Which one are you using. If you are using r4 (not the gold) this is just the launcher it self ( it is not even loading the card)

i'm stucked then

i'm stucked then

I would try different kernels (firmwares) and definitly try ysmenu: https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/
Who know, maybe one will work

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I should have asked this first. Does it fit tightly?

The card fits just right

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

So , what do you think , the Launcher Is broken or maybe the problem is something else ?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

On my ds works only when i push really Deep the card

When i tried to load "games" and "multimedia" , it appears this message :

 

[THYPLEX]

How can i solve this new issue ?

 

[Kubas_inko]

How can i solve this new issue ?

set date of your system to year like 2000
Idk where the problem is. Your device is not detecting it, dont know why. but if you can run it on DS, you just need launcher for it to work on 3ds

 

[THYPLEX]

Strangely enough , now It works just by launching the card like a 3ds game card

 

[THYPLEX]

Why now the card says "menu" ?

 

[Kubas_inko]

Why now the card says "menu" ?

because you are missing something (you mean white screen red ?menu)?

The r4i-gold.com 1.53 it's the latest firmware?

 

[Kubas_inko]

The r4i-gold.com 1.53 it's the latest firmware?

1.57b is latest and also the last

 

[THYPLEX]

1.57b is latest and also the last

Really ?
I hope i won't have compatibility problems with the "latest" games of the ds's library

 

[THYPLEX]

I have a question :
Why i cannot play Pokémon Black 2 ?
The Rai Gold says error 4 , but how i can solve this problem , with a patch ?
(I dumped with godmode9 my own backup of the game , the EUR VERSION)

 

[Old-Skool]

i keep getting a red menu question mark

 

[THYPLEX]

i keep getting a red menu question mark

That's because you're missing something , like the all firmware

Hello.

Same card, same issue here.

What I've come to understand is:

r4-gold.com made this card, and due to the way these clone cards work they have timebomb-firmware, meaning that the old firmwares will just display an error message upon boot explaining you have the wrong or out of date firmware.

Unfortunately r4i-gold.com is gone, so when I tried using r4i-gold.eu firmware it booted fine however after trying to select a game it then tells me that I must use the .com firmware, as seen in a photo in a previous post by OP's.

Is there another way that doesn't involve changing the time/date? The EU firmware will work but perhaps there's a way of changing what part of the firmware checks for the correct card, if that could be changed or the timebomb changed then this would solve the issue.

To get the card works i just changed the date to 2010
