Q: Is there a version/generation 3 R4
Revolution-III out
there?
A:
No. Even at the R4's web site, they stated their
latest R4 Revolution is Generation 2. Anyone claiming their is an R4
Version 3 are fakes! People who bought "version 3's" from Amazon.com
and other places
reported the device locking up, does not run some games, have no support for
microSDHC, Dead On Arrival, and a few unlucky ones got their DS fried by
using one of these fakes!
We sell only real R4's and I really believe we're the only company that
test each and every single item before we ship. This is serious quality
control.
Q: What about
Generation 2?
A: The R4 Team called their latest R4's a Generation 2 device. The ONLY
difference between this and the old one is they removed the spring loaded
microSD slot, and made the housing a little more stylish. That's it. Other
sellers claiming SDHC support or any other extra support difference from
Generation 1 are FAKES.
Q: Create system files error
A: The system need to create a 4MB-temporary file, make sure the SD/TF has
enough space.(It's better to run the R4 system to create this temporary
file once you finish formatting the flash card, and do not delete it
unless it is necessary
Q: The system file is not correct.
A: Once the 4MB-temporary file which is create by the system was damaged,
user can delete the file and run the system to rebuild; Or run the R4
system to create the 4MB-temporary file after finish formatting the flash
card, and do not delete it unless it is necessary.
Q: How do saves work? Will I be able
to backup my save-games?
A: Easy and without extra software , you can backup your saves bysimply
dragging and dropping them.
Q: Failed to create archive?
A: There are 2 possible reasons: One is the TF card has no enough space;
Second: to the FAT16 OS, the root directory has a maximal file amount:
512(long file name will take more space), that means the surplus amount
must be more than the amount that going to be created.
Q: Archive has been damaged?
A: There are 2 possible reasons also: First, the archive is damaged
indeed; Second, If the archive is copy from the other type of flash card,
it can't run directly before being converted via appointed software.
