Need to buy a better flashcard because yours has been blocked?
Links to shops i would trust or I have personally used
Fast updates and low cost you want a R4i Gold by R4ids.cn team
zhuzhuchina.com R4ids.cn R4i Gold
nds-card.com R4ids.cn R4i Gold
Super Fast Lightning updates, costs more but worth it, Supercard DSTwo
zhuzhuchina.com Supercard DSTwo
nds-card.com Supercard DSTwo
FYI:
clicking on this link: “(4.4.0-10) Supercard DSOnei & Mini (supercard.sc) – Update to support DSi 1.4.5”
led to this….
“This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?”…. broken link?
Fixed the link now
please update entry for (4.4.0-10) R4i-SDHC 3DS (r4i-sdhc.com)
Is not working on 4.5, 0-10 (no firmware updates since before Dec 2012)
There are now 2 replacement cards, ‘3DS V4.5’ and ‘3DS RTS’
this makes no sense
it is in the Blocked List
(4.4.0-10) R4i-SDHC 3DS (r4i-sdhc.com)
as you prove, the last version it was working on was 4.4.0-10
and as the Working List States
(4.5.0-10) R4i-SDHC 3DS 4.5 (r4i-sdhc.com)
you see it says 4.5.0-10 at the start because it is working on the latest update
i have added the RTS card now tho
OK that is good.
Please add to the Blocked List
(4.4.0-10) R4i-SDHC V1.4x (DSi 1.4.4) (r4i-sdhc.com)
it is already on the list
(4.4.0-10) R4i-SDHC 3DS (r4i-sdhc.com)
zhuzhuchina.com
does not work anymore
site working fine
pong, can u recommend me
should i buy
new r4i sdhc RTS card or R4i Gold Plus (r4ids.com) card
price wise, they have same price tag, on my known store
but not sure, which will have more lifetime
Neither of those card
R4ids.cn R4i Gold is the card you want if you want to keep the cost down and working for a while longer
i just check the website, they got new card that support RTS
R4i Gold RTS
should i choose that one ?
btw , where can i get that newcard they releasing ?
there new card is only just out
but one website i found it on is one i trust
http://nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=476
you have to be careful if planning to shop around as other cards use the same name but the one i linked is the official one from r4ids.cn
which is the one you want
So i got wood 1.56 and i downloaded the 4.5.0-10 update.
i have : (4.5.0-10) R4iGold 3DS (r4ids.cn) -(Revision 9, A & C Only) – 4.5.0-10 update + DSi 1.4.5
It is not working at all…
It keep saying Fail, i don’t know what to try next.
try the other .nds file included with the update files
ive not then double check the revision of your card
m3ds real working?
M3i Zero (GMP-Z003) is the only card that team produce that works on the 3DS
m3ds real is a DSLite/DSPhat only flashcard, DSi & 3DS do not have the Slot 2
http://nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=149
is this one a good choice ? Wiil it work on latest 3ds update ? 🙂
yes that one is a good choice and will work on 4.5.0-10 (which is the latest)
may i suggest getting this one tho
http://nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=476
it is made by the same people and costs the same but is there newer card that also has Real Time Saving feature
(always best to get the teams latest card)
Hey Pong, is there a card that does both 3DS and DS roms? I only nee 3DS cards.
no flashcards can play 3DS roms
all flashcards only run DS roms
are every r4 beside r4ds.cn and r4dsn.com clone ?
still didnt understand difference between original r4 and fake r4
well a Fake/Clone is basically where someone basically clones the hardware and makes there own software for a card, normally using less reliable parts
majority of cards are clones/fakes of the original with a few changes, Supercard, R4ids.cn/R4ids.com, M3, R4, Acekard are teams that created the originals but some have since gone bust or just decided to not produce newer cards, all the other cards are clones of one of them with exception of the DSTwo from Supercard as they are expensive to make and clone and with card creators trying to save on cost its not viable for them.
Can you recommend a guide for a newbie to flashcards? I was planning on getting this one; http://nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=476 for my 3DSXL but I’m not really sure what I’m doing. Thanks!
There isnt really a guide for a newbie, but its quite simple. once you have a flashcard there are 2 key things that you want to check,
1: the Kernel, this is the Menu of the Flashcard and Also controls game compatibility and need to be on the MicroSD at all times.
