Hi all,
I ordered an Iedge card from this site a few days ago..
http://www.r4i.co.uk/shop/iedge/iedge-card...with-1.4-/19206
When I received it I was all ready to go with the software from http://www.edge-ds.cn/
Imagine my disappointment when the packaging stated it was from a different website http://www.edgei-ds.cn/ (subtle difference!!) and it would not accept the official version.
I eventually got it working using the dodgy sites software but the GUI is nowhere near as good as the real version. The real site knows all about this fake site it has posted the following on its site..

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Fake iEDGE products in the market!
It has come to our attention that a site, namely http://www.edgei-ds.cn, is selling fake products using the EDGE brand name. These fakes are not supported by the EDGE firmware and the product is no way associated with the EDGE team. Consumers should avoid purchase of this product, as the support is poor and the compatibility is low. We will shortly post pictures showing you how to identify the fakes.
I contacted the website and told them my issues but after 90 minutes I could not get them to understand that mine was a fake!! I gave up in the end. The card seems to do the job, all the ROMs not working on R4 even with YSMENU do work on it apart from Bowsers inside story.
I need to order another PROPER edge card, does anyone know where I can guarantee getting a legit one?
Thanks
