So, my old DSi XL has a huge crack in the top LCD screen, and some weird ink is slowing out of it, creating a huge black spot on it. I've had this for years now, and haven't touched that DSi in years either.
Now, yesterday, I decided to buy myself a new DS, but also one that could play 3DS games because that's what all the new games gets made on. I ended up deciding on a 2DS for price reasons (Student life, yo)
Upon doing a quick inspection of my old DS, I found that my old R4 card claims it works on a 3DS, but upon trying to use it on my 2DS, however, it claims it doesn't work and tells me to restart. Thinking it was probably due to its age, I quickly recharged my old DSi to a point where it would start, and tried my R4 on there, and it worked without issue.
Now, after doing a quick google search, this R4 card is apparently not the best one you can get, in fact, most people apparently say its garbage, and that its quite common for it to arrive dysfunctional. However, since I've used it for a couple years, and it still works on my old DSi, I'd still like to give it a try.
My question is, is this simply a case of old firmware, or is it falsely advertised as being able to work on a 3DS (because if so, I'll just get my LCD screen fixed and gift them to my 12 year old brother for now)
