Sounds like an interesting idea. Anyone ready for a 6 firmware boot?
Hey if we do it, this card would be the most diverse card out there

Alright here comes M3R_iTDS_PP2 R4iRTS module.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/y2m5nlmjmmj/M3R_R4i.zip

1. put loader.eng, _system_/_sys_data/R4i.sys, _system_/_sys_data/r4_*.ext here.
2. run SakuraMultiBoot.bat
3. install r4irts.nds, _ds_menu.sys to M3 TF
4. install _ds_menu.dat, _system_/* to M3 TF from R4iRTS folder
5. install R4i.sys, r4_*.ext to M3 TF /_system_/_sys_data/
6. launch r4irts.nds from M3Sakura 1.1x

Of course you can install r4irts.nds as defaultn.nds but then you will have to hold A or B to startup M3Sakura.

Thanks very very much Rudolph.

I have succeeded to run a game on R4iRTS/M3iZero+KauraQuint_Sakura112.

Possibly there is currently no MoonShell reset...

#Here I have Kaura/Sakura112/Sakura144/Touchpod 4.7gX/iTouchDS 3.7e/R4iRTS 2.6e on my M3iZero.

Wow thank you so much for this, M3 is now ULTIMATE in terms of flashcarts, im downloading right now plus itll be nice to use those R4 themes from my old cart on this too

Hows the compatibility with the R4i RTS do game patches meant for M3 work on it?

The firmware worked. The R4 menu is pretty slow compared to the old R4 menu. I don't know what to use now Touchpod, Sakura, R4, or iTouch! Oh yeah R4 firmware and Sakura firmware don't share the same RTS files.

Sorry there is a fix.

_ds_menu.sys/loader.eng has to be installed from R4iRTS folder.

Now I'm thinking if I replace loader.eng with Kaura (re-encode), resetmse/R4_i.nds might work for whole reset...

I knew that was possible. I always tried to do this but without success and I always thought that would only work with a batch file modified. I had started this conversation but no one was interested.
Long ago I had hoped that this would happen. I have been following your work for the moonshel, and always thought it deserved respect.
Tested and works.
Thank Xennon + + and continue with your hard work.

Edit:- R4iRTS works on Sakura146 with Ram pressing X or Y.

I am making a direct link to this post from the Quad-Boot.
I am not sure if anyone, including yourself would want me to add it to the Quad-Boot, so I will just give it as an option.

Works amazingly well! I never wanted to buy an R4, but for those who did and couldn't get one, this is the next best thing really ^-^

Props to X for this mod FW package. It's always interesting to tinker with these things on our carts to offset moments of boredom.

More importantly R4 is all the rage again!! The most awsomest, up-to-date FW hits the M3 scene....

Who needs Sakura/Kaura/whatever they call it - I wantz me R4 skinz. [/sarcasm]

Couldn't get one? Only if you're living in the South Pole

Unfortunately, they are easier to find than a fly at your local rubbish tip!

no wonder r4irts works on M3Real..it;s just a ripoff of iTouchDS firmware
regardless, it's something new to try to play around with

Actually this firmware is a piece of crap compared to YSmenu with the latest DSTT unofficial firmware. Only good thing about it is that it had RTS. Very buggy RTS.

Hey ripoff or not, 12 themes! That's three times more than Touchpod!
EDIT: Figured out my problem, it was just the theme itself that wasn't working
