My cousin gave me his old ds(first model) with an R4(i), he told me he bought it from thailand, anyhow after accidentally formatting it and not knowing where I'm supposed to get the kernal, I labored for a whole night til my strength gave out, next morning did it again and found it was this r4i-u.com(r4i ultimate) so I downloaded the latest kernal 1.41 , finally got the r4 to work was happy, but the problem is some games won't work, like the newer games pokemon black/white, golden sun dark dawn, yu gi oh wc 2011 over the nexus, is there anyway for me to be able to play new games? I've heard about ttmenu/ysmenu, followed one such tutorial but the end result was really confusing(not working, don't know why), because the title said R4 and I wonder if that applies to R4I and is this r4(I) that I have a clone or not?
Yes and no. If you go to the website they sell a gold version, which sounds like its the one he has. Post Merge: [time]1311395884[/time] Hey Unfortunately If you want to play the newer games you'll need to buy a better card. there are hundreds of R4i carts very few of which have real support. If you don't need more then 2gigs of space then buy the R4 original its only $4 and with wood R4 it works with all the new games. (http://www.priceangels.com/R4_NDS_MicroSD_Card_Adapter_English_Version_p1152.html) or if you plan on getting a DSi or 3DS or want more than 2gigs, buy one of the following R4i Gold 3DS http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.Newest_R4i_Gold_Revolution_for_3DS_DSi_DSL_NDS-36776 R4 3D http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.R4_3D_Upgrade_Revolution_for_3DS_DSI_DSL_NDS-36808 AceKard 2i http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.Acekard_2i_AK2i_for_DS_DSi_DSL_NDSi-36778 Supercard DS Two http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.Supercard_DS_Two_Card_for_Nintendo_DS_DS_Lite_DSi_XL_DSi-29941 those are all the most reliable. and all work on 3DS and DSi good luck!
