Hacking Getting the "Wrong date or firmware expired!" message on my 2019 r4isdhc

[LizardGenes]

Hi everyone,

Setting the DS clock back to 2018 resolves the issue, but is there a kernel that I can download to fix this issue? The information on my flashcard is:

2019 R4 3DS upgrade
SDHC Revolution for 3DS, DSI XL/LL DSL DS
RTS Lite Real Time Save r4isdhc

I'm using an original DS to run it. I assume I have to go to the site printed on the card to locate the updated kernel, but which one should I download?

Many thanks in advance.

Try R4 Wood?

Ok thanks, should I use V1.62? Also, how do I replace my current one, R4i-V3.9b, with it?

Afaik, you just need to copy the files from the archive to the root of the microSD.
I'm not to versed on R4 cards but that should be the latest firmware?
Not that DS flashcards have seen many updates since 2015 ish.

I'd make a backup of your microSD or atleast copy the firmware files on the microSD to your PC before messing with it.
In case something goes wrong.

No worries, will give that a try thanks. If it doesn't work it's no big deal, as I'm fine with just rolling the internal clock back a year.

You shouldn't need to worry about the timebomb cards with the proper firmware ;p
It's hard to brick the card or mess it up since all it's doing is bootstrapping its firmware from the microSD.
In fact, you could write your own kernel if you had the skills.
The card would happily accept it if it you package it properly.

Anway, it's been years since I done anything with the DS, apologies if it sounded unhelpful or cryptic.
Good luck with it mate!

If it uses R4.dat instead of _ds_menu.dat then you can use ysmenu, r4i-sdhc.com iirc cards use r4.dat and are actually dstt clones, kernels are encrypted so you can't use anything other than ysmenu
