Hacking Need help with my old R4 Card

[fndrx]

Hi guys,

Years ago I have bought the R4 SDC Dual-Core Card ( from 2016 ). Unfortunately I cannot post a picture, but it literally says :

R4 2016
SDHC
3DS DSi
Dual-Core
Smart-Update

Now I want to start using my 3DS again, which is btw up 2 date ( 11.8.0 if i remember correctly , I just updated it yesterday so its basically the newst version available atm ). I tried updating the R4 card, by simply downloading the newest firmware I have found ( I tried different firmwares btw ) , copied it on the root of the SD card ( its formatted with fat32 ) and that should be it.
However , once I start it it gives me the cant find _dsmneu.dat error. I have tried different firmwares and renaming the r4.dat to _dsmenu.dat , but neither did work.
What am I doing wrong, does some one have an idea ?

thanks in advance !

R4i SDHC Dual-Core (2016) uses the default R4 kernel which has a time bomb. I recommend you use YSmenu:
