Hello,
I am thinking about buying new flash card as i couldnt get over White Screen (clicking on cartridge, screens turns to white and nothing - i tried to install every kernel i could find and nothing
so i am deciding on new flash card - i knwo that some of them are time blocked or brick easily.
I have NDS Lite

I heard a lot about R4 gold, but i am thinking also about R4 SDHC Dual Core, or pure R4 SDHC for NDS Lite
what do you think?

Spend the extra couple of dollars and get a good flashcart

The R4(i)-SDHC have so many issues, the biggest being that the official kernel has timebomb built into them to "lock" the cart after a set date. The R4i Gold Plus running Wood R4 doesn't suffer from that issue and is all around a far better cart.

thanks, i am afraid of tmie bomb as i think that is reason why my dual core stopped working
To be fair, you can replace the kernel with Retro's files and that will bypass the timebomb as the timebomb was only built into the kernel itself and not the cart. But the R4i-SDHC carts are super cheaply made and I've heard of them just failing randomly, not to mention the other issue that all R4i-SDHC carts are literally the same cart
