To most users, the new function is additional, the update firmware blocks all flashcarts, including AK2i, R4 family and other old brands flashcarts.

But now there’s a video posted online. The video shows that new R4i works on the new Dsi firmware 1.4. If it is true, that means that Nintendo anti-piracy act has failed again. There’s a rumor that the new R4i will be released later.

The age of R4 has passed, clones sweep on the market. Copies and copies, it’s hard for people to identify the authentic and useful game peripherals. Recently, one more fake R4i appears on the market.
