The dongle is used to boot into Hekate fine but when I tried to connect the dongle with PC through a micro USB cable it won't show up as a drive...so I can't update the files in it. Tried clicking and double clicking while connected and nothing showed up on PC. Tested the USB with other devices and it worked fine, so this is definitely not USB or PC problem.

The LED was lit when connected and responded by changing from bright purple to light blue when I double clicked it while connecting.

One thing of note is that the cable is a new one since I lost the original USB cable a long time ago. Does this thing work even if I don't use its original cable?

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

sorry I misread.

The R4S light up the LEDs when you connect it to PC?
Post automatically merged:

for the R4s you need to connect to PC to charge the internal battery and for the PC recognice it as a device you need to double press the front button.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
