I cant use R4 SDHC GOLD Pro 2019

[Handango]

I back to play my Nintendo 3D but when I try use my R4 SDHC GOLD Pro 2019 I get this error:

Black screen and in red text this: Wrong date or firmware expired! Please check NDS machine date configuration

3DS have latest firmware and latest luma, I never have this error yesterday show me and I cant use

You have a timebombed kernel. It'll refuse to work based on the machine's date going past a specific point so you buy a new cart. If you need a fix now, set the date back.

The last flashcarts that did this removed the timebomb from firmware recently and you might be able to use the newer stock kernel. But "R4 SDHC GOLD Pro 2019" could be like 5 different ones (none of them a real R4)

Option one, find the URL written on the cart here and follow the guide.

https://sanrax.github.io/flashcart-guides/
https://sanrax.github.io/flashcart-guides/cart-guides/r4i-sdhc/- it's probably this one, but make sure it is because YSMenu can brick some specific carts

Option two, post pictures of the cart.

Yeah, it was timebomb one

You can use YSMenu as The alternative.

I'm confused. Which guide did you follow? YSMenu or R4iMenu?

https://sanrax.github.io/flashcart-guides/cart-guides/r4i-sdhc/- it's probably this one, but make sure it is because YSMenu can brick some specific carts

This is one of the DSTTi DEMON carts so YSMenu will work on this flashcart.

If it works, then you can load your games onto the microSD card. To do that, you'll need to create a new folder on the root called "Games" - this is where you will then copy your (.NDS) ROMs into that folder.

The games will then appear when you select the first item in the R4i-SDHC Menu.

Can I create folder for emulators (for play diferent systems) and those roms in same folder named games (nintendo ds games)

Yeah, but any (.NDS) ROMs that you have will be combined with the emulators stored on the microSD card in the games list.

It's recommended to put your emulated ROMs (other than in the top-level of "Games") into a separate directory for each system (i.e., SNES games in "Games/SNES" and vice versa).

Probably the original kernel for your cart was based on Wood R4 or Acekard, YSmenu is based on TTmenu which is based on the original R4, they're completely different kernels and YSmenu is indeed a bit more basic. It has all the essential features though like built in AP patching.

Original kernel was based on TTMenu, this specific flashcart is a DSTTi DEMON clone as it was discovered by the 'wrong date and time' error linked to the timebomb.

YSMenu does not contain AP patching or the older DSTT or OG R4 kernels, you'll need to patch them manually yourself, or use TWiLight Menu++ which automatically does this.
