Fake R4 Flashcarts To Brick DS Systems


The R4 Team has recently made an announcement that future fake R4 DS flashcarts will brick your Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite.
They'll be the programming of the fake R4 DS flashcarts that will brick your DS.
Original R4 DS flashcarts will work fine and won't damage your DS in any way.
How they're going to do this, we don't know...

The plan is, if you order an R4 DS flashcart (and it turns out to be fake) it will brick your system.
You'll need to contact the shop/seller about your problems, and the R4 Team won't take any responsibility.
A smart move, on their part.

Important point:
1. After 15 September, Team R4 will do something for the fake card, original program(firmware) with Fake R4 may damage your DS machine (brick), original R4 will have no problem with this program.
2. Make sure you have buy a original R4, if you brick your DS with fake R4, please go ask the selling shop and Team R4 will not admitted this liability.

no they pretty much work the same as the normal R4s but the people who make R4s don't like others sellings things off as them so R4 has decided that if someone who has a fake R4 decides to update it they will brick their DS.

Thats a bit harsh. They should have made it so that the fake was inoperable. Its a bit tough on the consumer if they bought a fake without knowing it.
