What R4 is my card?

[mephebosd]

I recently bought a DS Lite second hand on ebay. Owner was kind enough to send me his R4 Card but its obviously a clone card and there is no sign of any model but just a Super Mario 64 DS logo with 360-10 numbers on them.

No MicroSD in it? If there is maybe try listing the files and see what it says.

If not, try retrogamefan and try the R4 SDHC process (and the others) to see if you can get that to work.

No, please don't try YSMenu or any random kernel you might find: it can easily brick your card if it isn't exactly the right one for your specific cart.

Would you mind showing which game the cart shows before you launch it?

I don't think the various kernels are likely to brick the unit as they are just files on the SD card.

R4iTT 3DS

Not sure on which exact model, but I'd guess the "NEW" variant. If that doesn't work, try the "RTS" version.

I think it's a multi-roms cartridge 360 in one (even if it has a wrong number on the label): it should be an Ace3DSplus, and generally these flashcarts use a Wood kernel. Maybe someone can confirm this statement (for example our expert @lifehackerhansol ).

Anyway, absolutely do not use YSMenu until you know what flashcart it is. Several users have confirmed over the years that this software bricks some specific cards.

It's a flashcart disguised as a multi-cart. If it really was a multi-cart, it wouldn't have a micro sd card slot on it.

Ace3DS Plus doesn't use blue PCBs nor purple shells.

They can buy these flashcarts in bulk from the factory without the labels and slap their own on. It's a common practice with most Chinese products.

This is an R4iTT 3DS as others have stated. Specifically, the one without a screw (this detail is important because it is a deciding factor as to which kernel this cart runs.)

This kernel should suffice: https://flashcard-archive.ds-homebrew.com/BL2CK/BL2CK_1.30.3.7z
