Homebrew DS(i) NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Would it ever be possible?

Due to memory/RAM limitations, it simply isn't possible.
It's why a Memory Expansion Pak is required on DS Lite.

So it seems like on the DS lite with a EZ-flash V plus, there isn't much I can do
like homebrew menu, or RetroGameFan or Twilight menu?

The card is great and I can run some homebrew stuff and emulators, music and stuff
but I guess it's pretty maxed out at this point. Seems like I would need a different flash card
for Twilight to work on the DS lite? I've been around the forum and discord and it seems
like there isn't much more I can do with it!

The issue is likely that there's no autoboot file for the EZ-Flash V.

hi Robz, I own a card "new r4 sdhc dual core (i think 2013)" for 3ds and dsi that I can not make it work, I tried to put in the programs but every time I insert it in the 3ds and boot me from an error, I also formatted the micro sd 2GB format "fat32", I can not understand where is the problem, if it was the 3ds too updated or something else, if you have any suggestions thank you in advance.
i attach a photo of my r4

I think the Wood R4 kernel should work. Also, have you tried a different card?

 

[IginioCream]

I have only this r4, you have the link for the download of wood kernel?

You need to format the card first in FAT32.

You don't have to be an expert to read the site name and the word in the top right corner printed on the cart label.
BL2CK kernel (modified Wood).

Then try with YSmenu.

Wouldn't YSMenu just simply brick such cart?

Help: save file problems! I just homebrewed a DSi XL and I'm using TWilightmenu++ to run DS and DSiWare games. So far it works beautifully--EXCEPT that the save files aren't working for any games. I've tried about a dozen games. I did check my SD card with h2testw before homebrewing. My SD card is unlocked. When I launch a game, a save file is created. But when I looked in the save folder of my SD card, all the save files of the games I've played are empty (all showing as 0 KB). And when I relaunch a game, a save file is created from scratch all over again. Any suggestions??

It is a timebomb card so it is self bricking. Formating the sd card and setting the date far enough back should let you use the firmware that comes with the card if everything else fails.

Backup and then format the card, make sure it is in 32 bit format and that the card is not in read only mode.

Isn't timebomb reside only on such carts with the years 2014 and higher?
Update: And by 'brick', I meant a real full brick. Final and irrevocable. Kinda like cart-kaput.

That specific brand seems to always use the same cards and just change the front and what year the time bomb will happen with newer versions. I only bought one because it was in the compatibility list for the old 2DS hacking flashcard method.

Yes, that's right, but only for years 2014 and up.

That worked! Now everything's perfect. Thanks a million. Really appreciate it.

What firmware ended working for that card anyway? And did that get rid of the timebomb?

What are you talking about? Stop confusing yourself and confusing others.
Personally, I had no problems and I did not ask for anything.

If it's a Ace3DS+ clone card, just put wood r4 v1.62 on it.

I have the 2018 model specifically the "R4 SDHC Dual-Core 2018" url :r4isdhc.com

I have seen BL2CK_1.30.4 (update that one doesn't work), wood r4 v1.62 and YSMenu for R4i-SDHC recommend for it so no clue what to use.

Here is the official kernel in this forum:
