I used the thing to revert back to "DS Games playable" mode, and it f up my card.
It freezes my 3DS when it boots with it inside.

Mine does the same thing. Official R4i B9S Card and the flasher has bricked my card. The irony is, this was sent to my website for reviewing purposes....

now this is only if you decide to use the Flasher the site provides, right? Cause I don't plan on re-flashing it to play games off it, so i'll be fine, right?

You're amazingly persistent. Remind me never to get on your bad side!!!
I got blocked by the M3 Team. I still proudly boast that fact to this very day.
But I would like an email back from the R4i-SDHC team, they did say I won ;O;

okay, I got my flash cart in and I feel like a big dumb-dumb at the moment: I followed the instructions on 3DS.guide and I'm still stuck on the black screen. do I have to actually flash my cart or does it already come pre-flashed or what am I doing wrong other than buying this?

my god, wait r4i team update how to fix the issue~:rofl2:
How about a hell no -- they're the ones who created this problem.
I'd rather they step aside and let the ntrboot_flasher homebrew team fix their mess. They already have read/write RE'd and working.

Should have ntrboot_flasher compatibility for r4-b9s and r4i-sdhc added fairly soon, hopefully. This would already be fixed by now if r4i team had released the flasher source as they are obligated to do per GPL.

2017/10/12(updated)– about R4i B9S Card brick

The r4i-sdhc team replied to me just now about the R4i B9S card brick issue.

They apologized that when releasing the flasher they haven’t considered the problem that each R4i B9S card has a different KEY, which led to failure in being recognized by the software.

In addition, for customers who has a R4i B9S card brick, the factory is willing to resend a free new R4i B9S card. So please contact them at email address: [email protected]

Hereby thanks in advance for their initiative to take the responsibility!

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
