[GUIDE] How to see if you have a Fake R4 --- N0t bY m3

GUIDE for checking if your R4 is REAL or NOT!


as ive said many times ..points to look out for on fakes ...

PLASTIC colour is usually BLACK and not GREY BLACK which real R4's are.

Sticker will say something like UPGRADE or just R4 or R4DS and not ..

Quote:
R4

Revolution for DS

(NDSL/NDS)
as it should be on a REAL R4

the sticker also has GRADIENT shading top to bottom black through to GREY at the bottom

there are 3 main versions of R4

original GREY BLACK




original white (supplied to chinese market or used to come as an additional optional case with original R4)

(pic is not that great was only one I could find at the minute)



and the VERSION 2



note ALL of them have the same GRADIENT SHADING top to bottom of the sticker and ALL have the SAME WORDING as mentioned above!

VERSION 2 has the grooves in the sides near the top and NO SPRING LOADER for the micro SD and the fins on the back where the pcb connector edge is there are only one at each side on the V2 and they are all the way across as per retail game card splitting the pcb strips between each contact pad


V2 contact strip



V1 contact strip





and the FASTEST WAY of telling if you have a FAKE or not is the CHIP sticking up/out under the sticker!

ALL REAL VERSIONS of R4 are FLUSH solid casing front and back you should not/cannot feel any chip any where under the sticker!
