Hacking Complete n00b: R4i Gold 3DS

BTW, I am getting the new RTS card...

Now to update an R4i Gold, you will need a DS Lite/Phat/DSi, or a 3DS that hasn't been updated, in order to run the firmware patch.

Here's a guide to do this.
Step 1: Download the firmware update for your flashcart.
Step 2: Extract and put the firmware update on your microSD card.
Step 3: Put the flashcart into DSi, DS Lite, or DS Phat, or a 3DS that wasn't updated since the flashcart was blocked.
Step 4: Run the firmware update. Make sure you have a charger plugged in, or your flashcart could be done for.
Step 5: Wait until its done updating. When its done, turn off the DS, and turn it back on. If your DS/DSi says no cartridge(No Nintendo logo on startup), your flashcart is
busted. I hope this helps!

erm just to note
DONT update the firmware straight away
check what game it is using
as if its fresh from them they sometimes use a new game, meaning it wont be blocked on the 3DS and actually updating it will downgrade the flashcard

You know what? I am about to resort to a SuperCard DSTwo. It seems like a very powerful card with a great GUI, but the problem is how expensive it is. Does anybody know a trusted website that pre-flashes the cards and sells the cards at a lower price?
