New R4i-SDHC.HK firmware/kernel help

[arakissun]

I need New R4i-SDHC.HK firmware/kernel.I tried so many but nothing is work.It says:
"Can't Open _dsmenu.dat"

I think I reached I the right one (the card that have "NEW" on the label):
https://web.archive.org/web/20140222233113/http://www.r4i-sdhc.hk/downloade.html

and the file:
http://www.r4i-sdhc.hk/R4i 20130125.zip

but it's not available.

Any help with a source where can I download it or some work around way to use the card?

R4i-SDHC.hk flashcarts that has "NEW" and is the 3DS Wi-Fi model are often based on the DSTT(i) hardware. It is compatible with both the YSMenu kernel and Pico-Launcher.

DSTT(i) clones will boot from a differently named kernel file as opposed to TTMenu.dat, and in this instance it will be R4i.TP. So, if you're choosing YSMenu, make sure you only copy the files from inside the "DSTTi-Clone YSMenu" directory and rename the DAT file prior to copying them to the microSD root, the same applies to the Pico-Launcher.

For a more detailed guide, I recommend reading this: https://sanrax.github.io/flashcart-guides/cart-guides/dstti

No luck.Tried DSTTi-Clone YSMenu and copied in the rood of SD card:

And I have in the root these:
Games folder
TTMenu folder
TTMenu.dat
R4i.TP(renamed TTMenu.dat)

Same error

It seems that your cart searches for anything but the file R4i.TP on the root. It's common case with flashcarts starting with r4i-gold.hk and your r4i-sdhc.hk DSTT clone.

Make multiple copies of TTMenu.dat again, but this time, name them as follows: iLL.iL, config, 3DSCARD.dat and R4i.3DS (case-sensitive). This information comes from the Flashcarts Wiki if you're curious. Let me know if this works for you.

Do you have a photo for the back of your cartridge? And what does it show you when you boot-up the cartridge in your DS?

 

[arakissun]

This is a the back

Okay, now that is an Ace3DS+ cartridge (marked X-B for the revision) which I haven't really seen before on these brand of cards, at least this one in particular

As an example, and this is not my photo. On the right, you will notice how the traces at the bottom, and where the marking is, looks exactly identical to yours.

When booting the cartridge, if you get an error that states the "_DS_MENU.DAT" or "_DSMENU.DAT" file is missing, download the Ace3DS+/R4iLS kernel instead: https://sanrax.github.io/flashcart-guides/cart-guides/ace3ds_r4ils/

Last resort, is to try a different microSD card. It's possible that the SD card you're using is either in-compatible (such as a card that has 64GB or larger formatted to exFAT) or it was corrupted in the process of transferring files. I suggest that you re-format the card if you have a card less than 32GB using SD Formatter, or find one that isn't an SDXC card. Otherwise, if none of the methods worked, then it might be time to buy another R4 card.

I use old 2GB card.And already formatted it.
