Hey all, a few weeks ago I bought myself an R4 clone (which links to r4i-sdhc.com) that was able to run on the 3DS pretty well.
I played with it for a week or so, and it was fine, although it had to be pushed in very hard in order to be taken out or inserted, but then something happened that made it stop.
I'm not really sure what the cause is, but now when I insert the card, no matter what I do, the cart doesn't register as a game in the 3DS menu. I've tried updating it but that didn't do anything. I also tried playing the cart on a DS Phat but it didn't show up on that either.
I'm not sure if this is an issue with my 3DS getting updated (even though I turned off automatic updates and deleted my internet connection in the system menu) or if the cart has broken from having to be inserted and removed so forcefully. If it was from an update, it would somehow have to have come from my copy of RE The mercenaries 3D, since it seemed to stop working after I played that for the first time.
What I'm considering now is formatting my 3DS, so that the system updates that may have blocked the cart will be gone. The issue though is that I don't know if that will work.
Will formatting my 3DS stop the cart from being blocked?
What will I lose by formatting the 3DS? Plaza hits? Game saves? Anything else?
I also have a gold R4i v1.4 (r4igold.cn) that will appear on the menu but does nothing when booted. Is there a way to get that to work?
Thanks in advance... and my apologies for making such a long post
