@Kubas_inko I did try the "DSi/DS functionality is broken after completing the guide" but I had no good result.Also i did try a hack called DSMenu++ but that ended pretty badly.

I dunno that card, but my cards (primarily a DSTwo) works fine on my new 3ds after CFW installed. Only my dstt stopped working,and that's because I sacrificed it to load nitohax or something while installing cfw, but I'm not too worried given I had a better card anyway and don't think it would even work on new 3ds anyway given how old it is (1st era of DS flash carts)

Also i did try a hack called DSMenu++ but that ended pretty badly.

With that, you shouldn't even need a flashcard, it loads ROMS right off the system's sdcard. How did it end badly?

@tbb043 I got CFW using ntrboot.After that i restored my flash card to be able to play the ds games(The card now only works on my DSiXL but on 2DS just crashes.

Also about the DSMenu++ when i press Start it just crashes too lol(tried fixing the black screen but didnt work)

First, verify that the 2DS system can play from real DS game carts or DSiWare games. This is to double check if DS(i) mode or TWL_FIRM is correctly set up.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the R4iSDHC Dual-Core 20XX flashcart has a time bomb that prevents it from working when a certain date is reached. You'll need the YSMenu kernel to bypass it.

I don't know what else to tell you.

If you followed this troubleshooting mentioned by @Kubas_inko,
, by downloading those *.cia files using a bittorrent client like Deluge and installing them with FBI, your old 2DS (I presume) should have had its DS(i) mode fixed.


A way to test this out would have been to try installing and playing some DSiWare games or using another DS game cart. Once you can verify your old 2DS can in fact handle DS(i) titles (correct me if I'm wrong that your system happens to be n2DSXL), I would have recommended putting the YSMenu kernel on the flashcart's micro SD card to see if this changes anything.


If you have Luma3DS installed on the CTRNAND, you can try booting the 2DS without its SD card inserted and then try launching that R4iSDHC Dual-Core 2014 flashcart. This would eliminate guessing if the problem is coming from that SD card inserted in the 2DS (not the micro SD card inserted in the flashcart).


After exhausting those previous advice in fixing the DSi firmware, using DSiWare & DS cart games, and putting YSMenu kernel on the flashcart, maybe your 2014 model is blocked from the DS whitelist. You could try bypassing this with one of apache's launchers:

If nothing else works, maybe the 2DS game cart reader is busted. The only way to check is to borrow and play with a DS or 3DS game cart.


Last but not least would be to ditch using that troublesome cart (made by r4isdhc.com) on the 2DS and get the much better R4i Gold 3DS Plus (made by r4ids.cn) if your budget allows it. If not, you'll have to settle with playing *.nds roms off the 2DS SD card using TWiLight Menu++.

Thanks for all the help! I will try these pretty soon! :D

  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
