          KIDS - LEAVE ME ALONE !!! 25/01/2011 ( FEATURED REVIEW ) ';
    By peter
    These cards are awsome yet annoying.
    firstly awsome in the fact that they are a well made , well designed bit of kit and do exactly what they say on the tin .
    Secondly - annoying in the fact the kids won't leave me alone - 'can you put this on it can you put that on it for me'
    word of advise - get a big memory card if you like a bit of peace .
    saying that , its better than going into town every time they want something different.
    All in all - well worth the money with great support from Xpertron , just ordered my second one for my little girls dsi xl

    By Chappell
    I am very please with this. Scervice was okay ordered it on Tuesday evening got it on Saturday. Works on my Dsi XL perfectly. .. The reason i only put 4 stars is because
    1. I was annoyed coz i bought the product like the day befor it was on sale for like £3 less. but it is a good price.
    2.I asked 2 questinos on the 'discussions' part of this product and it took long to answer it. By the time i had an answer i had already ordered it. But definatley a good product and if you have a Dsi XL then you should consider this.

    Ordered and recieved items within 2 days. Just as described - wasn't too sure how to set up the car but Xpertron have kindly put a box on left hand side of page which is entitiled "set up guide and trobleshooting" which takes you through the process step by step and even includes the direct download link for software. I have been most impressed with the service throughout and with the updates and will certainly be recommending this site to friends! Many thanks!

    Absolute rubbish. shows all the apps but none of them will load as apparently not compatible. they all work fine on dstti and R4i sdhc.

    By roderick
    I've placed two orders now for a total of 4 R4i Gold cards. The first orders was 3 cards which came with "www.r4i-gold.com" on the front. I couldnt find the firmware (seems there are many different varities of r4i gold). I raised a ticket late at night without much hope by start of business the following day I had myself an answer, installed and everything worked.

    The second order, 1 card, came with "www.r4i-gold.eu". Same firmware didn't work on this one but, again, raised a ticket and I quickly got the answer i was looking for.

    So, if you want to get a card and help with figuring out what firmware you need then these guys are the ticket. It's one thing to get good product & prices, it's another to also get excellent support.

    The reason I haven't given a full 5 stars is because some of my support calls could have easily been answered with a good quality FAQ which should you how to identify a card, and link you to a firmware download!

    Hamilton: Firmware update 31/05/2011
    I have updated the firmware of my card using the file fwup142c.nds from the www.r41-gold.eu website, and installed R4i English V1.48b. When updating the firmware I waited until it reported that it was completed 100% and that I must restart my DSi XL to continue. I did this and then did a System Update of the NDS. It’s now at Ver 1.4.2E. Now, on selecting the card Start icon, the screen then freezes at Loading ... www.r4i-gold.www. I realise that neither of these updates are available directly yet from your website but wonder if either you have any idea how I can recover from this update, or whether any other users are experiencing the same problem (suggesting that I really did follow the instructions correctly).
      Dear Hamilton,

      We have tested several r4i-gold cards and have the same result. We are contacting the R4i gold team (r4i-gold.eu) right now concerning the problems and awaiting their response.

    Dow: Upgrading Firmware 27/03/2011
    I've just bought a R4i Gold Card v 1.4.1. I can see the card on my DSi but I can't play any games. It was fine when I had a v1.4 R4i gold card (now lost). Does this mean I have to update the firmware on my Dsi? If so how do I do this and is it ok to do this? Thanks Rob
      Dear Dow,

      Could you please how you setup the R4i Gold card? Which driver version you used? Please refer the setup guide here to reinstall the card with the latest driver 1.46b.

    Fullalove: R4i Gold card 11/03/2011
    The problem relating to compatability issues - your reply is 'It will probably be resolved when they update it' you also say, if I want to know more then I should contact them directly. Fact is, they can't be contacted, the emails are returned undelivered. If they can't update since December 2010, why are you still selling their cards? Why not remove them from your stock list till they get their act together, show some support for the customers who support you. Regards
      Dear Fullalove,

      Thank you for your advise and we have been pressing the R4i Gold EU team for update. Please kindly check their website again for the latest updates.

    Whitley: R4i Gold + 4gb 10/02/2011
    why am i getting a message saying that the card is fake please return to retailer, i have emailed u but u seem to be ignoring me!!!!
      Dear Whitley,

       

      Thank you for your purchase and your message.In order to solve the problem as soon as possible, could you tell us how you setup the card? Which driver version did you use? 
       
      If your DS is showing "Fake card, please return to retailer", it is due to kernel/driver problem. Once the correct kernel/driver is copied onto the microSD, the issue will be resolved immediately.
       
      For R4i Gold 
      The driver and the complete setup guide are available from our website here.

    Yang: games compatibility 03/02/2011
    Hello I have installed the 1.44b on a DS. I hSome of the gave copied the games onto the root directory. Interestingly, some of the games have their icon recognised and displayed, and can be played. However, there are some games where their icons are not show but have R4i in the icon, and these games cannot be played and hangs when it is run. Is this a games compatibility issue?
      Dear Yang,

      According to your description, it's likely a games compatibility issue. 

      Please wait for the new driver release or contact the manufacturer www.r4i-gold.eu to concern the problem.

