Homebrew R4 White Screen after loading ROM (only in DSi)

[cimo95]

Hello, this is my first post please remind me, if I break the rules in this forum.

I have a "mock" R4i 3DS card that used for approx one year, but recently i got only white screen when i try to load a ROM
chronology :
1. i turn on the DSi
2 i open the R4 (the bomberman)
3. i choose "game"
4. i pick a game
5. the loading screen shown
6. the white screen appeared

note : the problem sometime not happen, but when i restart my DSi, the problem shown again

the step i have done but still no result :
1. using newest or older kernel
2. format my SD using panasonic SD formatter
3. format my SD using system formatter with 8192 bytes allocation
4. partitioning my SD

BUT !
this is NOT EVEN HAPPEN on my DS Lite and DS Phat, the game run normally there..

oh yes, i have not update my DSi, its still on 1.4.5U

and sorry my English is terrible, English is not my native language

Hello.

Can you please post a Picture of your Card ?

oh yes, i have not update my DSi, its still on 1.4.5U

That is the latest Firmware for the DSi and it still blocks some Flashcards too.
This does not happen on the normal DS/DS Lite.

So we can only guess:

- maybe your Flashcard has an "Timebomb" - A "Software" Blockade in the Kernel.After a certain Date (September 2019 for Example) the Cards are no longer working.
You can try to set your DSi Date backwards,maybe it works....

- You can use an other Kernel/Software to bypass this Issue by using YSMenu.
(for Example with the Multi Cart Update):
https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/

- You can put an Custom Firmware (HiyaCFW) on your DSi and use for Example @Robz8´s TWiLight Menu to unblock your Flashcard.

As far as the Possibilities, if your flashcard is hampered by a Timebomb at work.

Thank you.

I am very happy for you.
Battery out - Thank you for this Tip.I noted it and it comes on my "Asking List" for the next DSi Patient.
Have fun with your DS(i) and your Flashcard.

Thank you.

@cimo95 btw, if your flashcard starts to not work due to the timebomb, just install TWiLight Menu++ on it to bypass the timebomb, and the games will run via B4DS (nds-bootstrap for DS flashcards).

from what you said that is you possibly using "memory pit" or whatever they said (mr @Robz8 may know the true name) which loading HBMenu when you tap on "Album" in Camera.

what game you play? i mean, do you playing an original catridge game or a flashcart? and from where you run the game? from HBMenu, or from Nintendo's original menu?

here's my suggest based on what i have experienced :
put a duct tape on top of your catridge (logo side), and try to insert it on your DSi gently.
i know this is sound silly but it works for me.
but, if you want to pull out the catridge, just push once, and pull it gently

sorry my english is terrible, i hope you understand what i mean

and wait for @alexander1970 for better suggestions

[cimo95]

Just turn on your DSi, scroll the menu to your catridge icon (for example mine is "Touch! Bomberman Land" ) and click it..

 

[RocketRobz]

@EdugamerPro9 Is Unlaunch installed?
If not, are you able to install it?
