doesnt work like that
the firmware is a internal part of the card you cant access, running the nds firmware file just updates it

you need to place the Kernel on the microSD card, as that is the menu and game compatibility files
firmware is the internal card software which allows it to run on consoles and gets updates when new console firmware comes out

Hi, sorry for bumping but I just got my 3DS back from repair and since it came with the 6.3 firmware, I had to replace my r4isdhc "new" with a "2013" cart.

I upgraded it to the new firmware and loaded the new 1.62 kernel.
I used my old DS and kept the same SD card.

Since I overwrote the usrcheat.dat file, I had to download a new one for Pokemon black 2 since I use the 2xmovement cheat but now every time I try to run the game with the cheats on it just freezes after pressing start.

I tried a patched and clean file and it does the same. I don't think it's the usrcheat,dat file that's failing since I opened it fine on the pc.

It was running great before on the old "New" cart with 4.5 firmware and 1.52 kernel.

If someone has a clue as to what might be failing please let me know.

You might try the newest firmware (1.70) here: http://gbatemp.net/threads/r4-dual-core-2013-new-kernel-1-70.357605.
Did you download the newest usrcheat.dat from the Codemasters Project? If not, here it is: http://www.codemasters-project.net/...Update-Usrcheat-01-11-2013&highlight=usrcheat.

It doen't work, I erased the old files and copied the new ones and now it doesn't get past the "Loading" screen, it's just a blank screen

I have put the usrcheat.dat file on my SD, and the Pokémon ROM. The game booted with the 2x movement cheat on, but it didn't get past the title screen. When I turned cheats off, it did. I think it's just the card or the kernel that doesn't support the cheats. You could try another kernel (1.51, 1.52, 1.60), a patched Pokémon Black 2 ROM or another usrcheat.dat file.

I posted in your other thread that the 1.7 update wasn't booting for me, but I changed the SD card and now it works.

Cheats still don't work, and I've found complaints about the same subject from several other tempers from México, don't know what's wrong...

Thanks Tranfeer and Xinos, you 2 seem to know a lot about those cards. Do you happen to know if it's possible to flash the firmware from the "2013" card into the "NEW" labeled card?

The NEW card has a comparable hardware structure with the 2013 version, but I don't know if it works. Besides, if it doesn't work, the NEW card will be bricked and there is no method to fix it.