    Hi, We have an nds lite (NOT a DSi as the build quality never made us switch) and m3zero card that cannot keep up with the NDS roms never working anymore. Is there a better card out there that plays most nds roms , and DIVX would be cool too to play downloaded films? thanks

    Stockwell: R4i Gold 1.4.1 and older Firmwares 20/01/2011
    Probably a silly question but wanted to be sure. Will latest card work with DSI with older firmware (1.3e) or should I upgrade firmware on console before using card?
      Dear Stockwell,

      R4i Gold card is compatible with DSi firmware 1.4.1 or below. 

      That means you need not to upgrade the firmware on console before using the card.

    Carradice: What R4 card is compatible for a DSi? 29/12/2010
    My daughter is wanting to buy a R4 card for her Nintendo DSi - can you recommend the best card for this and is there anything else that needs to be bought as well as the card? I am a techno-phobe so please can you explain clearly so I can understand. Thanks. Lisa.
      Dear Carradice,

      The best card for Nintendo DSi is DSTWO. 

      We recommend r4i gold and r4i sdhc which are compatible with latest DSi XL 1.4.1 or below. They are reliable and economical too. 

      Though the card will not come with the software installed on it, we will provide step-by-step setup guide and necessary software download links.

    Murphy: Which Card 29/12/2010
    Hi Which card would you recommend for DSI XL that has been updated from 1.4E to 1.4.1E. I have purchased the Acekard 2i but some games dont load and show a white or black screen. I have tried the same games on the same DS using R4i gold and they did load. I'm not sure whether to purchase the R4i Gold or the R4 SDHC??
      Dear Murphy,

       

      Considering the functions of the R4i SDHC and R4i Gold,they are almost the same.
       
      The outstanding difference between R4i Gold and R4i SDHC is that they are from different manufacturers. R4i Gold is from R4i-gold.eu while R4i SDHC is from r4i-sdhc.com. 
       
      R4i SDHC has the Wi-Fi function while the R4i Gold does not have. 
       
      For more information, please refer to the product descriptions.

    Chappell: 1.4.1 Firmware 28/12/2010
    I already have a R4i gold card, but recently i updated it unaware that nintendo blocked it. I am now looking for a new one and came across this one. Dose it work with DSi XL 1.4.1E? Also, i already have a micro SD card 8GB so will i need to invest in a new one? Will the firmware already be on the card or do i need to download somwthing? One last question - Do i have to buy a new card for R4i to ever work on my DSI agian? Thanks alot Vicky.
      Dear Chappell,

      This R4i Gold card is compatible with the DSi XL 1.4.1E. You need not to buy a new micro SDHC card. 

      Though the card will not come with the software installed on it, we will provide step-by-step setup guide and necessary software download links. 

      Some of the DSi flashcarts, such as r4i gold and r4i SDHC, do not have the firmware update function and will be blocked when a new DSi firmware is released. 
       
      Fortunately, some DSi cards have the firmware update function and can be unlocked even when the DSi console is updated to the latest firmware. The unlocking process requires the new firmware from the DSi card manufacturers' websites.  
       
      The following is the most popular and reliable DSi cards that have the firmare update function in alphabetical order: 
      1. Acekard 2i
      2. EZ Flash 5i
      3. Hyper R4i 
      4. M3i Zero 
      5. Supercard DSONEi 
      6. Supercard DSTWO
      The following is the most popular and reliable DSi cards that have the firmare update function in alphabetical order: 
      1. Acekard 2i
      2. EZ Flash 5i
      3. Hyper R4i 
      4. R4i SDHC
      5. R4i Gold
      5. M3i Zero 
      6. Supercard DSONEi 
      7. Supercard DSTWO

       

      Some of the DSi flashcarts do not have the firmware update function and will be blocked when a new DSi firmware is released. DSi firmware is normally updated without the user's awareness whenever the DSi console is connected to the internet via the Wifi wireless.  
       
      Fortunately, some DSi cards have the firmware update function and can be unlocked even when the DSi console is updated to the latest firmware. The unlocking process requires the new firmware from the DSi card manufacturers' websites.  
       
      The unlocking processes differ from card to card and is one of the important factors to consider when picking the most suitable card for you or your loved ones. The unlocking process has two types. For type one, the unlocking process can be done on a PC or Mac. The type two requires a DS Lite or a DSi with the compatible firmware version to complete. 

       

      5. M3izeroThe following flashcarts with the necessary firmware update from the respective manufacturers have been confirmed to be compatible with the firmware 1.41:
      1. EZ Flash 5i
      2. Hyper R4i
      3. Supercard DSTWO
      4. Acekard 2i
      5. M3izero

      Those apps concerned may not be supported by the driver you used. Could you please drop R4i Gold an email here to request them to add the compatibility in the next driver release?

    Chaston: Installation problem 08/10/2010
    I have down loaded the driver and put it on the memory card and then into the R4i gold v1.4 card. But I get a white top screen with "Menu?" and a black touch screen. Help.
      Dear Chaston,

      Before putting the driver on the memory card, one needs to unzip the driver first. Then proceed to place all the unzipped files under the root folder of the memory card, i.e.  the unzipped files should not be under any other folder. 


      Kind regards,
