I think i corrupted my flashcard, injection looked like it froze at 99% so i just powered off the 3DS and the flashcard didn't show up in the menu since then. So what can i do? Is there any way to unbrick the flashcard?

When flashing any firmware to anything, expect issues if the device is powered off during the process.

When flashing ntrboot, ntrboot flasher would've made you dump the flash of the r4 card first, you can use ntrboot flasher to restore this backup

You can't skip it. You can't inject ntrboot without dumping flash first. It will not inject without a backup present

Edit:

You could also just flash ntrboot again, just don't turn it off untill its finished. As stated above a card flashed with ntrboot won't show on the home menu, unless it's an acekard 2i or similar

I think i accidentally deleted the backup while re-formatting my sd card trying to undo the flashing.

Ok, do you want it as an r4 card or an ntrboot card?

If you still want an ntrboot card just run the flasher again. What r4 card is it?

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
