I live in america, they do not sell them in stores where i live, it won't mean that other places are different. I had to buy them online, and i wouldn't know if i am buying a clone or not. Except that they seem to stop working after specific period of time. My acekard 2i, ACE 3ds, does nothing when i insert the cart, i tried everything. Somehow my r4 SDHC still works, with some japanese konami game the system detects, and i can't find my Supercard DSTWO, which still has my 32GB Sd card in it. I took it out to play some super smash bros, and now i can't find it. If i had to buy so many flash carts to find one that actually is reliable, that is a problem. :mellow:

Well, I bought mine online as well. I currently own an R4i-SDHC 3DS RTS, it's a very good cart, and I also own an old weird R4 and Acekard clone, the R4Ultra. That one only works on my DSlite though, not even the DSi boots it.

Hi there :D
What firmware should I use on this one? Thanks! :)

It's weird 'cause it has the WiFi symbol but no "i" or yellow pointy baloon with a FW version...and clearly on r4i-sdhc, there's nothing :D

@ScarletDreamz Hi!
I have the same issue that nooby89 have (the 3ds doesn't recognize the flashcard).
I have the same card except that on my cart there is wrote '1.4.2' so I guess I should use 1.4.1-1.4.5 firmware...
Well either in emunand or sysnand (Luma3ds) it doesn't work.
How can I fix?

Well no error.
Simply it's not recognized by the 3ds in any way.
I put the cart in 3ds slot "the things on upper screen" vortex but nothing appears, like being without the cartridge.
I tried with twl and it gaves me "press power blablabla" error.

If nothing appears when inserting the cartridge, it can only be 2 things, the cart its damaged, or the pins are not connecting fully, when the r4 does not even have an SD in, it still displays a cartridge due to the files beeing on the small nand of the chip, however, if there is no image from the cartridge, then its a hardware issue. pins or damaged cart

Hello! Somehow my R4 is working...but it's using an old firmware (http://filetrip.net/f22650-R4-SDHC-Upgrade-(r4i-sdhc-com)-1-27b-English.html) and i had to manually set the date back to 2010 (to """fix""" the error about the expired firmware)...Where can i find an updated version? Thanks :) *Image of the R4 is a few posts above*
Helo, You Cant! ;D

Some R4 had a kernel that has an Expiration Date inside their system, therefore, you will always need to be on a certain date range in order to make it work. theres no solution to this, since its cartridge based, not system based.

http://r4ds.com
I believe this is the website
http://tiny.cc/zxbaey Here, the last kernel available for your device.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though

    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
