Hardware help to identify this R4 clone flashcart pls

[liquidgykill]

I got this one with a DS console I bought but had no SD card
I dont know how to get the Original kernel files, or if is compatible with any of RetroGameFan Multi Cart zip files.
in the front says WIFI R4i v1.41 revolution for DS (DsiLL/NDSI/NDSL/NDS) www.ndsiLL.net.
it looks old and beaten, on the back you can see a blue board with a 1.41 barely visible.
Ive found other threads online on google but they have another version on the front with a different number or cartridge color and those files dont work with this one.

You have a DSTT(i) clone branded as an R4. Either RGH's DSTTi-Clone YSMenu or TWiLightMenu++ will boot on this card.

Currently, from what I know, it is not possible to upgrade the cart's internal flash to work on later firmwares (correct me if I'm wrong). You will need to have a modded DSi/3DS console to whitelist the cart.

Re-format the SD card to FAT32 32kb, then double-check it with h2testw to see if it was damaged. If so, try a different SD card.

v1.41 carts are quite old and won't work on newer (unmodded) DSi or 3DS firmware. This is because Nintendo implemented save type detection in DSi v1.45 firmware and all but the earliest 3DS firmwares which was quite effective in blocking flashcarts from working, which was not fixable by the flashcart manufacturers without making hardware changes. This doesn't affect DS Phat or Lite so it will still work on those.
This kernel may or may not work, but it's the only one linfoxdomain has for ndsill.net carts: https://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/dl/ndsill_v1.45_English.rar
YSmenu is probably a better option for this card, in any case.

So at least it isn't being blocked by the 3DS, that's good.

He mentioned that he's using a modded 3DS, but you're right. Nintendo blocked flashcarts up towards firmware 7.0/7.1 on 3DS and 1.45 on DSi using what is called a 'cart blacklist'. Regardless, if your cart was blacklisted in a later 3DS/DSi firmware update, it can still be used on the original DS models because it doesn't have the extra header checks. Hence why during the lifespan of the later DS models, they released firmware updates to spoof the game information in order to circumvent the protection, Acekard was perhaps the first (I think).

Something I forgot to mention about installing the kernel, you're better off using the DSTTi-Clone YSMenu by RGF. Just be sure to rename the 'TTMENU.DAT' file to 'iLL.il' (no quotations) before copying the necessary files onto the SD card; otherwise, it will complain about the menu file missing.

this will sound weird but i dont suppose you'd be able to assist me in locating the correct firmware for this R4? im trying to use it with a DS Lite

Make a new thread, this is totally unrelated to the cartridge that the OP has provided.
