My N3DS recognizes it as Finding Nemo: Escape to the Big Blue:


While the DS lite boots it directly after finishing the startup intro

The issue with this is that there's absolutely no website written on the label. I've tried a few firmwares I could find, and here are the results so far:

Most kernels don't work, and the card gets stuck on this loading screen (R4 wood?):


Kernel from GoldR4i gets stuck on two white screens after loading.
Kernel from r4ids.cn flashes two white screens for a moment, then gets stuck on two black screens after loading. [/URL]

It should work with kernels for http://www.r4-pro.com/
The latest one should be "WOOD_R4dsi1.30_PRO.zip", you can probably find it via google.
Maybe some ysmenu version works, too.
https://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/ has a kernel for r4-pro cards as well but I think that it's a previous hardware revision.

Thank you very much!! It works :)

    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag

    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon
