ShopTemp's R4 and R4i Gold confirmed compatible with Wood R4

[RupeeClock]

Shame that R4s don't work with the DSi. Wood looks awesome.

There's always better options like the Acekard 2i, or the upcoming Supercard DSTwo.
But still, if you can't even afford the AK2i, then R4DS w/ Wood R4 is just so damn cheap it's worth the 2gb limit and no DSi support.

man i paid Rs.2500 = $55 (1 dollar = 45 rupees avg) wen i got my r4 also i didn't have a clue at what it was at that time.. also there wasn't any choice that was the only piece lmao.. but luckily i got an original (bought it last year).. so for me $6 is cheap..

Can anyone confirm that this is working? I just got a new r4, 1.18 works flawlessly, but Wood doesn't run. I tried it on my legitimate R4 and it works, so I did indeed set it up correctly. Any ideas?

Ok, just tested all 3. 1 works with wood, the other 2 don't. My original still works... Should I send them back? Request a refund? What's going on here? I got 2 defective cards out of 3 -.-

That's unusual, the R4DS I received worked fine with Wood R4...

Yes, talk to them about that, it's important Wood R4 work on it as they advertised that.

How long will it take for the new orders to come in? A couple of these are for my friends, and seeing as most games work patched with either ysmenu or 1.18, I may just keep my current setup... It just annoys me that the cards don't work as advertised.

I can't beleive R4 is still alive0 it needs to die.

I am happy with my AK2i purchase.

Totally unjustified R4 bashing.
Pre-Wood R4 I would have agreed with you, but do you have any idea how GOOD of a cheap card it is?
Reliable build, fantastic compatibility and great value all for $13 at shoptemp.
Sadly no DSi or SDHC, but otherwise just amazing.

Ugh, please think before you post next time.

Does anyone own the R4DS from shoptemp? I'm just curious what the microsd card loading mechanism is like. Years ago I bought 2 M3 Simplys, Wood R4 has brought them back to life. Only downside to them is the springload for the microsd cards. Was just wondering if the R4 had the same style or if it just slid in snug like most other carts?

I have recently purchased 2 R4's from ShopTemp and can confirm that both the cards are not spring-loaded, and the microSD card does fit in snug.

updated:

good news!

the R4i Gold from Shoptemp is also supported, the team uploaded the files recently on http://www.r4idsn.com in the downloads section
the file is mirrored here:
http://filetrip.net/f22821-Wood-R4-for-R4i...DS%29-1-17.html

it's been tested by a few people and reported working.

Another World is going to come up with a review of R4i Gold (with wood) in the coming days or weeks

R4i Gold (for Wood): Can we get it pre-flashed for 1.4.1 as the Acekard 2.i?

Because when I try to add it pre-flashed to my basket (without a mSD), that doesn't work...

 

[Costello]

let me check, there must be a bug...

edit: OK, I've told them to fix it and they just did

you can try again

 

[Etalon]

I tried it about 10 times in the past days now. But it's not really easy with the AK2i as well, I had to try it several times as well then...

 

[Costello]

it works now on the R4i Gold, I'll let them check it on other cards too

 

[Etalon]

Thanks, Costello!
