Hey everyone I have a 3DSXL on firmware 9.5.0-22U and it appears that's my R4i Gold 3DS flash cart for DS roms appears to be blocked. I put the flash cart in and it never loads the DS icon on the home menu.
I just bought this XL used so it's my first time ever attempting it. It seems that the XL holds cartridges much more securely in general. It may just be that flash carts just don't make firm contact to be used.
But this is only my hypothesis. My 3DS on firmware 9.4.0-21U works with the same card so it seems it might only be the new firmware. But http://r4ids.cn/news.htm says:
So either they're wrong or it's a 3DS XL problem.
Be warned. Update at your own risk.
I'd be happy to be proved wrong with a fix though.
