Hey there,

A few days ago, I received my R4-III Upgrade Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS), and despite my efforts, I haven't been able to get it to work. Whenever I try, I'm greeted with a white screen instantly, and it doesn't progress further. Occasionally, I've managed to reach the loading screen, but I'm unsure which software was running, and it never progressed beyond that point. I'm using a NDS Lite.

From what I understand, the R4-III Upgrade Revo is a clone. I visited the website mentioned on the box using the Wayback Machine, but even the kernel from there doesn't take me past the white screen. I've attempted reformatting the SD card multiple times using both Windows and an SD card formatter program.

I haven't tried using another SD card yet, although this card functions perfectly on different PCs.

At this stage, I'm at a loss for what to do to get the card working. I just want to be able to play. If anyone out there has managed to successfully use this card, I'd greatly appreciate any help you can offer.

Here a Picture of Card & Box

Install TWiLight Menu++ instead, I don't recommend downloading outdated kernels.
