Hello, can someone PLEASE summarize for me which firmware of Nintendo DS or O3DS or N3DS do I need to run 3ds games through an R4i Gold Card. I am gonna sell my current O3DS v10.3.0.28E coz I can only run DS games with my R4 card.

I am pretty sure I will find the answer here in this forums and I dnt wanna blame my english for not being able to find the answer but I really tried and seems like I have to take my informations from different threads, therefore I would really appreciate if someone could just summarize all NDS devices and firmware which allows me to run 3ds games on my R4 cards or through homebrew etc.

Ps. I also have OOT which I definitely will keep and I have Powersave.

Can the R4i even support 3DS games? I can't remember if they released a card that can.....

The card you have apparently only supports around 4.X systems however you can easily get a custom firmware at this point and be better off.

If you do want to go the custom firmware route then you want a system with 9.2 or lower. Impossible to find on US N3DS's, difficult to find on N3DS XL's, hard to find on EUR/JP N3DS's, easy to find on O3DS's.

As for firmware you want 9.2 or below. Impossible to find on US N3DS's, difficult to find on N3DS XL's, hard to find on EUR/JP N3DS's, easy to find on O3DS's. Even if the R4i doesn't support 3DS games you can just use a CFW that that point and probably be better off.
He has a clone that probably won't work that high. 4.x is the limit if it's a gateway clone.

ok people what the op means to say is "i currently have a 10.3.0.28e 3ds and i am selling it so i can get a exploitable 3ds and and i would like advice as to what fw version to look for the model does not matter"

the answer is make sure it is 9.2 or lower
if new (condition) a 2ds will be in a good fw
if you want a n3ds N3DS XL Firmware by version number

You dont need any flash card at all just make sure you have a 3DS on 9.2 or lower and setup rxTools https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/ if anything the gateway launcher might brick your 3DS since you own a clone just use thar r4 card for DS games and never use it with gateway.

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ask @x65943 he's trained for that stuff
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?

    Yes it requires a degree

    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.

    Yeah power supplies are filthy perverts