2: Firmware. Firmware is what allows the flashcard to run on updates consoles, when a console has an update it blocks majority if not all card, you want to make sure the firmware of the flashcard is compatible before you update to console, the update file is run like a NDS backed up game and once has been run and installed you can update your console.
the quality of the flashcard is normally rated on how quick the developers get the update out to its customers on its website,Supercard DSTwo and R4ids.cn/R4idsn.com rated the best because this is normally under 24 of a console update being released
Is it true that the DSTwo will brick your 3DS because it has its own CPU?
your joking me right? of course it cannot brick the 3DS, nothing can brick the 3DS, it only runs in DS Mode, cannot touch any of the 3DS features
3DS will bricked if u playing with sys update
like updating then turn off 3DS in middle of it
beside that, nothing will brick 3DS like pong says
Is there any danger then just as long as I don’t use it when it isn’t updated?
there is never any danger, if the DSTwo isnt updated it just wont work on the 3DS till it is
Firmware 5.0.0-11U. Brace youselves.
well the good cards remain unblocked, many of the other most likely now will no longer work
r4itt new sticker, it is blocked
thanks for letting me know
So is there a difference between R4Infinity Dual Core and R4Infinity Dual Core 2013? I should wait for a patch then?
yes there is a difference, the 2013 is a new one the team is releasing
there was no word from them if the old card is going to receive an update
I hope they do update it, I kinda don’t want to buy another flashcard..
Really weird that this update (r4i3d (r4i3d.com)) it’s the same firmware update as the r4isdhc dual core (sticker “new”) card from months ago, december 2012 IIRC. What a mess with those r4 clones.
Yes, it is, and i updated mine with that and it doesn’t run anymore after the 3DS update. Thanks for the false update, Pong. 😦
sorry, but i have to go by what is on there site, i cannot bash a website/product unless i have heard results of a test. will mark it as not working now but saddly it is down to the manufacturer and what they state i have to go by
Pingback: 3DS 5.1.0-11 Released | Pongs Updates
you really need to fix the info about R4iGold 3DS (r4ids.cn), due to the fact i have a rev c card updated to the max and it does not work on system 4.5.0-10 or higher and yes i did post info about when i got it
my information is correct, if your card cannot update to 4.5.0-10 then it is in the blocked list due to the metroid bug, i would check where you purchased it from due to this was a hardware flaw with the card and it may be possible to get a non bugged card, zhuzhuchina offered a service to do just this
http://www.realhotstuff2.com/R4i-Gold-3DS_p_86.html
do you know if this site is reliable? will this work with the latest firmware
no it does not look reliable, i have heard of real hot stuff but not real hot stuff 2
r4i sdhc dual core 2013 from http://www.r4isdhc.com works on 5.1.0-11
My version of the R4 (R4i SDHC-V3DSU) doesn’t work anymore after the update, it’s blocked.
thanks for informing me, i will add the cart information to my blog later as i have not covered this card yet
You’re welcome =)
If it helps, the card was working with the 4.5 update but the dev team mentioned nothing about making the updated kernel for this latest update (Or even the 5.0 update for that matter lol)
Hi Pong, I have a question.. I have a R4i-SDHC 3DS from r4i-sdhc.com, not the v4.5, v5 or RTS, this one is a little old already but it is working on my 3ds (firmware 4-4-0-10) haven’t really used it for a while so I haven’t updated it and I just found out about firmware 5, the newest kernel on their site is V1.67b, it says it is for cards with the 3DS mark on them which mine has, but it seems to be on the blocked list you got here, only the v4.5 and RTS cards seem to be working according to your list, I haven’t updated anything yet cause it’s working right now so if it ain’t broken why fix it, but do you know if I apply this V1.67b update to my card will it work on the new 3DS firmware? Thanks!
Hi, yea the non 4.5, V5 or RTS marked cards wont work on 4.5.0-10 or higher firmware, there was a change in the way nintendo checked carts in 4.5.0-10 so pretty much all flashcards had to have a hardware revision, but some didn’t need it (technical stuff), there was a few cards that passed it due to a Demo cart that didnt have the technical part so some made it to 4.5.0-10 but alot of flashcard creators saw it as a way to sell newer cards anyway. you can update the kernel on your flashcard to 1.67b but pretty sure if you try to update the card it will tell you there is no update available.
Hi Pong, you have a really great site. I used a r4i gold plus on a 3ds. The owner upgraded the 3ds to 5.1.0-11 and now it is not working. The circuit board in the r4i gold plus is R4IDS version 3D.
