The first game loads up fine and is playable, but pressing the blue button does nothing. I did manage to get the games to cycle, but not the normal way. These are the steps I need to take to cycle games:

1. With the N3DS powered on at the main menu and the Sky3DS cart inside, hold the blue button.
2. Still holding the blue button, push the cart in to eject it, decrease the pressure until the cart appears to be in its original position.
3. The blue light starts blinking and the game cycles after a few seconds.
4. Stop pushing on the cart and let it eject.
5. Push the cart back in and play.

The problem is this is tedious, might wear out the flashcart and button, and doesn't always work and so it may take many tries just to cycle one game. Any suggestions?

I just got a Black N3DS, a blue button Sky3DS, and a Samsung 32GB EVO Class 10 Micro SDHC. I bought the Sky3DS from modchipsdirect.com. The sd card I got at Amazon. I'm using the latest DiskWriter software (v106b5 - 01/17/15) and template file (02/16/15) from sky3ds.com. I have CRC32 checked all my 3DS roms against the database at 3ds.essh.co.


edit: I just tested with a different micro sd card, and the exact same thing happens.

    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
