Hacking Can someone help me with my r4?

[YuKira]

I've been using a dual-core r4 sdhc 2013 for quite a few years now, but today all of a sudden all random colored pixels appear and my dsi even if I remove the r4 remains in that screen unless I turn it off.
Can anyone help me fix this problem?
One last thing, I don't know if it's useful, in the dsi/2ds menu it appears as "SpongeBob's Atlantis Squarepantis THQ"

Does it say "r4isdhc.com" with the year '2013' over a star-shape?

It's not broken, your card is likely blocked on the latest system firmware. Reason for that is because Nintendo attempted to block flashcarts by adding them to a blacklist, and some flashcart manufacturers found a way around it by spoofing the title of the game to get around it via updates. You will need to install custom firmware onto your DSi, such as Unlaunch, or Luma3DS for 3DS to bypass the whitelist checks. Original DS/lite does not have a cart blacklist.

Your flashcart is based on the BL2CK series of flashcarts based on Acekard. Do not attempt to use YSMenu as you can fully brick the flashcart from working.

Follow the kernel guide here for setting up the microSD: https://sanrax.github.io/flashcart-guides/cart-guides/bl2ck/

Just go with the 'Standard' instructions, don't use the other.

Isn't that just because the screen has gone bad? Because to me it looks like a damaged polarizer, no?

I see. Turn off the console, then change for a different microSD card. Make sure it is 32GB or less, formatted to FAT32. Clean the contacts of the flashcart because it could be a bad connection as well.

Otherwise, as a last resort, try it on a different DS system if you can.

Same thing, I've tried formatting it, I've tried using it on my 2ds, it's always the same glitched screen, but sometimes it shows or a white screen, or the error that says to shut down the console, is there anything else i can do?
