• What model DS do you have (NDS, DSi, 3DS or N3DS).
  • If NDS, have you flashed it?
  • If any other DS type, what firmware does it run, for your cart migh not have a kernel and firmware that isn't blacklisted.
• What expansion pack do you mean? you mean GBA RAM pack or something? https://www.ezflash.cn/ maybe?
• For R4 it counts to say you need latest firmware not of any R4iSDHC, but for www.R4iSDHC.com (not.com.cn or anything) and since it's not working anymore you'll need to see the internet archive for the last known kernel.
• EZflash needs to be latest firmware also.
• Check if this all fails the contacts in your DS cardridge slot to be bend correctly (all pins should be bend to touch the crardridge.
• The same goes for the Slot-2 (GBA slot)

1 https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/FlashMe
2 Those are modified kernels, wood and YS menu.
3 You mean like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DS_Browser
That works only if you have Wifi setup and linked (WEP encryption is supported, WPA encryption is not.).
I'm not sure if this works just like a rom so i've got my doubts running it from the r4 cart.
You can use https://gbatemp.net/threads/ds-i-3d...-ds-i-games-and-ds-i-menu-replacement.472200/ pressing y at some point? https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/TWiLight_Menu++ i don't know, never used a browser on a NDS for securety reasons.
If your cart boots don't touch the pins, they're fragile, but i repaired 2 NDSes with a dental hook bending the pins in both slots aa little so it touches the cartridge pins better.

Then might i suggest you ask this at the github of NeoDS? for this seems to be NeoDS failing not the expansion pak, nor the rest of your software.
At least change the topic, for it's rather misleading.

Wut github?

 

[JaapDaniels]

Wut github?

https://github.com/Yardape8000/NeoDS i mean: https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/NeoDS for it's still active.

If you have a supported flashcard with external ram in the GBA slot, NeoDS will use the extra ram to cache more data.
This will improve the speed of some games, but is never required.
The main gui screen will display the text SLOT2 if this feature is active.

That means it might work with your NDS-card but i doubt it will.

It talks about other RAM cards, but doesn't talk about how it works later.

Only one build of NeoDS is compatible with the EZ3in1, it's this one :

http://www.mediafire.com/?mvlbdcpqj3rzwhq

With your R4 model, you need to bypass your firmware with a homebrew loader compatible with the EZ3in1, to do that you have to use YSmenu or HBmenu v0.4.1, for me, since you are trying to do it, I think the simplest way is to use hbmenu, download version 0.4.1 of hbmenu which is there:
https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/dshomebrew/hbmenu.7z

1. Put the hbmenu .nds file on the root of your sd (you can rename it if you don't want to get another BOOT.nds file)
2. Put the NeoDS .nds file anywhere you want on your sd card (same, you can rename it if you want to use few NeoDS build and don't be confused by the same names of different builds for example rename the NeoDS.nds file wich is compatible with EZ3in1 by NeoDSEZ.nds)
3. Put your neogeo roms that you want to use with the EZ3in1 build of NeoDS on the root of your sd card

To sum up :

1. Put your hbmenu .nds file on the root of your sd and rename the boot.nds by hbmenu041.nds
2. Put your NeoDS EZ3in1 comp' on the root of your sd and rename it by NeoDSEZ.nds
3. Put your neogeo roms on the root of your sd


Note :

1. Renaming the .nds files is not an obligation but greatly facilitates organization, particularly if you use several versions of launchers and several versions of the same emulator

2. the compatible version of NeoDS with the EZ3in1 can only view 64 roms placed at the root of your sd card, this is why version 0.2.1 is complementary to benefit from the rest of the neogeo romset and it is also for this reason it is simpler to rename .nds files so as not to confuse them


This for me is the simplest and most effective solution, I hope you will finally be able to make it all work.
I also hope I was clear in my explanations.


If it works, all you have to do is sort out the roms you want to use with the EZ version and with version 0.2.1 which will allow you to play the other games in the catalog, I still recommend that you favor the fighting games and some other games that are a little resource-intensive, notably those mentioned in the few lines above the screen print in this post:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/neods-update.374204/page-3#post-9226971

After that, if it still doesn't work, you will have to seriously ask yourself whether the problem is not a hardware problem, which involves two possibilities: either it comes from your EZ3in1, or it comes from slot-2 of your DS, to check, you will first have to test other homebrews compatible with the EZ3in1, in the second case, you will simply have to test a GBA cartridge in slot-2 of your DS
