I'm quite sure you or others can confirm that an 4g SDHC card works with the 1.19 firmware for the R4 clone.
And if you had one, I'm sure that you could confirm that the 1.18 firmware for the real R4 works with 2g standard microSD cards.
I'm also sure that you will discover that the original R4 does not support HC cards, using the 1.18 firmware, if you don't already know that.
I have not run the 1.19 fake R4 firmware on a HC card in a real R4, nor would I recommend it, but I would be interested in that result from someone brave enough to try.
That isn't a fake firmware. It is an unofficial R4 updated firmware which works on the original R4 and maybe even the clone. I have loads of R4's (Original Ones) and I've done my testing. Yes your correct that the Original R4 doesn't support SDHC. Thats because it wasn't supported in the software not in the hardware. Now that an unofficial update has been released it is fully compatible with the original R4. And yes I am aware that the 1.18 does not support SDHC cards. It will show you the 'Loading Screen'. 1.19 solves all them problems. It's not a fake firmware. Just a group of programmers who got the job done quicker than the official team.
I will post a video tutorial soon. Demonstrating this.
This is VERY interesting...
I have dowloaded firmware 1.18 and NOW 1.21 - neither work for me
can u provide a link for this magic 1.19 version pls..

Good to know. Didn't think they would, but good to have it confirmed.

OK my final post on this :
I purchased an R4 III card from an Aussie Auction site - i got it for half of what i paid for my original R4 last year.
I d/l kernel 3.03 as recommended by the seller.(which was updated from 3.02 between when i bid and finally won my auction)
I loaded my 4gb SHDC card full of games.
It WORKS GREAT.
Fake card or not my one works and thats all that matters right?

As many of you will be aware, the production factory of the R4 Revolution was closed down at the end of 2007.
**************************************************************
I bought an R4DS in January 2008
I have just bought an R4DS SDHC and recieved it today.
I have read this thread and many of you seem to be jumping to your own conclusions of FAKE and CLONE hardware and software.
From what I make of the situation is this...
*** The pheonix has arisen from the ashes ***
The closure of the factory has intersected with the launch of the third generation of the R4DS being, the R4DS SDHC from a new production facility.
The R4DS SDHD and the R4DS are not the same, because, the later is not compatible with SD cards of more than 2GB, and are not compatabie with HD cards, as stated on their orignal site.
In summary the R4 system has a new baby for High Density cards.
NOT a Fake or Clone but a NEW generation.
R4DS = max kernel 18
R4DS SDHC = Min kernel 19 (I think mine came with 21)

After my last post I did some more research and came up with this info.
Kernell software
R4 DS
v1.03 Dec 2006
v1.04
r4ds.com, r4ds.net are Dead Sites
R4-II
v1.11 30-7-2007
through to
v1.18 24-4-2008
r4ds.cn Dead email
R4-SDHD
v1.20 19-7-2008
through to
v1.22 1-10-2008
ndslr4.com Live site
R4-III-Upgrade
v3.03 11-9-2008
v3.04 27-9-2008
r4dsl.net Live site
See here for some rumour-mongering.
http://www.r4ds-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1099
This seems to be the source for the rumours...
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=93537
and then the first photo has the property of...
http://www.hacken.cc/bbs/attachments/200...Tbr8u0uulYq.jpg
There is no solid evidence, only rumours and a supposed email that could have come from anyone, anywhere at anytime.
The original R4DS was said to be duplicated and clones were made.
But this is not to say that any new release is dodgy!
If you have one of those that are listed above, then I would say it is probably genuine?
When you study the 3 sites they do make sense, as on-going development continues and kernel up-dates that fix incremental game problems.
Logically SDHD access would be the next step, but I cannot reason the change from R4-SDHD to R4-III-Upgrade.
So I will repeat my conclusion...
If you have one of those that are listed above, then I would say it is probably genuine?

First an appology, woops I wrote SDHD in my last post, this should have been SDHC (High Capacity).
Just to clarify,
R4-I and R4-II both use SD and will not work with SDHC microSD cards.
R4-SDHC and R4-III Upgrade both use SDHC and NOT SD microSD cards.
SD memory cards are low capacity, 2mb and less.
SDHC memory cards are high capacity , 4mb and above.
At this time the latest hardware release is the R4-III and is the one to buy because it supports the latest kernel updates.

hi....just did a google on the same thing and read all the replies listed for your question. After reading and getting wound up did some more checks and you can upgrade a version III card that will work a 4GB card; cannot get the Version II to work yet and think it will not but all you have to do is go to the R4 website..... http://www.ndslr4.com/index-en.htm and use the updated downloads. As I said a bit upset as I have two cards to do for family but on the other hand its fun to have problems.....callmedb

Unfortunately, the original r4 ds will not suport 4gb sdhc unless your lucky enough to have a 4gb sd (not sdhc.) then dont hope it will work.
