So I had been using a November nightly of the rxtools, it had a slightly different file system than the newest nightly, rxtools/sys/patches had folders like /ctr and /ktr or something. I decided to upgrade my rxtools to the latest nightly. After upgrading, and replacing the 0004013800000102.elf from the one given here -


I boot to emunand and my flashkart shows up like this-

Does this count as eligible for the Slot-1 launcher? Because when i load it, it doesn't work. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

Edit: I'm using a SC Dsone which is compatible with the Dsone EOS
Edit2: Can anyone atleast tell me if I'm doing the stuff correctly? or give me any pointers where i might be going wrong in process


Edit: Got it to work. Supercard DSOne works, confirmed.

Did not have the time to try, this is a SCDS1, not a DSOnei, right?
I've got to try with my own SCDS1 v3, I'm really happy because my DS Lite seems to have a problem while reading cartridge! Finally a great news for my SCDS1. :)

Okay so I've been trying to make this work on my old (and horribly fake of a fake) DSTTi Clone which was called R4i SDHC Dual Core white. The kernel of it can be downloaded from r4isdhc.hk which has been down for 3-4 years so I have no way of getting data for it. I managed to download RetroGameFan's collection of cart updates for fakes and I got it to work by renaming the ".dat" of a certain clone into a "iLL.iL". It worked on my old ds, but on the 3ds it wouldn't load. After a lot of fiddling, I managed to get this working and it made my pirate heart jump for joy! So I'd like to share some that I did to make this work:

1. The DS Cart should NOT autoboot from a DS. Meaning your card will not work if it autoboots. It must have a banner that you can press on the DS lite and use the cart from there. I have an old R4 that autoboots to moonshell and it won't work on the TWL Launcher. My fake card still needs to be pressed from the old DSlite homescreen to use the cart.
2. I updated my RxTools from 2.6 to 3.0 beta.
3. I replaced the elf file on my RxTools folder. Instructions: https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/453c9w/twl_firm_patches_ʖ_o3ds_only_atm/czuubl5

@Apache Thunder After applying this to my n3DSXL (USA)...
Confirmed to boot YSMenu on R4i-SDHC.hk 'unlimited upgradable'. Believe it's a DSTTi clone, red pcb. Thank you for sharing this man! :grog:

Confirmed R4i gold from r4i-gold.eu works.

I'm using rxTools nightly (not the latest) and I only had to replace the .elf in rxTools/sys/patches with the new one, and running the card from emunand.
