R4 3DS Cards Updated To Work On 6.1.0 Nintendo 3DS Systems

LOS ANGELES - July 12, 2013 - PRLog -- The latest update has rolled out from Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL systems.  The new update, which is now at version 6.1.0 is the latest in what many have called a double update that was release just a week after their 6.0 came out.  The quick back to back updates were as a result of a minor bug in the 6.0 update which caused an issue with certain features on some Nintendo 3DS XL systems.

As is the case sometimes with new system versions, R4 3DS card owners also realized that their homebrew multimedia cards were no longer being recognized by their 3DS consoles.  This is often due to the system updates affecting how third party hardware is read and recognized on the Nintendo hand held systems.

The developers behind the kernel updates for the R4 3DS however have also released a new version of their kernel, which now brings back compatibility with even the latest 3DS and 3DS XL game systems.  Unlike many other flash cart makers that are asking their users to take apart their flash carts and cut tiny traces on the pc boards, the official R4 3DS doesn't need any type of internal tinkering with their cards at all.  

A simple download and update of the firmware will instantly bring back full compatibility for the new 6.1.0 (and all prior versions) of the Nintendo 3DS systems.  Because of the dual core processing power of the official R4 3DS cards they have been able to quickly and consistently release new firmware kernels that ensure that owners of the cards will be able to continue to enjoy their multimedia and gaming functions.

What Is The R4 3DS?

The R4 3DS line of game cards for the Nintendo 3DS bring added features and functionality to the worlds most popular hand held game system.  They enable users to add multimedia features and functions to the Nintendo 3DS which would otherwise be non-present.  Enabling the playback of movies, music and even ebook reader functions.  They also add the ability to load third party / independent and freeware games and applications.
