Go onto 3ds.guide and follow the steps for ntrboot (just the card setup, not the actual CFW setup)
It obviously says my card isn't compatible. Is there a way to restore a backup of a working card to my incompatible r4? The use it to flash ntrboot to it? I know it's a likely brick but i don't really mind.
I already tried one i found and it failed to restore saying not compatible

Looks like built in checks to stop you from bricking your card?

Shame....

It's not the end of the world it's just annoying to set the date backwards by a year or two to make it work again. Just wish the cards were flashable and someone could modify the file so it expired in like 2090 or something ha ha.
I wonder if cfw devs could just add an option to force twl firm to have the wrong date, so all timebomb cards would be "fixed"
I have a R4 SDHC, and if you use this kernel, there is no timebomb:

The problem is we already own R4i card. So if they can support all then we don't need to waste more money. I already have 4 r4i carts including dual core one. So yeah It bother's me to buy another one.
The timebomb is "fixeable" either by seeting date to something that was or by not using their firmware. Also, the timebombing should not affect NTRboot.
BTW is the dualcore really a clone? What is the original card?

They are working on supporting as many cards as they can. The problem is not all cards are flashable. Flashcards are for the most part read-only, which means you CAN'T write to them even if you wanted to. The devs have RE a few to achieve flashing (I believe the AceKard2i IS flashable OOB but don't quote me on that) so that we could use the "most" common cards.
I mean I guess it sucks if you bought some flashcards YEARS ago and want to use them, but I'd say you're overdue for a new purchase anyway. I know they plan to add at least two more cards, but I highly doubt every card/clone you MAY have is going to be supported. You can't have a PC from 2010 on windows XP and get upset that a program/game released in 2017 doesn't work on it, or isn't planned to be worked on to be compatible.

According to the "little birds" the R4 Dual core is supposedly being worked on
EDIT: Confirmed
Incomplete Cards
- R4 SDHC Dualcore

Yeh I have seen that. That's why I said (Hope they get it work soon.).According to the "little birds" the R4 Dual core is supposedly being worked on
