I just bought a brand new 3ds xl, haven't even opened it yet. I ws wondering if any of the R4 cards work on the 3ds and if there is anywhere reputable to purchase. Thank you for reading and any advice you may have
Nothing bricks. The 3DS just recognizes the flash cart and refuses to run it.
Heh, and you can brick a 3DS by cutting the power during an update, and a PSP, etc. Nothing to do with flash cart checks, it's just how the system works.I've had an ex friend brick his flash cart by turning the system off during an update with the cart still inside. We tried every trick in the book to get it working again, but the card was toast. Retail games ran perfectly. It's a small chance, but I always recommend removing the cart before updating the 3DS itself in order to prevent any situations like this.
No firmware downgrades possible, and as far as updating goes, listen carefully please
First wait until a fix has been announced.
DO NOT UPDATE 3DS FIRMWARE UNTIL YOU HAVE RE-FLASHED YOUR CART.
You will need to Flash your cart to the latest CART Firmware,
Remove your cart from your DS. after you powered the system off
and THEN turn it back on and update your 3DS.
Instructions in the thread I provided.

So normally you need an older DS model (that still runs the cart) in order to update it, but the DSTwo is special and has a secondary update function that usually works (but should not be relied on).
You can't downgrade or rollback a 3DS's firmware at all yet.
So does this work only for NDS games or are 3DS games supported as well?
