Having some issues here, hoping for some advice. First of all, my 3DS is running system version 4.4.0-10U. I have a new R4i card (WiFI RTS 3DS model, pictured
here. I've never tried to update anything until now since DS games have worked great, but I want to buy some DLC for my 3DS games and of course need an updated eShop...
According to the r4i-sdhc.com site, my flash card supports the latest firmware. When I put 1.74b on the flash cart, and try to run the config/upgrade, it removes the flash.r4i file and says in order to update my r4i card, please restore the flash.r4i file. The system always deletes the file however, so I can't prep the card for the latest nintendo firmware. According to the config/update page on the r4i card, it only supports up to system firmware 5.0, but this goes against what the official site says. When I run the ID# on the card through the r4i site, it says the card is genuine, so it's not a cheap knock off... is my system software so far behind the times that I can't make the jump directly from 4.4 to 6.3? Is there a way to bridge this gap? Is there some other method I am missing?
Pretty much looking for any suggestions where to start, this is the only DS system I have to work with, and I'd rather not brick it for my r4i.
