Re: Sonic Classic Collection FINALLY A REAL FIX FOR R4,DSTT + More[quote="Omega_2"][font=comic sans ms]Sorry, but the 'R4' is past it's prime.
Move on, people, R4 is considered "OLD, UNRELIABLE JUNK" by the mods of RomU, GBAtemp, and other places that have actual intelligence and common sense,
and we dare not question them, or would you? The AceKard2 makes most of these 'patches' unnecessary, too :\
Have you guys SEEN how bad RomUlations comments get when a game "DOESN'T WORK ON MY R4, FIX IT NAO!!"? And on GBAtemp, basically brought to it's
knees with the same crap over
1 new game that has any form of Anti-Piracy. GBAtemp went down for hours at a time when HG/SS (J) came out, why did it go down?
completely unacceptable behavior by impatient R4/TopToyDS owners who have
zero patience and a love of flooding the forums.
Long post is long...
Spoiler
These latest "R4"'s are just another company trying to milk people out of money by copying the old hardware and software, of a cart that DIED in April 2008, and yet people know and don't care, as long as they don't have to pay much to run them for a couple of months before it breaks on them, then they have to go buy ANOTHER 'R4' that will break, too. A flash cart is an investment, you should not go cheap with investments. People should make a proper investment by getting something they know is actually getting support, doesn't rely on blue moon 'patches', and aren't of cheap build quality
EDIT: IRC people keep telling me to put this here: tl;dr
[/quote]I have an R4 original, and honestly, I've had few issues. So I had to wait about 2 weeks for a patch? And? I just kept myself busy doing other things, playing other games, etc. Why would I go drop $20+ on a card when I don't have to? It might be because I'm not one of the people who comes running into the forums screaming "FIX MAH R4 NAO!", but waiting for a fix isn't that bad. There are now fixes for every game that the masses want to play.
Honestly, I don't get why people were still waiting on Classic Collection. People already posted that it is junk compared to the original games that you can play on your DS through the jEnesis emulator. Pokemon, DIY, SMT: SJ (I think), and Sonic and Sega Racing all have an almost identical fix (except that Pokemon used the already widely known Child's Play Patch). I would call the card far from dead, as patches are coming out in a timely manner, and there is yet to be a game that R4 couldn't play that a lot of people were anticipating.
I can't speak for the billions of clones out there though. If patches that come out for R4 don't work on your clone, well, I guess that is what you get for buying a knock-off.
