Hi,

i have a problem with a r4ds pro from aliexpress.

i want to use bl2ck kernel. i downloaded it from Flashcard Archive.

but after booting i got a "LOADING" followed from a white screen on both screens.

I tried the following kernels and every works:

- The old R4DS Pro Kernel v1.50
- A bad (Frankenstein?) kernel with R4i3d.com branding
- TWiLight Menu ++ v27.0.0 with Autoboot


only the bl2ck kernel refuse to work.
i don't find the solution for this problem.

i think it can maybe have to do something with Flashcart Bootstrap, which the bl2ck version for r4ds pro seems to use, because i also can't boot DScraft, for example, with flashcart bootstrap but with one of the working kernels, the game starts.

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Hmm. That's weird that it's specifically BL2CK it won't boot and everything else is fine. I have it on mine (also bought on Ali) and it boots fine. You are using the r4dspro version of the firmware right? The only other thing I can think of is try formatting your SD card. Maybe there's some old files preventing you from booting.

Ok... Now i'm feeling really stupid... :blush:
Seems it was really the msd card... i take a fresh 128 gb cart, which is working without problems... :toot:

it's still strange, that the non-working card is working with all other kernels :unsure:

I would never recommend the R4DS Pro. There are plenty of defective carts around that are dead on arrival, it does not support the DSi or 3DS without custom firmware, Download Play does not work, amongst other things. You're better off going with the Ace3DS+ or the supported flashcarts from the list: https://www.flashcarts.net/ds-quick-start-guide
