The site that hosts the kernel files is down... I'll try to find a archive for it sometime this week hopefully sooner then later i'll also be archiving and hosting the kernel files that are on my ds flash card. I will probably revive my site too I haven't posted to it in awhile and I been meaning to host some of the archives there for awhile now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to the kernel im using it might have a timebomb for 2024 from what I heard but its reversible just make sure your ds time is just set to a older time. drive.google.com/file/d/16xYlRlKtyYLWOeG-0ZV4ubZwaESTS1tS/view?usp=share_link ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll add more as I find them here to archive them.... But if I test ysmenu out and its not too bad i'll cover that for a video and maybe private this one in the future but only time will tell which choice ill have to make.
@@marekszczypior1081 I'm working on finding a archive or uploading all the kernel files I might have available its just taking me a long time wasnt feeling too great yesterday and I meant to look then. For mean time ys-menu can be used it needs some set up but will work on most r4 cards. If I still havent found a archive for the kernel files I might end up covering ys-menu and privating this video.
@@anto_dla2404 I'm sorry :( trying to find a archive i'll be uploading my kernel files tonight hopefully just been kinda not feelin great last few days. In mean time I suggest using ysmenu it requires a little more setup but it will work on most r4 cards. If I can't find a archive that will cover most the r4 cards ill most likely make a video covering ysmenu and privating the one.
One of my friends accidently updated my DS a couple of years ago (I think 4/5), I was very young at the time and didn't know how to fix it, now, thanks to this tutorial it does work again, thank you so much! :D
Thank you. Best tutorial for this by far. The other ones I found always gave dead links or links with different folders/files then in their videos. Thank you for saving me the painful headache!
Hey dude, I gotta hand it to you. For the past year or so I have been *dying* to get my 2 old R4 cards running again, but they just didn't work right no matter what I did. Just today I received the exact same R4 card you have right there to see if it would work, but it didn't seem to. I thought all hope was lost until I watched this video, I don't know how it changed anything (I'm not a genius with this sort of thing) but I was pleasantly surprised to see it boot up (before I watched this I only got a "? Menu" error screen with every other tutorial) but either way it worked. As I previously mentioned I have 2 R4 cards, an original that isn't recognised by my DS at all, and the other gave me an error screen no matter what I did, so perhaps if I were to follow this tutorial I could get it working? Once again I have to give you props for being the one person that gave proper instructions on how to get my R4 card working :)
I just set up the EZ Flash Omega for my GBAsp last week, and it was so awesome that I had to get a flashcart for my 2DS as well. I should be receiving it in the mail this weekend, can’t wait to try this out. ☺️ In my free time I also installed Henkaku Enso on my PS Vita... y’all can tell I have way too much time on my hands with this whole social distancing mess lmao.
I literally designed my own windows xp theme for use with the kernel you get on the website in the video lmao. R4 gold is so amazing. Trading pokemon over to legit copies and then moving them to the 3ds is amazing.
I been using mine a lot lately to re-flash gba repo cards. Its like having a gba flash card in slot 2 just ready to go no longer need to use the hit and miss emulators for gba games lol.
Finally got around to getting a better sized micro sc card for mine and been doing it non-stop so thought i'd give you all a r4gold pro 2019 update. It's still working in 2020 and I might make a video on the emulators that work ok on the ds lite r4 as well since I tried a few out.
@@itachiuchiha2129 Sorry for late reply been out and without wifi. I would try a different sd card if your using anything under 8gb even though the r4 supports it I suggest not using it I had a 4gb sd not work at all and a 2gb one did but slow if yours if smaller then 8gb change it out and put the kernel files back on let me know if this helps.
Is there any place you can recommend to get a pre-built image for the MicroSD? I know there are many settings you can tweak, but I'd rather a polished experience.
I haven't looked into pre-build images but if I had to take a guess maybe "arcade punks". They have pre-built images for just about anything. But I think finding pre-build images will be hard cause the r4 has so many clone cards and some even got time bombs so putting a image on with the wrong year would just result in it not booting. I'd just suggest setting the r4 up from scratch it doesn't take too long then just getting a .nds rom pack and throwing it on the sd card.
Try to reformat the sd card as fat 32 and re-download the kernel files if that doesn't solve it try to install ysmenu its for fraud r4 cards with time bombs but does work on the standard r4 cards as well.
@@assaultapple6561 I dont got a 3ds but I imagine this will work still all the r4 does is fake that it is another game which boots into a launcher to launch other ds games or homebrew.
@@assaultapple6561 I ordered mine on ebay and it really depends on who you order it from and how much you pay. I went for the cheapest one which had a decent rating just to make sure I was getting what I ordered. I think it showed up in a day or 2 for me.
My R4 card stopped working on my DSi after I updated my DS. I ordered the newest r4 card on amazon. Do I just take the SD out of the old one and put it in the new one, then will it work? Or do I have to go into the actual SD card and update any files?
Only video thats worked, thank you! I can also see that you work hard replying to all the comments. Great work man, youre a legend. Subscribed and liked.
Homebrew isn't required for the r4 too work just the kernel files and your .nds games. I only showed the homebrew off so if any one was interested they would know how it works since installing homebrew can be a bit odd.
Glad I could help :D and sorry for the late reply comments been not coming up for me apparently a RUclips error occurred or something just now receiving months and months of comments lol...
ive done everything i can to get my r4 chip to work, ive tried reinstallling the correct r4i files with no luck. for some reason i cant change the format of my sd car from exFAT to FAT32, im not sure what the promblem is.
