I bought a R4i Gold Flashcart for 3DS (r4ids[dot]cn)

I downloaded the Wood Kernel, but I get a black screen.
What am I doing wrong?
I have CFW, and on latest 3DS FW.

I have the exact same card. What I did was follow the directions on the site and used the "setup 3DS" button on the Flashcard itself before installing WoodR4. Then, I made sure the options I needed were checked in Luma settings. I have to keep "load external firms" turned on or else mine blackscreens as well.

That is strange then. I just copied woodR4 files to the SD and didn't need to have "load external firms" on with my R4i Gold. This is a N3DS.

Not a physical button, one in the menus. If you load the card, press the green start button in the corner, there is a "3DS Setup" button at the very bottom.

Thats my problem.

I load the wood files on the sd and start the Cart, I get a "black screen", no menu, nothing.... I have a N3DS with Luma

I'm using an N3DS as well, I probably don't need it on but it was either that one or the "patch SVC" that I needed on or else my forwarders fail to load. Well at least that was the case when I first got it, I don't think I've turned it off since then Lol.

Hmm, that's weird. I just drag and dropped then did the "3DS Setup" thing for good measure. I could PM you the files I have on mine to see if they work for you if you'd like.

This card works on 7.0 and therefore any earlier or later 3DS version out of the box :)

Can you run any original DS game?
If no or can't test, try reinstalling the DS/i mode (instructions and files available from 3ds.guide troubleshooting page)

I have a original DS game: Star Wars force unleashed and I also get a black screen when booting...

I will follow this soon, hopefully it works: https://3ds.guide/troubleshooting.html

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
