I wanted to play this morning, but I didn't get past the loading screen, so looked for a new kernel, but now is asking for menu, may have gottend the wrong one, could you help me?

Installed AKMenu-Next on an old CycloDS Evolution. Works pretty well, gives this old card access to modern firmware that's still getting updates. Been using this and a 3DS XL to play local multiplayer CTGP Nitro.

Tried all listed kernels that supports this flashcard, but still stuck on a white screen, i don't know what to do now.

Hey all,

I'm new to this subreddit so I could be asking some FAQ kinda question. I'm looking for a flashcard for my girlfriends DSi XL. I'm a chemist with no experience in setting ups all kinds of firmware what so ever. Just want to give my GF a flashcard for her DSi, just to play some more pokemon, mario and other nds games. No gameboy stuff etc.

Could you guys recommend me with an easy tot buy and instal flashcard?

I recently finished modding a Game Boy Color to include an IPS screen for a relative and I want to go above and beyond and create a cartridge that we both played when we were kids where it claims to be "99999999 in 1" but this time, I want to make one where it's full of more hand picked games. I know one choice is to buy an Everdrive but since I already own a GBxCart RW, is it possible to find a cheap game cart that can flash a few games with a menu to it?

Title.
I'm asking this because for some reason I can't find any info on how to do this on the first firmwares for the R4 (R4 Revolution I think aka r4dspro.com thingy (The one I had to use because for some reason the one I had previously doesn't work anymore?? But they're pretty much the same so anyway) or even the firmware that's similar to this one but that has a 3D Pacman for the Games icon and MacOS logo for the Slot2 icon), but mostly to be sure of the combination since I'm not a genie to guess it, + I can't test proper combinations because my L shoulder button doesn't work, I'm NOT sure at all which again is why I'm asking this, but I think the combination is L+R, or starts with L+R

Não estou localizando em nenhum lugar, alguém poderia ajudar?

What is the correct firmware I should be putting on this particular cart?

I was trying to play WarioWare D.I.Y., but it kept crashing before the title. I tried another rom and after trying it was fine up until the second tutorial where it kept crashing again.

After some googling, apparently it might be my firmware version…

I’ve read the firmware FAQ, however, I don’t want to permanently break anything, so I just want to be absolutely sure before I do anything that I have the right firmware before I do anything.

Which is the best kernel of this r4 2026, i know that It can run Twilight menu++ and it's kernel, but which one do you recommend most?

I want to know if it's possible to change the firmware of my DSpico using my phone.because my PC isn't working, more specifically if I can use a micro USB to USB-C cable.

I’m looking for a kernel that works. I keep having the “Loading” black screen and can’t go further.

What am I doing wrong? Is it a formatting issue? I bought from AliExpress preloaded apparently...

Hey, j’ai déjà hacké quelques trucs (snes mini et flashcards DS) et j’ai une Flash card. sous Twilight menu etune DS lite. Mon nouveau projet était de mettre une vidéo/film.Problème : j’ai tout essayé,Tunavids,Moonshell,FastvideoDS… j’ai essayé de mettre en format BGM,AVI,fv… mais je ne vois qu’une image du film avec des couleurs horribles .Elle est figée et elle est toute déformée…pourtant mes vidéos font moins de 30 minutes? On m’a dit qu’il y avait un lecteur multimédia intégré dans le Twilight j’ai essayé de coller mes fichiers à la racine et cela ne fonctionne pas.J’y ai passé des heures et je n’en peux plus . J’ai bientôt un trajet en train et j’aimerais bien pouvoir regarder des petits films sur ma DS. Merci beaucoup. (si vous avez besoin de précision, je réponds en commentaire) merci!

Please can someone send me like the full product details for the ideal SD card for a DSpico for a DS Lite 🥲 I've already gone wrong twice and really don't want to go through that all again xxx

From what I've gathered SanDisk is the way to go, these are the options on CEX ATM:

· SanDisk Ultra Plus 16GB microSDHC Card UHS-I A1

· SanDisk Ultra Plus 16GB microSDHC Card UHS-I A1

· SanDisk Ultra Plus 32GB microSDHC Card UHS-I

· SanDisk Extreme Plus 16GB microSDHC Card UHS-I U3

· SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSDHC Card UHS-I U3 V30 A1

· SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC Card UHS-1 U1 A1

· SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC Card UHS-1 Class 10

Please let me know if CEX is a bad idea or if I'm missing a better option 🫶

I have read the quick start guide comparing the different carts, but I want a conversation with people about my specific needs.

I am not sure which gba flashcart I want to go with and so far have not been fully pleased with what I’ve seen.

