Correct kernel for this R4?

[Fabimawn]

Hello everyone,

So today I've got my R4 I ordered from Alie, however no instructions came with to set it up, so I just went to the site noted on the cart, however it seems to be dead when trying to download anything from it. Then I tried to put different versions of wood on it, but alas.
I've included some pictures, hopefully someone knows which CPU this cart has and which kernel works with it?

Whenever trying to use the upper kernel like BL2CK I had the most luck with a white screen, the others were just stuck at a loading screen.

Since my account is new, so I can't seem to send links yet which is dumb.

*update, I've found that the R4i3d 2013 firmware works with it, is there a wood version that might work with this cart?

This is an R4DSPro clone and should use the R4DSPro version of BL2CKOS

Thanks for the reply.
Sadly using that version results in a white blank screen.

I've found out new weird things about this card. Like I said earlier, when using "2013 r4i3d-kernel" it works, but not completely. Plants vs Zombies won't load I just discovered. Last night I found the "2012 r4i3d-kernel" also on GBAtemp, and Plants vs zombies will actually load, but any text in Wood isnt displaying, even though I've got themes installed. I dont know whats going on. Does anyone know this R4 clone chip, and if theres any new version of Wood or YS menu that works on this cart?
This cart could be a hidden gem since it's speed is really good when loading games (and it fixed a short freeze when loading audio in Farm Frenzy with other popular R4 clones (why I bought this one in the first place)), and its cheap, so I hope a good kernel can be found for this cart. I still cant send any links which doesnt help.

Lol TWYmenu++

Anyway you might as well try the correctly-spelled one

https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases/download/v27.5.0/TWiLightMenu-Flashcard.7z

Run boot.nds on it, keep nds-bootstrap as the loader for ds games and you might be able to run games with it that the r4i3d kernel doesnt do

If you like it then you might be able to autoboot it, I would probably try the one in "R4 Ultra, r4ids.cn cards, R4iTT 3DS, R4i3D 2012+, r4isdhc.com NEW, r4isdhc.com 2013, r4isdhc.hk -2019, r4igold.cc 3DS translucent, r4i-gold.me 2013+" considering that r4i3d 2012 and 2013 kernels work on it

Thanks Ill try when I come home from the plane. This cart already autoboots, and there doesnt seem a way to turn it off, so that's fine I guess.

Autoboot as in boot directly into twilightmenu when the flashcart starts up, instead of having to run boot.nds

Oh ok, yea that would be pretty nice
