Hacking Help finding r4 kernel

[Wheelkirby]

I made the dumb mistake of deleting _dsmenu.dat while getting rid of some unused roms and now i can't find it anywhere after about 5 hours of intense googling
i gave up if anyone can find the kernel for this card (i think it was wood) i'd be extremely grateful there is a picture of the card attached i'm pretty sure is a clone the icon is deep labyrinth ATLUS usa

the website on the card is a really great start on where to look,

if you have no luck there, goto https://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/

i managed to find the exact kernel i was using on linfox domain it was woodv162 but even having the exact kernel that worked before it still presents the "can't open _dsmenu.dat" error i tried naming the file _dsmenu.dat _DSMENU.DAT _DS_MENU.DAT _ds_menu.dat and i even tried formatting the sd nothing seems to work i know the micro sd works because my pc reads it just fine so i really don't know what to do

Try using this guide

you should be able to find one that works plus the ysmenu will make it so that your card wont fail after a few years.

The menu might not be as fancy as what you had, but its very functional.

Hey, I have the same card. I'll dump the DSMenu.dat once I get home.

 

[Wheelkirby]

OMG!! thank you so much, are you sure it's the exact same card cause mine seems to be really picky

 

[JellyPerson]

My card pretends to be Deep Labyrinth also

You have no idea how relieved you've made me

Mind to tell me what`s the filesize of your dsmenu.dat file?

And yes, your flashcart is a clone, just like both of mine. I've got a 2014 and a 2017, but they don't work with the same kernel. The 2014 works with Wood, the other one doesn't. Maybe my Wood's _DSMENU.DAT file would be of some use for you.

Rename the attachment's file extension into capital DAT, had to rename it into TXT to be able to upload it. Hope it's OK to upload it here.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! this one worked! although no text is showing (on the menu the games run fine)

EDIT: Got the text to work just had to edit globalsetting.ini
