It's a piece of code that's essentially an expiration date in the kernel for said flashcart device(s). The kernels are just DSTT clone kernels that overall feel clunky, two options to fix the issue, change the date of your system, or use YSMenu. The proper solution would be to buy a better flashcart running a good kernel, example, the R4i Gold 3DS Plus is a very good flashcart to get, it runs Wood R4 and doesn't have time bombs at all.

Sorry for the bump, just had to stress this.

To make more money or to enforce you to upgrade the kernel, but just get a non-time bomb R4 card, we can have no worry about that, the R4i gold 3ds plus, Ace3ds Plus are what I know not with that. Have the first card in hand. It pretty works well.

    the ipad pros are really decent for drawing, but then again the Galaxy Tabs do just as good or better job for less, and the best part is you don't have to charge the stylus

    maybe the screenless ones are a good value, but they charge apple prices for ones with, honestly as an artist they're kinda overrated

    i just really like having a portable all-in-one device to draw on and take anywhere, i was tempted to get a Microsoft Surface but a friend of mine had a real bad experience with them
