A lot of those are rip offs I assume. The gold legit I think. Not sure about the R4 series .

That's not true, they are all legit variations of the R4. Just because you haven't heard of half of them doesn't mean they are "clones". They may have different kernal requirements but the official sponsored site http://www.nds-card.com offers all of these models. It's up to the buyer to use a reputable distributor to avoid cloned cards.

Personally, I use the R4i GOLD 3DS RTS falshcard and it works great but I only play DS games with forwarders with it. Most people here will recommend the same card. If you want to play 3DS games, get CFW or Sky3DS.

I've read multiple times that the R4i SDHC was a clone. Am I mistaken?

It's not, no. None of them are inherently clones. As I said, reputable distributors. Most people get clones because they order from Amazon or the like...

Anything that can run wood.If it can't run wood and forces you to use a specific kernel from a website,then it has a timebomb,it's that simple.

this is the one right? :-) thanks for the suggestion guys...

As long as the URL on the cart is r4ids.cn, it's the right R4i Gold.
I personally suggest nds-card.com, because it's GBATemp's official sponsor

Hi, I have this one, but the 2014 version, can someone help me to find the oficial website to download latest kernel and firmware?

I honestly have no clue since the website on the card brings nowhere. Since it's an R4i SDHC you could try this but I suggest waiting for an 100% positive answer.

just a question here regarding http://www.nds-card.com

does the price remains the same even it ship from different countries?

thanks

@Majickhat55
I already made an order and payment...
it says: order status = payment made

do you have an ideo on how many hrs will it take before the order status changes to "payment received"?

thanks

I ordered my legit R4i dual core from here. As I am living in the United Kingdom, the shipping cost is null and it only takes 1 day delivery. As for North American residents it would take 3-5 days delivery plus shipping cost.
