Why do you choose V1.44 patch for r4igold non-3ds?
Have you pressed KEY_B during the updating process?
You can judge your card is 3ds or not by this way.

Please select the correct patch.

I download the latest wood r4 again ( 1.48 i think) and tried to do the The DSi V1.44 Patch for R4i Gold 3DS(for R4i gold 3DS card only)(Mar.29,2012) on a NDSL. I pressed B when i booted the patch, and i got this:
Card Type : R4i Gold N3DS
System Ver: 3DS 1.0 NDSi 1.41
Then i pressed A and :
Card Check : Fail
Result : Press KEY_A Again
i tried a couple of times but no luck.... :(

Oh,also the working card from which i started the patch is M3 DS Real.... I dont know if this affects the patch,so i let you know that....

the other one is the working one

i used the DSi version to update a card on a Phat DS

they made a mistake by labling as people didnt read the read me propperly

the DS version is for Broken Cards (where the header became corrupt in the updating progress), the DSi is for working cards

I know what i'm about to say sounds stupid, but it worked for me.
Load up the patcher on your DS, press B, have it say fail.
Take the R4 out of you ds (with the patch screen still up), take it completely out.
Put it back in and press Key_A again.

Don't know why it worked, but it did.

It could be a connection problems, I found it very rare for the R4i Gold, but not impossible.
Check out this guide, it maybe for the Acekard, but I have found this work with my R4 and M3 Real when it had problems like this.

PanayiotisHouliaras,it seems that the website on the sticker of your card is www.r4ids.com. Have you bought it a long time ago?It may be released by a different team.Please send a mail to [email protected] to get more technical support.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
