How exactly does one set up an r4i gold 3ds (picture included) on a new 3ds xl 10.1.0-27U? I believe it uses wood, but I'm unsure of the process on how to use wood.

you would put the file and folder of the 1.64 wood kernel zip on the root of your micro sd card along with some games or homebrew and have a great time.

you could downgrade if you were before 9.2

if your 3ds above 4.5 you don't set it up at all. just put it in a drawer.
I'm pretty sure that card supports higher firmwares than that since it worked for me on 6.0 when i used it.

I don't think r4i Gold 3DS Revolution for DS support the lastest 10.1 firmware, but you can atleast try download the newest Wood Kernel on http://www.r4ids.cn/r4i-download-e.htm and put on a microSD card that you use with the r4i Gold card.

If it doesn't work then buy a new flashcard that works with the lastest firmware. I highly recommend Super DSTWO.

Go to the address printed on the card, download the kernel files, place them on a microSD card, along with some .nds games (either in the root of the mSD or in a "games" folder). That's it.

If it doesn't work... Return it.

I had one just like yours and it was DOA. It was stuck in a white screen. And I'm not the only one. Many people complained that this card is a hit or miss, including the reseller. Then I exchanged it for a "R4i Gold Pro" that has a different website printed on it (but from the same reseller). Works just fine.

If yours says something about "Konami Digital Entertainment" or something like that on the homescreen of the 3DS, it's running the latest firmware. You don't need to update it (well, rather... you can't update it; there's nothing to "update" to). But you do need to download and place the kernel files on the flashcart's microSD card.

Nintendo stopped blocking DS flashcarts since the 6.x days.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
