This is the card:
R4i_r2_c4new.jpg

I keep trying to download from anywhere. This was the last one I tried: https://www.r43ds.org/pages/R4-3DS-Dual-Core-New-Firmware.html
Whenever I insert it into my DSI (1.4.5) it keeps saying 'An error has occured. Please turn the system off'

Does anyone know where to find the correct kernel update? I bought this card around two years ago but haven't used it since.

Don't run that kernel as your primary since it has a time bomb.Use this https://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/...rogamefan-multi-cart-update-v7-03-f33204.html Look for sdhc and put all the files on root of your micro sd card,then put this r4.dat on the root https://gbatemp.net/attachments/r4-dat-zip.44557/
i didnt think this version of R4 used r4.dat, but instead _DSMENU.dat

That gives me an error still. And I think it does use DSMENU.dat.

Errors as well. Maybe I should format and try it again. How should I format it? (FAT, FAT32, etc)

Try renaming the r4.dat to _DSMENU.dat then.If that doesn't work then I guess its a different brand then I originally thought it was.

Yes fat32 if it isn't already.

I believe this is the one you want, I have the same one and this is the one that works for me http://web.archive.org/web/20130917...4isdhc-white/2013r4isdhc-whiteEnglish1.52.rar

Which year is at the sticker? Or is it just "New"?
i need help with this issue too, i have a r4 card which has the label new on it , no specific year.
but it is an old one from 2012 perhaps, it says system file is missing for me!!

let me know what i need to place in my mSD, it works with my blue GW card but i have an issue with that gw card ejecting so i want to use this r4 card instead (it used to work just fine, not sure why it suddenly gives me that system file is missing).

Downloading the kernel again might help: https://web.archive.org/web/20130807210454/http://www.r4isdhc.com:80/download_white_new2013/

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • 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.

    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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
