Hi guys,

I own an Old 3DS v10.2.0.28E

I just bought and also received a R4i Gold 3DS Revolution for DS (see picture below) and just figured out it can only read *.nds format and not *.3ds

My question (All related to this flashcard mentioned above):
1.
Is it true it can only read NDS files?
2. Is there any way to read 3ds files?
3. Is this card able to read CIA files? If yes, would it be possible to convert a 3ds file into CIA file and run it on my new Flashcard?
4. If there is no way to play 3ds files on this flashcard, could you suggest a flashcard to me which is able to read and play 3DS files?
5. If there are already threads about this subject could you please give me the link. I couldnt find them.​

1. Yes
2. Sky3DS
3. No way to install CIA files on your FW version
4. Sky3DS is the only one that works on your FW
5. Plenty of them.

Thank You for you answer. Seems like I have to go with Sky3DS. Will order it now. Can u tel me more about this card? Is it easy to use?

Besides some people receiving faulty carts, and having to fiddle with the button doing weird combinations of ejecting, reinserting the cart and pressing the button in order to get things to work, and having to use the DiskWriter to add games to it, it seems easy enough. Note that new first party games won't work with it and possibly future 3rd party games.

Hmm interesting. Thos means it doesnt support 100% 3DS files. But seems like its the only card at all to support 3DS files. At least many 3DS files. Isnt it weird that there is only one flashcard supporting 3DS...

it's the only 3ds flashcards support your firmware version.

precaution: header is really important for playing online.

At least its better than nothing coz we cant downgrade the firmware unfortunately. All I can do is upgrade it to 10.3. Now i need a trusted shop where I can order a SKY3DS card. On sunnday I ordered this R4I Gold card and today on Tuesday I received it. very very fast with tracking number for DHL. I order here https://www.vartis.de/ but they dont have SKY3DS Cards.

Do u or does anybody else know another shop with this TRUSTED SHOP stamp where i can order SKY3DS? Ofc I can google for it but i want your opinions, maybe from your own experience.

Sky3ds emulates a 3ds games. With cfw you have everything but you need a 3ds firmware 9.2 and below.

On their Website its written it supports v10.3. What did u meant with firmware 9.2 and below?

He is saying since u said that your firmware is 10.2.28 it is too high of a firmware to use custom firmware and that u can only use a sky 3ds card to play .3ds files. If your firmware was at 9.2 or lower u would have more options such as using a gateway card or rxtools.
