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

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
