Any Original R4 firmware alternatives?

I have the original R4 and since the last firmware for the card i'm using was in 2008 I was wondering if you could use some other firmware on my R4DS card by another make/company.BTW I am using this on a DS lite.

Doesn't matter as I've now discovered YSmenu for the R4 which still has firmwares getting released recently.

Ysmenu is a modified DSTT firmware. It's been a long time since the DSTT had an official firmware update, but the unofficial firmware is updated quite often.

The infolib.dat that come with my update has support for world of zoo (E) versionI heard that Bookworm and Bejewelled are dsi enhanced that's , why they will not work on most cards or firmwaresBut you can play Bejewelled vr the PC emulator no$gba 2.6aKeep checking the site forextinfo.dat
infolib.datIt possable they will get around to fixing thease games with them files

Thanks as I am new to YSMenu and have only put it on today.I spotted this site here with R4 updates since 2008 - http://www.r4li.com/ (is that a real R4 site?)If so should I stick to YSMenu or use the kernal updates here as I only put YSMenu on my DS because I thought the R4 were no longer making firmware for the original R4?

The site has taken over the devlopment of the R4 original kernal, I would not recomend the new v1.24 kernal as its a beta and has a bug in soundR4 v1.23 kernel 2009-07-05 is the one to useYou can use both firmwares, from my page downloadR4 Kernal v1.18 + DSTT v1.17a12 , Updated 2010/01/25http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m2i0xqktzmcTake out ysmenu.nds and ttmenu folderFrom there page download R4 v1.23 kernel , place thease files in one folder and add the YSMenu.nds and TTMenu into that folder to have both kernal v1.23 and ysmenu , just boot ysmenu.nds to run ysmenuPost Merge: [time]1265201107[/time]

We keep supporting legacy R4 because we did NOT forget our customers who bought R4

Thanks and I'm glad they still make the R4 firmware updates.
