according to the site, only cards with 3ds can be upgraded..

Hi ya - ta for the response - its the R4i Upgrade Revolution for DS. It has the 'i' but not the yellow 1.4XX etc i.e the last one on the page!

To the best of my knowledge these cards can't be updated. ...

I may be wrong though. ... lol

oh bugger really? is it because it doesnt have a version number on it? didnt realise there would be a difference!
 
You see,
In the beginning, cards were not updateable,
Then again few of three better cards like acekard, dstwo released updatable cards.
Basically you are reprogramming the card to bypass ninty security updates, this is not too be confused with updating the firmware on SD cards to make newer games work.
Afaik, that card was released before the updateable cards were available...

why are you guys using the kernal file v1.11 you shouldnt need this at all
all i have ever done to upgrade these cartages is load the software version and then load cartrage
go to the config option and run update from there
from version 1.4 to 1.41 should be version 1.57b or 1.56b then load the latest 1.60b to upgrade to newest firmware

You guys have been brilliant - thanks for all the contributions!

So: dont do it it"ll hurt

if you look further down in the link it has the updates v1.11 for you but mine never worked hope yours does m80 the one attached is the one i tried - looks like the same - what was the end result for you; a new card?

And Buzzer / Turner Brown: I thought all I had ever done to updated v1.58 etc (although my other son has a different card so it may have been his) so this was why i was confused with a 1.11d type of update.

So are versions like 1.60 etc card firmware upgrades, and if so what are the kernel upgrades all about then?
Confused.com
Would y'all say its a new card then and if so what recommended and where from?!

AAaaargh!

Much appreciated as always!

Re: R4i-SDHC - version update buggers sons DSi (not literally) - help urgently requir

Re: R4i-SDHC - version update buggers sons DSi (not literally) - help urgently requir

i'm not sure what files it would be m8,

i have never managed to upgrade one of these cards..

best wait for turner.. :)
 
Re: R4i-SDHC - version update buggers sons DSi (not literally) - help urgently requir

sounds like a new card then, balls. Which one and from where?!
 
Re: R4i-SDHC - version update buggers sons DSi (not literally) - help urgently requir

i haven't bought a card in a while, so cant help you there.

personally i like acekards, but they seem to be slowing down with updates...
 
Re: R4i-SDHC - version update buggers sons DSi (not literally) - help urgently requir

..Best wait for Turner Brown then and the links! Ta as always. What a great site this is.
 
Re: R4i-SDHC - version update buggers sons DSi (not literally) - help urgently requir

ok this is a little hard to remember as its been a while since i updated a card from 1.4 to 1.41
the file i used was a version of the firmware from the r4i-sdhc website
the lowest version i have on my machine is 1.51

try these one at a time starting with the lowest

load the software to card and then click config icon , then update
