Opinion on 2 R4 cards (Help)

Post by C.Wuppertal »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello,

New to the world of R4 cards and the like, I prefer to ask the opinion of experienced people before jumping into one purchase or another.

I own a 3DS XL version 7.1.0.14E and I'm thinking about going for the R4i gold 3DS or an R4i SDHC 3DS RTS card (buying on ********?) Moderation: no linker vendor sites. Thanks

The description says these 2 cards are now compatible with the DS version I have, however, I've seen in recent posts that R4s only work on versions equal to or lower than version 4.(…)

What do you think of these two cards?

Thanks :D

hi,

to start, look at your message, I edited/moderated it.


You need to distinguish two types of linkers. Linkers for DS games and linkers for 3DS games. The ones you mention are DS game linkers only and for now, all 3DS game linkers are only compatible with 3DS/3DS xl with a firmware of 4.x or lower, which isn't your case if I understand correctly :?


otherwise your 2 linkers are among the linkers that update quickly when needed. My preference goes to the R4I GOLD 3DS RTS

Hi!

Thanks for your message! I did quite a bit of research indeed on the different cards, and I understood this difference between the cards that only accept DS games and the two new cards that accept 3DS games (but which are too complicated for me for now and "too" expensive).

If I understood correctly, will the R4I GOLD 3DS RTS card work with my 3DS's version?
And what's the difference between this card and the two others I mentioned?

Thanks :)


(After some research, I realize the R4I GOLD 3DS RTS doesn't match my 3DS's version)

wrong: R4i Gold 3DS supporting the newest 3DS V7.1.0-14 directly! (2013-12-20)

R4I GOLD 3DS RTS is the first linker you mentioned, the name is just more precise. RTS or dual core.

this linker has the particularity of using the wood os which was created and is updated by fans for more compatibility with games

Alright! I did misread indeed.
And what does this one have more than the R4i SDHC 3DS RTS? I can't find a comparison of these two cards online… Maybe you could enlighten me on this ;)

I already answered your question: this linker has the particularity of using the (operating system) "Wood" which was created and is updated by fans for more compatibility with games. But in practice it's a fairly minor difference.

Ok alright! So in the end the difference between the two isn't that obvious.
Thanks for your answers! I'll go with the one you recommended :)
