I should have asked this first. Does it fit tightly?
The card fits just right

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

So , what do you think , the Launcher Is broken or maybe the problem is something else ?

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

On my ds works only when i push really Deep the card

Hello.

Same card, same issue here.

What I've come to understand is:

r4-gold.com made this card, and due to the way these clone cards work they have timebomb-firmware, meaning that the old firmwares will just display an error message upon boot explaining you have the wrong or out of date firmware.

Unfortunately r4i-gold.com is gone, so when I tried using r4i-gold.eu firmware it booted fine however after trying to select a game it then tells me that I must use the .com firmware, as seen in a photo in a previous post by OP's.

Is there another way that doesn't involve changing the time/date? The EU firmware will work but perhaps there's a way of changing what part of the firmware checks for the correct card, if that could be changed or the timebomb changed then this would solve the issue.

To get the card works i just changed the date to 2010
