And guess what - there is no guarentee that it is going to either.
HOWEVER
AceKard 2i - Working
EZ Flash Vi - Working
DSTTi - Working
All proven to be working.
People get hung up on the R4 saying all sorts of things, so FACTS
1) the R4 (original) was the first low cost reliable cart, it was a revolution (as the name said) - this cart is the one everyone talked about and for 18months it was the card to have.
However last June time the team disbanded and it was no more - reasons, there has been a lot of speculation about them being sued as this card was being openly sold in Japan - however it is hear say and no one really knows, however they have gone and there will be no more official updates.
2) 13 other invisible teams decided that the excellent name of R4 would sell their cart, so there are now 14 carts all with the name R4 in them, this is a nightmare for noobs buying their cart. Which software to put on, if / when it gets updated. Most are very poor, slow if any updates.
This is why the R4 is loosing its lustre, I would not recommend anyone to buy an R4 unless (as I have often stated) you are 100% sure of what you are getting. Many people buy an R4 from a shop, buy another a few months later and - they need different software - different cards with the same packing.
Hence the R4 is getting a poor reputation, not just on this forum but on others too.
There are already 2 carts calling themselves the R4i, so even if you are told it the R4i works you will not know which one you are getting.
So all in all I would rather spend my hard earned cash on something I KNOW works and in the case of all three of the above have a reliable past reputation, not a stolen reputation from a now obsolete product. No on here was anti R4 when it was in its heyday, but now its obsolete, but things have moved on.
