I need help finding the kernel for the card I uploaded a picture of. I've tried to follow a lot of different tutorials but all of them didn't work.
It's one of those notorious .hk cards that everyone hates on this forum, but every other cart is sold out haha. I'm using this card on an old NDS lite, so I'm not worried about 3ds firmware updates or anything.

Other things:
I'm using a Sandisk 32 GB micro SD, but I can downgrade to a smaller one so that shouldn't be an issue.
Everytime I boot, I am greeted by the cannot open _dsmenu.dat
I sure hope this cart isn't just defective.

The kernels from the r4isdhc.hk website archive don't work unless I'm just installing them incorrectly. I am placing all of the extracted files from that archive into the root of the SD card and have a folder called "games" for my backup roms.

I have since found the correct kernel. If anyone needs it just message me and I will send it to them.
Slap the file in GBATemp's download section, friend.
Be the legend we know you are. Also, in the description, post the image of the card, you smexy person.

Hello! Can I have the kernel too? I have the same card as you and it's not working with any software I try

Hey there! Just got one of these carts as well and am running into the same issue. Could someone share the kernel with me? Thanks ahead of time.

Do you can send me the link please?
Hi, I'm the owner of that repository. It has since moved to here: https://flashcard-archive.ds-homebrew.com/Ace3DS+_R4iLS

I don't think the link will break again, I haven't really changed the folder structures since the move to the DS-Homebrew GitHub organization. We made a proper website for flashcard-archive and the kernels were thus broken again. Fixed it again in case someone looks it up.

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
