Hi guys, I got an old R4 clone card without label. I want to use it with my modded 3ds(luma 3ds and latest update, but I don't think it can be useful). The only things I know are that it shows SpongeBob Atlantis SquarePants game when I put it in my 3ds and I got a photo of internals and externals.
I tried to follow the retrogamefan's guide to ysmenu installation but the card always stuck on loading. Any ideas?
Nice forum btw

Any chance you have a DS or DS lite laying around? You could try it in there and see if it works with older hardware. I wonder if its just not whitelisted to run with the 3DS.

You might be strapped for cash but you might want to consider getting an R4i Gold or other "official" cart if you can't get this one working.

I tried with a not-so-broken Ds and it can't read it. It works only on the 3ds but it can't load as you know. In the sd there is ysmenu and a casual firmware that I found

This should be a R4 Dual Core SDHC of the r4isdhc.hk site
There is only to understand the version (NEW / 2012 / 2013 / 2014 / etc ...)
here a testimony: (see photo chip)
Try this kernel: (for the 2014 version)
First advice to format the micro sd.
good luck :)
I tried that kernel, now two white screens appear when it finishes loading. maybe it does white screen because my 3ds is too updated or something else. It's something at least.. Now what can i do?

Usually for the firmware too updated by black screens with an error.
The best thing would be to try the card with a DS / DSLite.
Try also with this kernel:
(for the 2013 version)
I tried to use a really old dslite, but it can't even read the card, I don't know if it's fault of the console or the card. I'm trying with the 2013 kernel. I hope it works

That's what I thought happened before, if you started YSMenu now, you've locked the card forever, I'm sorry for you.

On these flashcards there is only to update files (.dat) with YSmenu in the _rpg folder,
they are not supported to launch YSmenu directly.

there is no way to recover it?
