R4 SDHC in the wild?

[bandit]

Is this what I think it is? We just received this in the mail. Our affiliate says this is the real deal but I contacted my source at R4 to confirm whether or not it is.

We'll have a full review of it whether or not its real or fake. So be on the lookout.

In the mean time, feel free to discuss what you think. Is it time for R4 to release a SDHC compatible card?

I got mine on Amazon about a month ago and it says SDHC on the cartridge just like in the photo. I only use a 2gb microSD that came with it though. (Which I also use for my Wii as my other SD cards didn't work with the Twilight hack)

does anybody really need more than 8gb on their DS?

I think its pointless, to an extent.

Most people don't need more than 8gb but just 2gb on the regular R4 is not enough we at least need 4gb:p.

thanks for the heads up bandit, please keep us updated with more info on this.:thumbup:

I wish everyone would just get over the R4 thing!!!

Even if it were real and had SDHC so what so does every other card these days but with lots and lots of other features on top, Does this R4 then if real have other " NEW " features i wonder of just the SAME OLD ;-(

Move on people and purchase your self a new card on the block...

Using a G6 ds (M3) currently its got great compatability.

If its an R4 and it takes more than a 2gig card, its fake. Period. End of. The R4 is incapable of reading memory cards over 2 gig. It simply cannot read SDHC cards.
But, if it works, so what?
Fake R4's are on Amazon for £11. Even if they only last a couple of months, then no big deal, and if they last longer, brilliant.
The most reliable and most compatible is the M3 Real which is only £20 however if you shop around, and thats a real bona fida product, so I know where Id rather spend my money.

Meanwhile, I'm still perfectly happy using my regular R4 with a 2GB microSD - I've only used about 2/3 of the card, and that's with some videos and some SCUMM games with CD audio on it, along with the regular emulator stuff and copied GBA games for use with my Ewin.

I could use 4GB... just don't wanna buy the same card over again, sdhc was supposed to be supported from start :(

I accidentally ordered the R4 SDHC and to my dismay, it wouldn't work after I loaded the r4 firmware. But, once I did a little research and found out that it was a fake and etc.. I went to the r4 sdhc website (seperate site) and downloaded their firmware and now my R4 SDHC is working fine! All my micro sd cards work, including my 8 gig one. Which I recklessly fill with games. It's nice to just whip out my DS at any time and find a game to play. :P Plus it's handy for music. I'm cheap, so my DS is my mp3 player too. :P

I bought an R4 SDHC and have been using using 2GB SD SanDisk and 8GB SDHC SanDisk with 1.21 kernel

Issues.

1. Movies and MP3s will only work in the first 2GB
part of the card. You can fill up the next 6GB with
games/homebrew.

2. Kernel can only be read in the first 2 GB of the
card. If you make changes with the theme and
you have already filled up beyond 2GB the theme
will not work. You will get blue background. The
same goes with moonshell theme.

Workaround:

1. Reformat SD card and make sure you copy Music
and Video before 2Gb is filled up.
2. Reformat SD card make changes to kernel or
moonshell before filling up beyond 2GB.
