What's the right Kernel for this R4

[ceppodavanti]

I can't find the right Kernel for this flashcard, maybe it's a clone. Please help me find the right version, i tried the most commons but they didn't work: the DS is stuck on "loading".

Not sure what this is supposed to be. Judging by the Altera chip it looks like a high-quality clone. Possibly Acekard, no?

If I have anything to update then I'll post it here.

you can start by the follow

1. what icon does it use on a DS (not 3ds/dsi)
2. what file does it look for if you insert a blank sdcard
you can ultimately do the following
this is the place
https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/flashcard-archive
https://github.com/lifehackerhansol/flashcard-bootstrap

or use twlmenu https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/twilightmenu/updating-flashcard.html

I'd search up different flashcarts ranging from the highest to lowest quality, maybe look at PCBs to get an idea as to what the cart is.

Or when you boot up the flashcart, do you get a screen that says loading on a black background? If so, then its likely Acekard or R4 clone, if not, then DSTTi clone. The possibilities are endless.

What's PCB?
Yes, when i boot up says "loading" with a balck background.

What does it say when you boot it up without an SD card inserted?

In the original kernel that was in this flashcard (I deleted it by mistake) there where those files:
_AX_MENU.DAT
_DS_MENU.DAT
_DS_MENU.SYS
_DS_MSHL.NDS

Please, tell me if you can recognize the kernel from the files:

Card is similar to r4ids(.)com. Looks to be a perfect match.
Maybe try using TWiLight Menu++ on it.
