Hello. Unfortunately, I ended up buying this R4 clone: "R4 SDHC Dual-Core "Revoloution". Would anyone have a working Kernel for it? I downloaded several here on the website, none of them worked. I'm going to use it on the DS Lite.
Below is the image of the R4 card. I'm from Brazil, it's very difficult to find this content here.

It stays forever on the black screen "Loading..." I use an original 32GB SanDisk, formatted in fat32

Does "DS_MENU.dat" and/or "_DS_MENU.dat" exist on the SD root?

The root of the SD looked like this, after adding the files you provided above.

Unfortunately it didn't work, it stuck on the black "Loading..." screen.

Try reformatting the SD card using this guide then: https://dsi.cfw.guide/sd-card-setup.html

Following the tutorial, I formatted the 2 SD cards I have here, one 32g and one 2gb, the 2gb one is running on another old R4 I have here (this old R4 works normally, but only supports 2gb). On both screens, the screen was frozen at "Loading...", even after formatting following the tutorial, even using the 2 kernels available in this topic

Remove the .dat files on the root, and try again. Does the screen change?

I formatted the card again, passed the files from the first kernel you sent, deleted the .dat files, the black "Loading..." screen appeared. I repeated the procedure and used the other kernel provided above, the same black "Loading..." screen appeared.

Please post a photo of the back of the card.

Please don't link to random kernels that haven't been tested out with this card.

You have an R4DS Pro, TWL++ will work with these carts.
Follow the instructions here: https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/twilightmenu/installing-flashcard

Your screenshot shows _DS_MENU.dat and _DSMENU.DAT . The earlier post referenced DS_MENU.dat and/or _DS_MENU.dat. These are not the same.

So what happens if you try renaming one of them to DS_MENU.DAT?

 

[cehenriquesimoes]

I'm a layman, I managed the first part, moved: _nds, BOOT.NDS and roms. It got stuck on the "Loading..." screen. I went to the 2nd step, since my console is the DS Lite, it moves Autoboot to the flashcard, then I don't know which one to move. Here's the image for you to show me:

In the third step, about Flashcart Loader, I also don't know which one to use, sorry for my ignorance. Here's the image:

I carried out the test. I took the available kernel, formatted the card again and renamed the files, but the result is the black "Loading..." screen.

"Autoboot\r4dspro.com" - copy those files INSIDE of the folder to the root of the SD card.

 

[cehenriquesimoes]

I did the procedure, formatted the card and let the DS LITE start automatically, passed the files as indicated in the tutorial, and finally the files in that folder that you indicated, became the root of the SD:

Now it has changed a little, the screen has become completely white, how do I proceed with the 3rd step? What files do I need to put in the "Flashcart Loader" folder?
