Hello everyone,

I am in trouble with my r4i-SDHC Upgrade v.1.4.5 right now because it randomly doesn't want to work anymore.

I'm using it regularly on a 3DS v.4.2.0-9E , my R4i-SDHC card is at the firmware v.1.65b posted last month on the site. I've played 96 hours on it already and today at 2pm I was playing Donkey Kong from my R4i-SDHC and then at 5pm when I came back, the 3DS can't read it anymore and it's just impossible to make it read by any solution.
The only thing that could happen is that Nintendo would track my in-game log while I was playing and put a file in the SD card without my permission because I was running with the wifi on all the time since I was downloading the weekly puzzles on Professor Layton and I had forgot to put it off... (brilliant)

Anyway, I've already tried to format my microSD and put a different firmware, not working.
I put the MicroSD off the card, the 3DS reads it, but if I put the MicroSD back and launch it, it says that there's a system error as if I had updated my 3DS but I didn't and I won't.
Last thing, I have tried out on a NDS, it doesn't read the card anymore, with the MicroSD or without, it just doesn't want.

So here's my question, is my card bricked or is there any solution to fix this problem ?

Already tried another microSD still the same problem, also tried to put in another DS still nothing works, so I don't know, so I think might be the cart, oh curse..

Its the DS with gba slot, is the only one I had that wasn't updated further than 4.5
And also was working with the same card before buying a 3DS.

your cart broke. maybe a contact, maybe something fried, maybe it fell down and hit just the wrong place.
thats assuming its not recognized. if it gives you some error, then its something different.

nothing to do about it but get a new one.

well I dont know since I just left it on the table and went to college, and before it was working passed 4 hours and didn't wanted work anymore, I am already waiting for a 3DS cart so it sucks it just got broke between the wait.

It recognizes the cart without the microSD, but not with it..

Also wanted see if there was a solution for it, but since not. Can't do much. -_-
Thanks for the helps~

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
