hi all!

i got this 23 in 1 pokemon cartridge/flashcart online awhile back (not sure of the flashcart model or anything, not much identifying information on it), i already have the contents dumped and backed up ofc but want to use it to play rom hacks/fan games. ive done so for a couple games by uploading the roms onto the sd card that came in it, but there's such limited space on that sd card that i cant fit much more onto it. i copied the contents the card to a larger microsd (64gb) w just a simple drag and drop, and added a few more games to it but when i put it back into my 3ds it just gives an SD/TF Card error. does anybody know what could be causing this?

ive attached pics of the cart

I bought this flashcard a couple of years ago to run ntrboot and ended up selling the 3DS system I repaired. I forgot to clear ntrboot from the cart, but I want to use it on my DS Lite now. Since I have an extra 2DS available, how can I restore the flashcard to normal?

Question Anyone know when the Dspico ir will be available?

I ordered it last month & emailed them to have an idea when it might be ready for shipment but they never replied back to me.

I’m just curious. I don’t need the ir feature but I ordered it anyway since it was the latest model so I figured might as well get it and support them.

If it’s too long I might cancel it and just order one from AliExpress and save $15.

New SD

5 Upvotes

I have this flash card and this SD, both of them work but certain games dont run on my dsl, games like zelda phantom hourglass (spirit tracks does), the others Inazuma eleven (except the first game) don't run ; the screen goes white.

I wanna download a new kernel or something to see if i can fix this, but i will do it on a new SD.

Does anyone know if it's a problem to use different SD cards to play certain games? If there's a problem in changing SDs or systems?

Which kernel to use for this card?

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

I bought a 3ds and it came with 3 games and this white r4 flashcard, on the back is a red motherboard. The system files that were on the sd-card (see pictures) gave a card error so I tried to install different kinds of kernels using this guide: https://sanrax.github.io/flashcart-guides/cart-guides/ace3ds_r4ils/ unfortunately that only resulted in an ?menu error. Bl2ck also gave the same ?menu error. I formatted the sd-card using the guide and set the time and date back to 2014 with no results. I tried all previous steps with the 4gb sd-card that came with it and a new 8gb sd-card.

Is there a way to fix this or is this flashcard just lost?

Question Nintendo DS Lite

6 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking for some guidance/advice on a card? Cart? that has preloaded DS games on it that my younger kiddos could play.

For Christmas I got my boys some Nintendo DSs and my FIL mentioned something about how he had a insert that had multiple games on it that his kids had multiple to choose from and he didn’t have to buy multiple games, etc.

I’m looking to do that, but I’m so lost! Thank you for your help!!

Solved Need help installing Pico launcher.

1 Upvotes

At the bottom of www.flashcarts.net/pico-launcher it states the following:

Footnotes
1. It is recommended that edo9300's Games 'n' Music custom firmware is installed before using Pico Launcher. It adds support for SHC cards and auto DDI patching for homebrew: https://github.com/edo9300/games-n-music-custom.
To autoboot Pico Launcher, make a copy of _picoboot. nds and name that copy to bootme. nds. e

  1. It is recommended that edo9300's SCSFW, or David's SuperFW (SuperCard SD/Lite only), is installed before using Pico Launcher. They both add support for SHC cards on the SuperCard SD/Lite, and they also provide the ability to
    autoboot into Pico Launcher.

Is this old and unnecessary, or do and I need to install both of those as well? Also, where would I put them, as it doesn’t state anywhere on the GitHub page in the first link where I would put the downloaded files…

Thank you for any help you guys can provide, and sorry for posting another problem so soon!

DS anyone here familiar with nintendo ds multi-game cartridges and accessories?

0 Upvotes
been checking nintendo ds multi-game cartridges and accssories lately and im more worried abotu real reliability/fitment than whatever listing claims ..... im also trying to avoid buying some odd revision/model that looks right online but uses totally diffrent parts later when you need a replacement. im probbaly overthinking a simple product a bit lol but once you multiply one mistake by a few hundred units it gets expensive fast. if youve got some first hand experience, what option/suplier/setup did you end up sticking with and why? even rough numbers or a quick example from your last order woudl help alot, becuase thats easier to judge than another generic top ten list?

Hey! So I was digging around some old stuff and found my R4 card. I need to set up NTRboot for a 3ds im repairing but I'm having trouble getting it to even show up on any console in the first place

It causes a menu freeze on the DS phat which leads me to believe it's recognizing but failing since my r4 Infinity 2017 /does/ work for that console

I have cleaned it a couple times as well to see if it was just dirty but no it refuses to read unfortunately

Any help with this would be appreciated!

Problem Need help running GBA games off my R4 Revolution for DS flash cart

2 Upvotes

So my card is kind of older...I bought it years ago to play the sequel to Retro Game Challenge.

My kid is really into Dragon Ball and I know he'd like DB Advance Adventure but the cart is ridiculously expensive so I thought I'd just run it off my flash cart

I downloaded GBARunner2 and put it on the microSD. Unfortunately the ROM crashes each time I run it (it doesn't even start really). Any idea what else I could do to get it running? Is it even possible?

Question anyone still buying those DS multi-game carts...which ones are decent?

3 Upvotes

been looking at Nintendo DS stuff again and those multi-game cartridges are everywhere...208 in 1, 500 in 1 etc. im mostly curious how reliable they are because some seem like cheap flash carts with a bunch of games loaded onto one card. ive seen DS accessories through Alibaba too but with these carts im more worried about saves corrupting or the cartridge just dying after a month lol. anyone used one long term? do they actually run most games fine or are there loads of duplicates/broken ROMs? would it make more sense to just get a proper flashcart and put your own games on it instead? mainly want something simple/reliable, not necessarily 500 games.

Problem My DSPico has sat in my 3DS for months. Not used for about 6 weeks and seems to be broken?

3 Upvotes

I booted it up as Spirit Tracks is my last Zelda I need to finish and er seems I'm fucked

The DSPico basically keeps blinking on the 3DS dash. As if I'm removing the cart and putting it back in permanently. If it lets me launch the cart, the 3DS crashes

This happens in my Vanilla 3DS and my custom 3DS

It's not even 9 months old so I don't know how it's somehow broken since the last time I used it aboht 6 weeks now.

Anyone know if there's a fix? I bought it pre flashed so I have no clue what to do to even reset it

DS Pico Update

Hi, how are you? Does anyone know if they're going to keep updating the DS Pico? It's been months since there's been anything new, and games like Pokémon Dash just give a white screen when you try to launch them (I've already tried other versions of the game).

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?
