Help identify R4i sdhc Gold correct firmware

[Reza007]

I have this r4 with my ds lite, it has 1.35 firmware but after changing the sd card i have problem running some games, i get white screen or black screen after trying to run some games, i also tried to install ysmenu but it doesn't work, also tried a few other firmware with no luck

Could you open up the cartridge by unclipping the sides and take a photo of the PCB? And/or provide a download to the kernel from the microSD card. This one looks new to me, but the label is not.

yours might be a different hardware revision (different color pcb), hopefully it still works

Likely not the same card or a different revision.

It's too risky my friend, it's the only r4 i got, and these thing really hard to find. It's firmware 1.35 revolution for ds official firmware, it's also have moonshel as media player. You want me to upload the firmware files?

Amazing, it's very similar, but my r4 pcb color is green, i don't know if it's make a difference, also my r4 official firmware is 1.35 revolution for ds. Thanks man, i check the files in the links and tell you the results.

Sure, and I'll compare it to other firmware files that I've got for the R4DS Pro and see if it matches.

Contrary to the photos, most r4-pro.com carts I have seen appear to have a green PCB, the gold PCB variant is more rare.

I honestly never knew that. Learnt something new today.

this will probably have a lot better compatibility with newer games than the regular firmware from the manufacturer did too

Yes my friend, the official firmware can't run some games, but the new one you provided with the link looks better and even load the games faster, i can't run Hotel Dusk Room 215 before, now I'm enjoying this special game thanks to you.
