Bueno, viendo lo que comentais y las dudas, me he puesto en contacto con el R4team por mail y me han respondido, aquí os pongo los dos:
"Hello, i bought a r4ds cartridge and i always have updated it downloading the english firmware from de downloads section in
www.r4ds.cn.
I like to know if the available downloads at
www.r4team.com are the same as the other ones, and if you sell the same r4 cartridges, i think originals.
Could i have any problem updating my r4 firmware with the last 1.19 ver in this page?
I will apreciate your ask as soon as possible, thank you very much."
A lo que me responden:
"Dear Isaac;
First of all,for all the r4ds u bought by Mr Isaac,it is all from us directly..
For
www.r4ds.cn is the old website with the old kernal 1.18 version only,but that is owned by the previoud r4 team which it is not over responsible for r4ds original developpment..
From right now,we took over the original r4ds development,that is why we make this new website and develop the new kernal 1.19,but it is not the perfect version yet,since we promised to public that we will have new kernal long time ago,that is why we did put this new kernal 1.19...which our r4 team is still developping..
So from right now,if u sell original r4ds,u can directly downlaod from our website or
www.r4ds.cn for old version of 1.18 or u can only download the new kernal from our website
www.r4team.com Tks a lot again for further attention..
Best regards;
R4 TEAM;"
Resumiendo, no son el r4team que se encargaba de los updates hasta abandonar en el 1.18, por lo que no se les puede denominar FAKE, son otras personas distintas que lo dicen públicamente.
Ellos han recogido el testigo y van a dar soporte en la nueva página, empezando con la 1.19, que según dicen todavia no está optimizada., todavia esta en desarrollo.
Todo esto, claro está para la R4 "original", nada de SDHC, ni Rev III update etc. Para estas acudid a sus respectivas páginas.