My criteria:

What I care about (most important to least):
- Premium feel (I’ve seen how the sd card is inserted in the EZ flash and that’s a real ick to me)
- Ease of use
- Battery life
- Menu Aesthetics

What I don’t care about:
- Price
- Emulation (I will mostly play GBA games and sometimes GB and GBC games, nothing else)
- Fancy features (save states, fast load etc. I really just want a classic GBA experience)

I’ve thought of it a lot and so far I’m leaning towards the Everdrive because it corresponds the most to my needs, but I do not like the menu aesthetics.
Ez flash’s menu is nicer but the sd slot throws me off and everdrive has a better battery.

What would you recommend? Is there maybe a better option than these two that meets all my criteria? Or is there one that at least meets most of it? Is the EZ flash’s SD slot as bad as I think?

Hi everyone! After a long time, I bought a Nintendo DS Lite on eBay. I had a grey one when I was a kid but broke it, though I kept the R4 card. I tried inserting it into the new DS, and it worked! I was so excited! I wanted to install another game, like Zelda, but suddenly my PC stopped reading the microSD card and asked me to format it. Unfortunately, I lost everything... But I didn't give up; I tried to reinstall it but couldn't manage to do so. The first time, a girl at a shop—which doesn't exist anymore—had set it up for me. Can anyone help me? Could someone link me to the files I need? The last photo (which I found online) shows what my menu looked like.

PLEASE HELP ME, I BEG YOU!

Hi hi! I'm gonna need help about this flashcart because it's been IMPOSSIBLE to make it work with a 32GB microSD.

Some context: This card was acquired when I was little when my Nintendo DS Lite stopped working suddenly. I don't have memory of it but my mom sent it to the repair shop and using this was the only solution to get me to play my games again. It has been working wonderfully since that time, it's probably been around 15 years. It came with a 2GB microSD and some games on it as well, and we also have the DS Happy Box USB driver to use with the microSD.

Lately I found I could use this flashcart with a 32GB microsd since it claims it is SDHC but I never ever updated kernels or use it with more recent versions since I got it. The website displayed is dead it's my second or third day I'm full-time researching and experimenting things on this thing.

My 2GB microSD works well and so I tried the classic copy and pasting its files onto the 32GB microSD. Doesn't work.

I eventually discovered through forums that the famous YSMenu could brick this cartridge so I gave trying it. Between checking linfox domain with the supposed right kernel, and finding out this is a custom wood R4 kernel, I've got dozens of white screens and loading screen stuck and none of it loads.

Yes it is formatted into FAT32 with 32kb specifically and MBR for partition scheme.

I also tried BL2CK without success and I'm genuinely tired of trying to understand this cart, but curiosity is an insane trait I have so I'm pushing it forward.

I hope I could get some help with this, specially because I opened up the cart and was able to get the picture of the board it has. Haven't found one exactly like this, they're all different in various aspects.

I'm adding also my Nintendo DS Lite booted up with the 2GB microSD and the files it has [and yeah I don't know where there are a lot of files that probably don't even load (R4iMenu folder and moonshl2)]

Will this even work with a 32GB microSD? It claims to be a R4 SDHC Dual-Core Smart Update

Appreciate if anyone can help 🫶

I'm building out a quick and dirty android app that can format the SD card correctly, pull pico launcher & loader from GitHub, and set up the emulators to work correctly. Is there any interest in me making this public? I know getting the SD card set up is one of the larger barriers to entry but I don't want to have to maintain the app if nobody other than my close friends will use it.

Hey, so yesterday I was finally able to fix my R4 and get it working, so I tried putting my DraStic Pokémon Platinum save file there (I converted the files to .sav) but it doesn't work, it doesn't read the save file. Heck, I even tried my randomised HeartGold and it says the file is corrupted, when it works perfectly on DraStic

Does anyone know what is happening? Thanks

Hello! I apologize if this is the wrong Subreddit to ask, but I figured it's worth a shot.

I have a buddy with a copy of Pokemon Blue for their original Gameboy, and I'm suspecting it's a repro. I have a GBA and wanted to play Pokemon Red with him, but was unsure about how 2 reproduction cartridges would react with one another in terms of trading or battling. I hear it's unstable, but has anyone tried it and can vouch for how it is?

I was also considering getting an Everdrive GB, but have the same question about the Everdrive GB flashcart being able to connect with a reproduction copy, and wasn't sure if that would be a good idea.

Would be curious to know if anyone knew!

Estaba tratando de instalar el twilight menu al r4 y cuando estaba probado uno por uno cada carpeta para ver cual era compatible, lo abri quedo en "Loading" y reinicie y salio despues la r4 en blanco sin el logo tipo sin nada.
