Hacking I need help identifying this R4 clone card

[Horison479]

Recently I was digging up some stuff and found this bootleg R4 cart. The label is wearing off but it says "1500 Games DSI SNES, NES, Master System, Mega Driver (supposed to be Mega Drive, aka Genesis" in Portuguese. There is no website on the back and when I boot it up it gives me a white screen. I really want to boot it up again to see my old games and save files.

This is an r4i-gold.eu cart that has been relabeled. Its a DEMON HW clone, so you should be able to run YSMenu on it if you follow this guide: https://sanrax.github.io/flashcart-guides/cart-guides/r4i-sdhc/
Make sure you correctly format the MicroSD as per the link given in Step 1
(It probably won't run the other kenel, R4iMenu as it will likely trigger the fake card message)

After I installed YSMenu, the cartridge says "ERROR" upon boot and it does nothing. What do I do now? Btw I have a Old 3DS XL, sorry I didn't mention that

That error can mean either its not able to read the MicroSD card due to a formatting issue, or it doesn't like the R4.dat file. There is an alternatice one but I want to check what MicroSD card are you using (brand and capacity), and what files are on your MicroSD?

It's 8 Gigabytes, but I don't think it has a brand, all the microSD says is "CLASS" and a barely readable holographic sticker on the back saying "HMPX"? "HMPK"? Whatever. Can I transfer over the files from this SD over to another SD (the only one I have is 16 Gigabytes, will it work?)

Yeah those unbranded MicroSD cards are extemely low quality and there is a good chance its starting to fail.
The 16GB card you have should work fine too assuming its also not some no-name card, but make sure to format it following this guide: https://dsi.cfw.guide/sd-card-setup.html its important to use the SD Formatter tool it links to as the built in Windows one is not very good (It says DSi but it applies to R4 cards too).

After that, put a fresh install of YSMenu onto it: https://sanrax.github.io/flashcart-guides/cart-guides/r4i-sdhc/ and then put your games etc. onto it.
