The world’s most popular R4 card, the R4 SDHC, is getting a face lift.  First available alongside the former version, the R4 SDHC v 2.10T is now the flagship product of the R4 SDHC team.  The familiar black box is now officially discontinued, and no longer in stock with us here at DSCardWorld.  We will continue to support the black box version, but any cards sold will now be the new version.

The official name is the R4 SDHC v2.10T but also may be referred to as the “Happy Box” packaging as it’s designed to be used with the R4 SDHC team’s DS Card management client software, DS Happy Box currently in beta.

We are in the process of replacing our site images, but we have below the new packaging you can expect with all orders as well as more information on the improvements.  Despite how it may look, this is NOT the R4i Gold, and it is not a fake, it is another product from the same manufacturer as the world’s most popular R4 since the original retired in 2008.

The R4i Gold pictured below is NOT Carried by www.DSCardWorld.com

As you can see it has a textured gold surface, immediately eye-catching. It differs from the R4i Gold which, although of the same color is a completely different card from a different manufacturer.

The box and the card itself clearly show the www.r4sdhc.com website, which is the same home site as the r4 sdhc black box as shown on the webpage below.

Once you have the card booted up you’ll notice that the menu software is lifted directly from the R4i SDHC (red box).  The current version is visible in the bottom left hand corner on both gui’s.  The latest R4 v2.10T software is v2.10T03, and the version shown for the R4i SDHC is v1.19b.

We are very excited about this new product, as it will feature all the functionality of the R4 SDHC black, but with added game compatibility, and a large increase in loading speed.

In our last post we kind of glossed over the packaging [...]]]> As you may have heard, there is a new clone on the market, a fake iEdge card that is NOT affiliated with the famous Edge team.  We now have further details available now that we actually have one of these fake devices in our possession.

In our last post we kind of glossed over the packaging except for the text on the back, but upon further inspection, a myriad of differences show up.

First, let’s inspect the front of the package.  The pattern is nearly identical, but on the fake iEDGE there’s an extra iEDGE logo at the top near the point.

The elastic band on the fake iEdge also sports an “iEdge” logo whereas the real one only has the general “Edge” brand icon.  Detailed below:

The elastic band itself is also different.  The colors reverse on the real one as seen in the photo below with the logo showing in reverse as well.   However with the fake, it’s the same main turquoise color on both sides, and there is no logo on the back of the band.

If you look closely at the real iEdge packaging, on the right hand corner it has an “i compatible” note that is missing on the fake.

The back of the packaging is the most discussed as it contains the fake iedge web address.  Here, you can see side by side the fake and the real.  As you can see the real card has two lines of text with the real website http://www.edgd-ds.cn and the fake website http://www.edgei-ds.cn on the other box.

Once the fake iEdge is loaded up it will display different behavior as well.  As previously mentioned, the fake iEdge will show up as having Danny Phantom flashed to the firmware much like the M3i Zero and the EZFlash Vi.

Previously it was reported that loading up the wrong software, i.e. software NOT from the fake www.edgei-ds.cn website resulted in a red dstt menu, but this was not our experience.  We found a black “System File is Missing” Screen.  The REAL iEdge has a white screen that says “Edge.DAT not found!”

Here you can see the GUI menu of the fake iEdge.  The REAL iEdge (unskinned) has a multicoloured 3d wallpaper on the top screen unlike a plain metallic logo on the fake menu.

The games selection screen is different too.  The REAL iEdge will load the game straight from the window and not show all the info in the bottom screen.  Settings like Cheats will be set in the main 3-icon menu under “Settings”

There you have it, a full rundown of the fake iEDGE and comparison shots with the real iEdge packaging and menu software.

R4i SDHC- WORKS! Acekard 2i- WORKS! M3i Zero- WORKS! iEdge- [...]]]> There’s been some worry over the internet about flash card compatibility and the new DSi XL. I’ll set the record straight by saying the DSi XL is identical to the DSi eletcronically and by firmware. Every DSi flash card we carry will function on the DSi XL.

R4i SDHC- WORKS!
Acekard 2i- WORKS!
M3i Zero- WORKS!
iEdge- WORKS!
EzFlash Vi- WORKS!      But….

Yes the EZFlash we carry will work, however there’s a potential complication for owners of older EZFlash Vi models. The EZFlash came in two versions, the older 705 and the newer 805 from January of 2010 that we carry.   If you have an EZFlash Vi currently and you’re of the mind that bigger is better via the DSi XL, then you’ll want to make sure you own the 805 model.

How can you verify this? The EZFlash Vi itself will tell you. Load up the latest menu software RC 13, but as low as RC 10 will work. You can find it here: EZFlash Vi Website. Once you have it loaded on your micro sd card boot into the EZFlash card on your DS and click the system settings icon in the home menu. It will bring up a settings window that tells you the Model version shown below.
