Hi,
I previously posted on a forum about getting the right firmware on my R4 and it was an unusual firmware that I havent seen anywhere else. It worked on my Ds Lite but I cant get it to work on either my DSiXL (Which is at ver 1.4.5U). Is there anyway I can update the firmware to make it work on my DSiXL?
Thanks alot in advance!

Try placing the file I've attached to your SD card and run it. Make sure to do whatever the screen says. Wait for it to finish, don't turn it off. Report back on what happened

Put it on my card and then did everything it told me to, the picture of the cart changed to a Japanese enix game with mario and the slime from dragon quest. When I boot up the card on my dslite it still works normally but on my DSiXL I still get the same error "An error has occurred. Press and hold the power button to turn the system off..." I guess the screen takes a bit longer to fade into the error but that might just be my eyes playing a trick on me.

I've looked again but apparently, this card only supports up to DSi FW 1.4.4. I know you could downgrade your DSi but that would be too much of a risk

So youre saying it would just be easier to get a new R4 cart since there is no hope in this one working with my DSiXL?

Yes, that cart is a clone of another cart.

If you want something nice, get the R4i Gold 3DS RTS cart from r4ids.cn

If you want something that also plays GBA and SNES games with great speeds and good comatibility, get a DSTWO or the DSTWO+

    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.

    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)

    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
