Hacking R4iSDHC.in 2014 white screen

[Fserve]

So, i had one of those working well for years, but some games didnt boot. (animal crossing, pokemon black 2 and white 2...). (kernel R4isdhc-White1.62 )
Friend of mine told me to try one different kernel, which i did ( r4i3d.v1.72 ), didnt boot, the folder scheme seems different from mine.
mine have _DS_MENU.DAT and a PATCH folder.
after some time testing i could make it work, my kernel, with __RPG folder renamed to patch folder with the file patch.bin inside the renamed __RPG folder. And now animal crossing was working.

I got so happy that i started to try more things, until i got the original r4 kernel. ( R4i-V4.0b English ).
When i used it (renamed R4.dat to _DS_MENU.DAT) it started the normal black screen with the white LOADING text and then a new LOADING with orange text... and freeze.
After this my r4 is dead. White screen with no text with any setup i could test. On 3ds it loads the icon/game in 3ds home but nothing more.

Any ideas? how could the r4 kernel kill my clone?

I made this mistake with my R4iTT (trying a bunch of kernels out because why the hell not?)

Don't run kernels that aren't designed for it. Some carts are just designed so poorly that anything that isn't meant for it will kill it.

Yeah, for years i respected that. But when i saw animal crossing running, why not try to get pokemon black2/white2?

I dont know if it installed some type of software kill switch or if it is really dead.

I realize this thread is ancient, but I figured I would post anyways as it may help someone. I purchased the flashcart in the attached picture. I found out this card actually runs the r4isdhc.in 2014 Wood 1.62 kernel. This card is notorious for being unable to run Animal Crossing Wild World. For anyone with this card you can run Animal Crossing Wild World by using the program TTdT_b4 to edit the infolib.dat which is used for rom loading. Deleting the infolib entry for Animal Crossing (ADME) will allow this rom to load properly instead of the dreaded white screen. Although I have not played the game since I got it loading, I suspect it will play and save just fine. Hope this helps anyone using this finnicky R4 clone.
