren't. If they were the only option then yes, I would call it awesome, but they aren't and quite frankly in a few months they'll be as good for your ds as throwing a brick at it is. Edit: seriously, please stop the swearing.
....Seriously, I shall stop swearing on this forum when I can play the games I fucking want. (Sonic and Sega all star racing, Jam Sessions 2, and WarioWare DIY)
