Hacking R4 Gold Pro

[SG911]

My cousin bought the R4 gold pro (This one: http://3ds-flashcard.com/375-thickbox_default/r4i-gold-pro-2017r4-for-2ds-n3ds-xl-dsi-xl-nds.jpg) and i was gonna help set it up but don't know what firmware is needed & such?
I also heard about a "Timebomb" Not really knowledgeable on what that is.

Download the kernel from the website on the card.
Timebomb means that the card will stop to work after a specific date. You can bypass it by using ysmenu as kernel or by setting the console date to a previous one.

Gotcha! I saw somewhere that this one apparently doesn't have the whole timebomb thing. Althought i feel like that depends on the kernel used? I have no idea, thank you tho!

The card is from r4isdhc.com and has the label 2018 or 2017, correct? It has a timebomb then (or to be more specific: the official kernel has a timebomb)

Yeah it has 2018 on it. Sucks about the timebomb thing tho, anyway to bypass this or not have to worry about it. That or know when exactly the date is? I tried to google that thing you mentioned.
ysmenu but the website seems to be dead up to a certain point.

This one:

I did run into this thread tho: https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/
so this should help me right?

The date: September 3, 2019
They will probably release a new kernel around that time which has a later expiration date.

I'm having a similar issue and was wondering which is the kernel that should be downloaded from the linked website? I have the same R4 card as the op.
