R4 shell now improved, no more spring mechanism

Nintendo DS R4 users annoyed with how flimsy the R4’s spring mechanism in its Micro SD slot can now heave a sigh of relief: new R4 units with redesigned shells are now out, with the spring mechanism now eliminated.

Those who aren’t acquainted as to what R4 is, it’s one of the more popular alternatives for a SuperCard, and is also compatible with DLDI system.

According to the R4 website, there were many complaints received from R4 users about how the spring gets easily damaged over use. And since the Micro SD slot’s spring mechanism is used every time gamers load and swap homebrew and media files, the spring’s most likely bound to be busted at some point after frequent usage.

But now that it’s eliminated, DS R4 owners can now take out and re-insert their Micro SDs from their R4 cartridges as often as they want without worries.
