First, what's the flashcart's website, and from where did you bought it? I never heard of a 3DS version of this flashcart.

You probably need to update it so it will work with your 3DS firmware.

its 3ds advance first one on google.

i got it from someone on gumtree. i cant believe i cant play games now

Sorry, can you five me the link from where you purchased it and the flashcart's website (not the website from where you bought it!). Look on the flashcart for the site.

Also, no double posting please.

Looks like that card last got an update almost a year ago; there was never a firmware update released.

Oh sorry. its http://www.r4i-advance.com/en/index.asp.
i purchased it on gumtree. I had initially bought one from a site but it nver arrived so i went to gumtree.

The flashcart is just a cheap R4 clone, and it's NOT for the 3DS. Looks like you were scammed.

I'm sorry.

it does say 3ds on it. is there no way to to downgrade the 3ds firmware?

 

[Enchilada]

It says 3DS on it but it's most likely fake and you can't downgrade the firemware.

If you're planning to buy another flashcart that works, I suggest you to check our forums.

The best cart that will give you trouble-free gaming especially if Nintendo puts out another update would be the DSTWO.

This is GBATemp's sponsor and they are trusted. There are some good prices and I'm pretty sure they ship them to UK. Shipping shouldn't be a problem for a country like yours.
