R4 SDHC Dual-Core (r4isdhc.hk)

Open Adran-Marit opened this issue 7 years ago • 44 comments

Not sure what firmware you are using for the dualcore but I found after a bit of googling there was an unofficial YSMenu firmware listed for it on the woodr4 page as well as a firmware update .nds file, however for me the links for the .nds are broken

Info from the woodR4 Dualcore page

Hope it helps, but for now im going to try to find that .nds file

Please provide photos of the card, CiphID, HW revision when trying to dump the flash with the tool and website. (Source: https://twitter.com/hedgeberg/status/896654926864158721) @kitling maybe is better to create an issue template for better handing hw support requests.

I have this same card as @Endar-Marit . It's from www.r4isdhc.hk. It's detected as ChipID: 00000FC2 HW ID: 2A2A2A2A

Since the website is down, using wayback machine, firmware update .nds file can be downloaded here.

The R4 SDHC Dual-Core is not supported yet (I think so?)

ashton0223 avatar Aug 13 '17 20:08 ashton0223

Not for now, it's on the todo list... thanks for the report anyway! I've realized that my dead r4 (pretty similar to this other) it's an SDHC clone! :D

@Legarad that seems totally another flashcard, and the website is pretty dead. Please open another issue providing, other than that, photos of the card and backups of the firmware and updater if you can.

Valeri0p avatar Aug 14 '17 11:08 Valeri0p

@Valeri0p Sorry, it was a typing error because I was in a hurry to get to my work, the actual website is www.r4isdhc.com. It's a discontinued flashcart from that page. I remember that I downloaded the firmware via webarchive long ago to modify my second 3DS console with RxTool. Currently I already have both with B9

Legarad avatar Aug 14 '17 17:08 Legarad

@Valeri0p Update the firmware via webarchive and now the R4 SDHC has the information of @EleventhSign 's R4

Legarad avatar Aug 15 '17 03:08 Legarad

@Legarad did you say that you updated your cart using the updater I linked? If so, can you try to detect it again with the flasher and post the pic here?

@EleventhSign No, I use the files of this website https://web.archive.org/web/20131106221949/http://www.r4isdhc.com:80/download_white_new2013/

Edit: It is interesting that the update address of 2013 corresponds to the R4i gold although it is inaccessible. But thanks to web.archive.org I found a similar one

Real Inaccesible Link: http://down4.nds9.cn/2013r4i-gold/fwUpdate_V6.20.rar Web.Archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://down4.nds9.cn:80/2013r4i-gold/fwUpdate_V6.20.nds

Apparently It's the same file, the difference that one is compressed, right?

Legarad avatar Aug 15 '17 19:08 Legarad

You could run an md5 check on both .nds files to determine if they are identical. Nevertheless, if the pcb of your cart isn't the one as I posted here, please open as a new issue.

EleventhSign avatar Aug 15 '17 20:08 EleventhSign

@EleventhSign your link working to me. The ChipID and HWRev are same

ChipID: 00000FC2 HW Rev: 2A2A2A2A

I have a question... I have an r4 sdhc dualcore 2014 from r4isdhc.hk inside is similar at @EleventhSign 's flashcard from like 10 posts above the issue is that the flashcard is bricked... tried the swapping metod with dslite... and nothing... it's recogniced with: ChipID: 00000FC2 HW Rev: 2A2A2A2A same chipID and hw rev... but flashcard is bricked... if there will be a ntrboot release with dualcore support... do you think it may work? is there a way to unbrick it?

I have almost the exact same board as Zemogiter's Dual Core, but I have a different card (R4 Gold Pro, same site) but the chip ID and Hw Rev are completely different. *chip ID and HW rev are wrong.

ashton0223 avatar Aug 24 '17 01:08 ashton0223

The board of my card is very similar to this one, but the name is "R4i Unlimited Upgradable", the website on the sticker is r4i-sdhc.kh instead of r4isdhc.hk, the chip ID is the same BUT the hw rev is 00000000.

Bl1tzkrieg avatar Aug 26 '17 21:08 Bl1tzkrieg

@1vanchom , same here, bricked R4i, same chipID & hw rev, wait for some tools to read from a good one and write back to the bricked one. Swapping method seemed to work on 3DS, which showed with actually progress going, but still bricked in the end... Tried many times...

BTW, anyone knows are there some tools which can read and write the whole firmware from NDS flashcard?

@607jf, your flashcart was mentioned before in other issue, this issue is especifically for R4isdhc.hk flashcart

your flashcart is from r4isdhc.com, search the issue and post your card there, btw, erase your flashcart from this issue because is not the same

And the same thing for everyone who have a flashcart form r4isdhc.com

Juanito9001 avatar Sep 07 '17 17:09 Juanito9001

This is pretty much the r4igold.cc one. look at #3 .

Riteo avatar Sep 11 '17 20:09 Riteo

Just my 2 cents; it may shed some light into which factory these (and others shipped from)

In browsing web archive, i realised that the contact email is the same for www.r4isdhc.hk, www.r4itt.net, r4i-gold.me and www.r4ids.cc. (most of these no longer work - some do).

Its interesting to see that the Kernel/Firmware for the SDHC Dual Core at: http://web.archive.org/web/20140328054251/http://www.r4isdhc.hk/download_2014/3DSV7.0.0-13%20upgarde%20firmware.rar

and the Kernel/Firmware for the R4I-GOLD PRO at: http://r4i-gold.me/en/download/skin/2014/3DSV7.0.0-13%20upgarde%20firmware.rar

See to be exactly the same? md5: DC56A66BC2369472542790EFEF62AAC3

like I said... Just my 2 cents.

I got R4 sdhc Dual-Core r4isdhc.hk 2017 with firmware version 7.07. It was working with wood kernel _DS_MENU.DAT. when i copied another kernel with R4.DAT It got black screen with error to turn off dsi. then when i copied back the wood kernel the problem still persist. I saw the swap trick method(I have 2 of the cart) but I cant continue because the version of the firmware file is 7.00 which is less than. Is there any way to bypass version check? or a way to write the firmware a different way?
