Bricked Flashcard? R

[crimsonarrow]

Hi everyone, I have a R4 3D Revolution for DS card I have some issues with. I believe there was a failed update with it many years ago and then it now only loads a white screen even when I try new SD cards with various firmwares.

I believe it used to work when it displayed as the software "Meet the Robinsons" on my 3DS and currently it shows as Hiromichi Oniisan no Oyako Taisou Navi. Not sure which update was the last attempted one though do recall there was a failed update and then the cart would just load to a blank white screen without anything else displaying.

Is it possible to unbrick the card or fix it? I have a modded N3DS as well.

Thank you.

EDIT: I managed to file the old files for updating the firmware for 1.41 and also 1.44. I successfully managed to update the card to 1.44 and now it displays The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian on 3DS however the game still loads into a blank screen when I try various firmwares. I used Wood 1.31 version.

Your flashcart is blacklisted on newer system firmwares. Its recommended to install custom firmware to re-enable the functionality of these carts.

Maybe try a different microSD card, older carts are known to be picky with SDHC. Go with something like a 2GB microSD then copy the kernel files to the root of the SD card.

Thanks for that reply. I actually tried the card on older hardware (DSLites etc) though it still has the issue. I've also tried different SD cards and eventually managed to successfully upgrade the card to 1.44 version on the firmware too.

I also tried the contemporaneous 1.31 and other newer wood kernels and they both still result in the white screen.
