Hacking Playing an old R4 on an old 3DS

[Beth9991]

I want to play the old r4i upgrade revolution for ds on the first 3DS. I don't know if that's possible, but if it is, is there a way and a tutorial on how to do that?

Install cfw and it will work

I and everyone else seem to be at the same consensus that you had so much difficulty getting your system hacked that it would be dangerous for you to go through the steps to unhack it as messing up on these instructions can and likely will result in a brick. so you should just leave it be and enjoy it as is

And yes I am still going to tell you where to get your instructions although as I advise against you unhacking your console I will not return to assist you with it... Anywho here is your link if you so choose good luck https://3ds.hacks.guide/uninstall-cfw
Even the guide tells you uninstalling is not how you fix issues with the installation

Edit:. It's just such a waste you already got past every difficulty and hurdle and installing custom firmware you are already at the end goal and now you think it could be a bad idea and want to turn around and it's so frustrating because you can't explain to me why you feel it could be a bad idea or why it's a mistake it's like you're telling me you just have a feeling when the only reality I can see is that you had a difficulty a single difficulty and you're ready to give up and scrap your progress which is just silly cuz you're already done

I've read the Get Started part, but I don't know where to go from there

If the cart is not detected on your 3DS then it's most likely patched by Nintendo. And you'd need to install CFW to bypass it so it can work again.
Do you have a DS that you can test with, if the the cart actually works or not?
The guide posted above is for installing cfw on your 3ds. Follow either the Pichaxx or Seedminer method, both lead to the same thing.
Though first get an sd card and test with h2testw (it's in the guide), to make sure it's not faulty or defective, before you begin messing with your system..

The oldest flashcarts (particularly ones that auto-booted on an old DS) need to be started with NTR Launcher, which also requires CFW. I think TWiLight Menu might work too.

(In theory you could use HaxxStation without installing CFW, but of course that would still require a second unit to provide a download point for HaxxStation. Also no one does things that way anymore.)

I've read the Get Started part, but I don't know where to go from there

Maybe try reading the rest of it, for starters..? Or ask questions about something more specific?

All I know is that, when I put the r4i upgrade revolution for ds in the first old 3DS, it says that an error occurs. So I don't know where to go from there. There seem to be so many things I need to get in order for it to work.

Not yet. Still struggling where to go from the Get Started part

Well, this depends on the current firmware version on your console.
Pretty self-explanatory.
1.0.0 up to 11.3 → Soundhax method
11.4 to 11.14 → update to 11.15 (currently latest version)
11.15 → Seedminer

If you have trouble, describe it further.

Well get to it

Well get to it

That's the problem. I've read the Get Started part, but I don't know where to go from there.

Sorry. I don't understand the problem.

Open System Settings to get your current version and continue the guide.

Like I said before, all I know is that when I put the r4i upgrade revolution for ds in the first old 3DS, it says that an error occurs. I haven't done anything to make it work and I don't know where to go from there.

Ignore the R4 for now.
3ds.hacks.guide is independent from the R4.

If you finish installing custom firmware the blocking ("An error has occurred!") should be gone.

I don't know how to do that

 

[KleinesSinchen]

I don't know how to do that

Again: Start by getting the firmware version on your console with System Settings. What version do you have right now?

 

[wormdood]

I don't know how to do that

I'm sorry but what does that even mean what you're asking for is a basic set of instructions on how to make your r4 work with your 3DS they're telling you that if you want your r4 to work you have to follow the guide ... And now for the part where my mind is blown how are you expecting to follow people's written instructions to get your device to work if you can't choose a range your firmware number falls in

 

[CoolMe]

I don't know how to do that

You don't know how to do what? Again, you need to install Custom Firmware (Luma3DS +Boot9strap) on your 3DS in order to bypass the R4 cart blocking, otherwise it's not possible. It's that simple.
If you want to install cfw, just read my comment above, follow either Pichaxx or Seedminer method (both lead to the same thing), and read the steps carefully on this guide, do NOT skip any steps. And you should test your sdcard beforehand with h2testw.

From what I can see, it's Ver. 11.15.0-47E