Ah, I have solved the problem. Firmware v2.0 works with 3ds.
pong the link to the R4imax is not working could you fix it please? 😀
you need to apply the following update to the card by booting it in a console it can work on first

Pingback: 3DS 6.0.0-12E/J 6.0.0-11U | Pongs Updates
The Action Replay DSi (codejunkies.com) was blocked since the last update (6.0.0-11)
ah thanks, will add it to the correct list
The R4i3D works on (5.1.0-11) !!!!
no it doesnt, the update does nothing to the card
it has been tested
Hi all, I have a r4ids.com card just read that it can be updated but I’m not sure what version/revision my card is? how can I find out? many thanks. Also the link to download is not working 😦
no that card does not work. please double check against the list
pong20302000, Datel provided an update for Action Replay DSi that was blocked since the last firmware update (6.0.0-11U/12E). Could you update info, please? It’s available on: http://uk.codejunkies.com/support/article.aspx?article_id=453
Thanks! ^^
Nintendo has just released a new update (again… >__<): 6.1.0-11U. The Action Replay DSi was not affected.
Pingback: 3DS 6.1.0-12E/J 6.1.0-11U | Pongs Updates
R4i Gold Plus and Deluxe are updated
Well, despite the ace3ds site saying it works with the new update, I can’t get it to work on mine. I’m not new to flashcards so pretty sure I’m doing everything right but have emailed them for help, it works fine on my dsi.
please read more carefully
as stated, the one working is a new card
I did read it and mine is supposed to be the new card but still it doesn’t work. I’m waiting on a reply from them.
I tried the ndsill.net update, but it is still failing.
it only works with this card, according to there site

pong, i just bought r4i 3ds gold like you mentioned
im confused with revision things
what best revision for now ?
mine got C
Revision C is there latest, but they have different games used, if you bought it recently off of one of the suggested links then you should have the latest one
R4i Gold plus updates are now available
The R4i3D works in 3ds 6.1.12U
that is a different card to what i had listed as there one that works on the 6.1.0 is a newer card with 20143 printed on it, but it does not work on 6.2.0 but have still added it to this list
The Action Replay DSi was not affected by the update 6.1.0-12
I have a R4iSDHC revolution upgrade card for 3DS/DSi – and my 3DS has 4.4.0-1OU. I cannot get that card working – tried to flash it on DSL as well, but no joy. Any suggestions?
you will most likely need a new card, check the website printed on the card itself, so many use the same names for the card posting the website address would be more useful so can identify the card
Thanks – the website is r4isdhc.com – I managed to install the 2012 kernel and firmware update onto the card using my old NDS Lite console. The card works on it, but not on DSi or my 3DS. And I cannot update to the 2013 kernel or firmware update.
that is because the 2013 is a different version of the cart, you will never get the 2013 working on the 2012 due to a hardware difference.
you will need to buy a new card for it to work on a DSi 1.4.5 or a 3DS 6.2.0
Cheers, that was what I was afraid of. Any suggestions where to buy a card that definitely will work?
on the bottom of the list there is my 2 recomended Sites for NDS Flashcards
with links to the 2 best Flashcards you can buy at the moment for NDS Game backup loading
Cheers, new card ordered. Why cannot I use the current card on DSi version 1.4.3U?
” (6.3.0-12) R4i Gold Plus (r4ids.com) – no update from 6.2.0-X”
This is not correct, the 2.3 update for 1.4.5 also applies for 6.3.x
I do not believe 2.2 will work on 6.3
sorry you dont seem to understand
people that update to 2.3 for 6.2.0 compatibility do not have to update
hence why it states No Update from 6.2.0
How much will I have to wait to know about the R4i-Gold Pro 2013 status? Not even the site says something about the update
How about the r4i3d new?
well last time they released a update it killed the cards and then the next one was just the old one renamed
Can anyone confirm if the new R4i LL New 3DS works on the 6.3.0-12 Update? because i have the same on and there’s a letter on the right side of the board.. its letter B.. i have tried the update on their website and it worked but still they didnt mention if its working on 6.3.0-12.. TIA
if it works on 6.2.0-X it works on 6.3.0-X
hi in the amaze3ds site it says that support 6.2.0-X directly why it says “dead” on the list?
there are different revisions of flashcards, as you see the card on there site advertised as Amaze3ds is v2013, its a new revision, but since no one wanted that card tested (due to it being a clone) the old one just sits in the dead pile.
