The link is only to a google image because I do not feel like taking a picture of my own cart when there is on already online. Can anybody please help me with this issue?
As far as I know the original R4 came out before the DSi. With the DSi (and later the 2|3DS) Nintendo started blocking DS flashcarts by putting all DS games that existed to this point on a whitelist – later DS games are digitally signed.
If a cartridge neither is on the whitelist nor contains a valid signature the DSi (2|3DS) refuses to load it.
Later flashcarts contain at least parts of ROMs from the whitelist to get around this check. [background information→ https://hackmii.com/2010/02/lawsuit-coming-in-3-2-1/ ]
For a while Nintendo played a cat and mouse game with flashcart manufacturers. Each update blocked known flashcarts with better checks. Firmware updates changed the game the flashcart tries to mimic. [For example see: https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Updating_the_AK2i_Bootloader]
But as the DS-Lite and DS-Phat did not have such a check… I don’t think the original R4 can get firmware updates at all (the firmware is not the kernel on the micro-SD). Without the possibility to upgrade (rewrite) the firmware, there is no way to replace the firmware with ntrboothax.

It's not the movies or games downloads that I would worry about, like breaking into networks, downloading encrypted things, spying on network traffic. I have seen so many "Top Secret" seals on files when I was a kid
I was obsessed with finding UFOs, a surprising amount of US files where stashed on computers in other countries, China back in the early 90s omg sooo much
