Thoughts of R4 for DS/3DS???

R4 is pretty useless for 3ds because it constantly needs to be updated with new firmware. There are better flashcarts for that but I won't say here.

I'm confused. I have an R4i Revolution for my 3DS XL and have updated my 3DS to the latest firmware constantly since then. All of my DS backups work fine and I never updated since buying it last November.
