Hacking Problem with R4

[ilinkaleria]

Hi
So i`ve tried to revive a r4 that i have since 2014 or so, i formated it to fat32, downloaded and tried different kernels, but every time i put the r4 in my dsl, it shows an metroid prime hunters demo version preview icon (though i formated the microsd) and when i tap it there`s a message that a system file is missing
i just tried to play pokemon platinum help i`m stuck thx in advnce

i tried to install a 2013 kernel so now i get the same metriod preview icon, and then just a black screen

Never Mind.. u did already.. (Ya, best show a pic of the card, so that we can exact see wich kind of the R4 it is. There are different types with different firmwares around.)

 

[master801]

Try this firmware:

thanks, should i format it again? and is there any special way to put to ROM on the flash, like downloading it to the root, or in a folder named rom|games whatever?

Just extract the firmware to the root directory.

No need for reformat except the card is not recocnized. Just extract the folders / files to the root of the card.

The kernel you sent worked, thank you very much!

The games can be on the root of the SD or on a folder (for keeping things clean and tindy) as save games will be created on the same folder where the games are. If you put them on the root folder it will become messy at some point.

If you try any of the previously shared kernels post back if it did or dind't work and include any error message that pops out.

I tried the link @master801 gave me, it worked, however i played for 5 minutes till the game black screened
though I'm not sure what's the problem, it still works after all

There is actually a hidden updated kernel that not many people know about. It may help with compatibility. (It can even be updated with DAT files provided by RetroGameFan). I have it here: https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/flashcard-archive/raw/main/BL2CK/BL2CK_1.30.3.7z

If games are still blackscreening I have other things we could try.

Thanks, I'll try this one out if more blackscreen will occur while playing

hi again, sorry for disturbing, i`ve discovered that i can`t access in-game stuff that requires wi-fi, i get black screen as soon as my DS tries to connect, is there any possible way to fix that?

Are your ROMs trimmed, by any chance?
