Hi folks, I lucked into a DSTWO+ (the 4-in-1 type) flash cart, but it errors out when I try to run it. No option to update. Just an error telling me to power off.
1. Same issue on 3ds XL SW 11.0.0 (unmodded) & 11.17.0U, the latter with Luma3ds CFW installed.
2. It DOES show the expected Alex Rider image preceding the error, so it's not dead.
3. I'm using a good 32gb sandisk card that has been fat32 formatted using SD Formatter 5.0.2.
4. I've added the _dstwo folder (EOS 1.14) to SD root and dstwoupdate.dat (v1.25) also.
5. From what I was told, this thing was NEVER used, so probably was never updated and needs a 9.x.x 3DS for the initial firmware update.
Any solutions that don't involve buying a DS Lite (or original DS, I guess) just to update this flash cart? I've seen a few posts of people successfully updating by using a DS Lite, but I have none handy. The supercard site itself says to run on a compatible DS, but I have no idea what software version they need to be on:
In the tips&tricks section of Terminator02's DSTWO setup guide, there's a way to update the card on a 3ds, but it runs the risk of bricking a $200+ flashcart... and it's a 12-year old guide, so probably cannot be trusted.
I don't mind buying a DS Lite (or DS) just to get this cart firmware updated, but are they all pretty much guaranteed to work? Best I can tell, the DS/DS Lite/DSi were all discontinued around 2014, so that means a better chance for compatibility? Any record of someone successfully applying 1.25 firmware to one of these carts on a fully-updated DS/Lite?

Step 4: Find a DS console (NDS\DS\DSLite\DSi\3DS) which can run this EOS system, if you have the latest version console can not run EOS system, sorry, you have to find one.
