Nintendo has just blocked flashards on the DSi yet again with the release of firmware update 1.4.1 today. However, it does not seem like all flashcards have been affected. Nintendo's system menu update page says the new firmware provides "behind-the-scenes improvements", but as expected that is really just PR speak for "no more homebrew for you". This is the first incremental update for the DSi in over a year, yet it is not believed there are any new features for the DSi outside of flashcards being blocked. Several GBAtemp users have updated and tested their flashcards and ended up with a black screen that tells them to turn off the power. The Supercard DSTwo and Acekard 2i are confirmed to be blocked, but resident AKAIO developer and flashcard wizz Normmatt says the EZ-Flash Vi and iSmartDS have not been blocked. We will keep a list of confirmed flashcards. Thanks to SickPuppy for the original tip-off on the forums about this update. For now, steer clear of the update if you want to keep using your flashcard! Below is a list of confirmed blocked/unblocked flashcards as reported by GBAtemp members. Blocked: Acekard 2i Supercard DSTwo M3i Zero iPlayer DSTTi Unblocked: EZ-Flash Vi iSmart DS Hyper R4i --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Supercard DSTWO update bypasses new protection, Less than a day later... Download here How to use : Unzip it and drag the system1.dat to the _dstwo folder . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll keep this thread
You should add the Galaxy Eagle i to the blocked list :/ I really hope they update the card's firmware soon, or else I'm in trouble -w-
R4i is blocked for the record. Wife updated her DSi innocently - next thing... Blocked. Anyone know of a new updated since for the RSi card? Checked http://www.r4i-dshc.com and there is no new update yet from them.
my r4i dosent have the yellow sticker saying v1.4 yet my dsi is only version 1.4E so im kinda safe. my r4i which was a red bix and is meant to work on a dsi is not working but will it be able to work or do i need to get the r4i whith the yellow v1.4 sticker plz infomr me asap as its my bday soon and if so ill get one for then thanks
Has there been a fix for r4i yet? I have updated even though in my head I'd regret it. I wanted to use the shopping channel and had no idea that updating would make the card non readable! This is my daughters dsi and she'll be heart broken! Need fix ASAP! Thank you.
go to http://www.r4li.com/ R4,R4i Revolution For DS-R4Li.com R4Firmware there is a new fix there up-dated 29-9-2010
R4i revolution v1.45 ndsill.net (blue)....BLOCKED R4i revolution v1.4 R4i.cn (black).......working on 1.4.1E. kernel v.1.57, update v.1.59 available Cant seem to use updated internal firmware upgrader v1.0 rvct 4.0 (build 471) r4i UP_1.nds.......gets to start button and freezes, apart from that all games seem to play.
THANK YOU to all of you. I sold my daughters DSi and have now bought her a pink one! BUT I will be using the new software that you have recommended.
I need something to help my son use a Chinese made multi-game on his DSi. The game is locked to version 1.4 and my son has already upgraded to 1.41. What can he use to get around this that is easy to use? Is there a slot card that will accomplish this?
