Hacking Unbricking unknown clone cart?

[The Real Jdbye]

I'll keep mine in the crappy condition it is (scratches, broken plastic, and cartridge coming apart because I took it apart, and it just won't stick together, so it's taped together)

These carts have the same file structure as the one you mentioned. _rpg folder, with r4_sd.dldi etc inside it. It's more likely one of those. Hopefully it's not one of the older models on the site, as the download links for them are all dead.
Those carts are also white and they have notches on the sides the same way your bootleg cart does.

I just can't keep up with typing I knew this was the best place, where there are so many helpful people (and just wait, I'll thank it with my secret prototype homebrew I'm working on for the 3DS)

You can find firmware updates on http://www.r4isdhc.hk/r4-download/ one of them might work for your cart. There are a bunch of different carts on that page so I guess you'll just have to try them all starting from the top, as the top carts seem to be newer models. You'll need to run the firmware update from a working flashcart and then swap it for your broken one (needs to be done on a DS, not a DSi or 3DS as hotswapping carts only works on the original DS phat/lite)

I don't see how the cart could have spontaneously bricked though. It sounds like it could be a contact issue, even though you said it's not the pins, contact issues cause the exact problem you are facing, it could be due to the pins in the cart slot being pushed in a little, so that the cart no longer makes contact even though it used to work fine. This wouldn't affect legitimate games, but some carts are made with a somewhat thinner PCB than legitimate games and that can cause contact issues down the line.


Edit:

installer.nds is most likely the firmware update so you should try to install that using a working flashcart and a DS lite like I mentioned above.

I don't have another flashcart, I only have SudokuHax
Also, you can swap DS carts on the 3DS. Nevermind, taking out Brain Training blackscreens the DSLite, and freezes the 3DS (the DS program freezes, not the system itself, so I can go back to the menu without rebooting)

You can swap DS carts on the 3DS, but it won't recognize the new cart.

Also, lol. Both downloaded files are the same xD I'll tinker with the downloaded files by order. I'll format my SDCard, because SudokuHax doesn't like the cluster size

Yes, I see. But I has no SudokuHax for the DSLite

Thanks Also, this is a clone, because the original flashcart has "NintenDOGE", and not "NintendoDOGE" written on it (no offense, just a joke, it looks cool )

but i think u got rekt

Me? Nah... Also YAY, I fixed the SudokuHax white screen issue I had to format my GOATWAYNAND card completely with Panoramic SDFormatter, so I'll place the .nds file, and I'll try out the update nds files.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

OHMYPINGAS! It's doing something! It takes forever tho, but it's doing something (I hope it's not messing with my 3DS's something)

"Please cycle power"?

Also nah, it's still broken. Not working on da 3DS, nor on the DSLite

Thanks, but my problem is with the flashcard's contents itself, and not with the sdcard's contents.

I believe sudokuhax doesn't have access to the cartridge slot.
