i recently purchased an r4 gold pro card and is not working on my new 3DSXL (v11.5.0-38U), the card is using the 3.9b kernel which the website i bought it from says works with my 3ds software version
the website i bought it from was recommend to me, and i read on a forum that said it was a trustworthy site. so i don't think the card is fake, but let me know if it is.(pics linked)
link here: http://3ds-flashcard.com/home/58-r4i-gold-pro-2017r4-for-2ds-n3ds-xl-dsi-xl-nds.html

my 3ds recognizes the game, but when i try to load it i get a black screen and nothing else.
the card does however boot on my old ds lite, but the top screen barely works, so its not good for playing games.

any help would be appreciated. this is my first post, so let me know if i am doing anything wrong :).

things I have already tried:
- using another sd card
- formatting the card as FAT32 ,FAT ,exFAT, and NTFS(a desperate move)
- using an older kernel
- using a kernel for a different card
- blowing on the cartridge and card slot

This looks like a time bomb card,I hope you can figure out how to use it.
no, i don't think so. the card will still boot on a ds lite, as i said in the original post

Try installing the cias from ghis guide:
https://3ds.guide/troubleshooting

Worked for me when getting black screen
i think you got the wrong idea, my 3ds is not permantly black screened, if i restart it runs just fine. only the R4 gives me a black screen. but i will give it a shot anyway.

Bomb card? Boots r4.dat for the kernel? Here ya go

Just duel boot your stock kernel (one from the website it tells you to download) so you can still run dsiware enhanced games like black and white.

so, i replaced my r4.dat with this one, and it hasent done much :(.
still wont boot on the 3ds, and tells me "no boot loader" on the ds lite.
although, i think i may be doing it wrong.
