Try what it does – there is even a version of AKAIO on the r4ultra page. If that works it's probably quite good.


Please do not post your question in multiple locations next time – this can get confusing.

AceKard clone it seems, you could try original acekard software

What you have downloaded are different versions of the "Kernel". This does not change what game the flashcart tries to spoof. This needs a flashcart firmware update. The "An error has occured" message just means: "Flashcart blocked by the DSi". The kernel you put on the micro-SD is not even loaded because of the blocking.

The following options come to my mind:

1. Install unlaunch: https://dsi.cfw.guide/

This disables the whitelist and signature checks and could possibly get your R4 usable (at least it worked with an AceKard 2i for me – which is blocked by 1.4.5). If you only want to get the flashcart working you can stop following the guide after installing unlaunch. But installing HiyaCFW and TWiLight Menu++ is a good alternative to a flashcart. Even if you do not want to use Hiya/TWilight please do not skip the NAND-backup step before installing unlaunch.

One warning: unlaunch does some non-optional(!) patches to the System Menu not everybody likes:

• No "Health and Safety Warning" screen
• No music and no sound in System Menu

2. Replace your R4 with a newer one: [nds-card.com] R4i Gold 3DS Plus.
3. Update the flashcart firmware:

• A flashcart might brick if flashed with the wrong or bad image or if anything goes wrong.
• You would need another DS system which allows booting the flashcart in it's current state (DS-Lite|Phat or 3DS with custom firmware) to update the firmware.
• I have downloaded the file under R4i fw update for 3DS 2.1 on the r4ultra homepage and got this comment showing in my archive manager (so maybe it works for 1.4.3E – but do not update the DSi!):

For reference because @JaapDaniels mentioned this to be an AceKard clone: https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Updating_the_AK2i_Bootloader
I have no idea if flashing an official Acekard 2i update (which go up to 1.4.4) would brick the cart and I personally would only try the one from r4ultra.com

Akaio is acekard's original menu, there used to be a hw identivier app in homebrew, with this identivier we could get certainety of wich card is internal... it gives a hw id number of the flashkard, wich is back traceble to firmware and kernel compatiblity.
