Hacking Time Sensitive - Couldnt find an answer R4SDHC 2013 Question

[Xeiimalix]

Hello all. I have an older R4 card and my 3DS broke a long time ago. I finally decided to buy another one and its updated to 9.5 (bought it from a local shop used and only 48 hour return policy hence the time sensitive). My card doesnt seem to work and I'm not sure what I can do to update it. From what I've read this card should still work for playing DS back ups and what not.

That is an image of my exact card. Its the R4 SDHC 3DS DSI Dual Core Smart Update. I assume I need a new firmware or something. any help would be great thanks!

You have to update the R4 cartridge on an older firmware 3DS or on a DS.

i believe it wont on that console. here's a pretty updated listing of DS flashcarts tested over different 3DS firm versions.

My recommendation is return that 3DS and get a <9.3 one. 3DS roms without a cart is kind of possible now