Well what size is the micro sd card I think 32gb is the max the r4 gold pro takes. And it needs to be fat32 format. Also send a link or picture of the card you got ill see if I can link some files for you if you need any newer kernel files or are doing the wrong kind. If that doesn't help ill send over a guide on ysmenu.
@@threeroses8620 I was just helping someone else if its the newer card they don't got the pictures updated but the files appear to be there i'll leave a link but make sure the card your using is 8gb at least and fat32 in format.

@@everythingdigital1 i managed to fix the problem the micro sd card i had was to large, i was waiting for a new one to arrive (sorry about the late response).
@@daylesorrell6005 It's k and sorry for the late reply glad to hear you figured the issue out and yea the r4 cards can be picky I think the highest they go is 32gb and lowest 2gb. But I had issues with 2gb and 4gb sd cards either being slow or not working at all. the sweet spot is 8gb up too 32gb I think.
I believe so but if not ysmenu should work for sure I know and I do think they got the older firmware hosted else where. Also Sorry for the late reply.
Sounds like wrong sd card type either format or wrong kernel files. Cards up to 32gb fat 32 will work on the r4 I wouldn't go lower then a 8gb sd card I had issues with lower cards then that.
DUDE!! I noticed this video's quite old so I just hope you'll read this. I WAS FUCKING DESPERATE BECAUSE I FORGOT ABOUT THEM DAMN FOLDERS AND YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE THANK YOU I LOVE YOU 😭❤️
I think a lot of kernels can support it if you can't find one try ysmenu it supports most r4 flash cards although I think the site that sold that flash card still has kernel files up for it I can try to look.. Also sorry for the late reply back.
Mind posting a link of a vid that explains how to remove a timebomb? I bought a r4 gold from Amazon yesterday so I can play rare DS games and it's the closest thing to playing them on the ds
If I recall it been awhile but YsMenu it's installed the same way I believe and removes most time bombs if you happen to get a r4 gold that has one I do think the interface looks different compared to the stock kernel and stuff. gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/ wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/YSMenu
Make sure the game is in a .nds format and that you got the correct kernel files. Also be sure to google if the game has issues with the r4 gold. Almost all games go great and fine but there are a few exceptions that need the game patched first or an option checked in the cheats menu on the game before you launch it.
Hi thx for video i have dsi was working with akcard but i updated to 1.4.5e so if i understand i need r4 card to make it work again? Is the same process as i see in your video?
I think if you put this into a dsi you only get access to ds games same goes if you put a r4 gold pro in a 3ds. Sorry for the late reply and yes the steps are the same pretty much as far as i'm aware.
Where is the best place to get a R for a card what type is the best what is the website I need to go to to download the R Ford stuff thanks I appreciate any help I am new to this and have no clue what I’m doing
Well I personally got my r4 card from ebay they might have them on amazon too but I know that is hit and miss. As of the firmware I believe the site I have in the description is pretty up to date with the kernel files for the r4 cards.
Homebrew is optional if you want it skip over it. You don't need it really I just showed it since homebrew is custom apps and user created content installing it is a little different. But yea all you need is your .nds games and the kernel files.
Even without the software and stuff downloaded onto the card,should it appear on the 3ds screen? Im 90% ive done everything right but I just dont see it coming up,my other cartridges work tho
Hmm odd as far as im aware nothing on your r4 should still make the bomberman game appear and it would boot with a ? or insert micro sd from what I remember. I would try to put some of the kernel files on the card and see if that works if it the 2020 r4 gold pro I heard they changed some stuff like roms don't work in folders or something now so maybe that just another 2020 r4 gold pro quirk. All I got is the 2019 version so I can't say for certain.
Is there a way to have the card to where it loads up automatically like how you turned it on the first time rather than to manually load into it with the Bomberman game like the second time you turned it on?
It is in the default settings on the ds take the r4 card out and load the settings page it at the bottom on the touch screen hit the wrench then the top option. Change from manual mode to auto mode it will then auto launch the r4 or what ever ds game you have in the top slot. Hope this helps and sorry for the late reply.
I'm a little lost at the homebrew part, when I click the homebrew link, I just get a list of a bunch of different homebrews and don't know which one to download?
Homebrew is optional. Just wanted to show how you would install and use custom apps and emulators that other people made on the r4. If all you wanna do is games all you need is the kernel and the nds roms.
@@ElectricBlitzNinja Means the kernel isn't installed right. Check the sd card format make sure it fat32 if my memory is correct. Also some people had better odds on newer firmware just placing the roms in the root directory of the sd card and not in a roms folder. If you still run into issues upload the image and give me a link of what is on the sd card of the r4.
Sorry for the late reply kernel is needed to make the r4 work. The homebrew is custom software that runs on the r4 this could be games others made or software. The r4 also lets you play game back ups which is nice if you want all your ds games on one card and want to preserve the original games so you don't lose them.
@@everythingdigital1 Thanks, I currently have a problem with my R4 right now, maybe you can help me? Long story short, I created a copy of the R4's original files that it came with then proceeded to format it and follow the video's steps but upon booting up in my ds lite I get stuck at a white screen. Am I doing something wrong?
@@Starkiller567 White screen and any thing else? Normally from what I remember a white screen and a sd image pops up when the kernel isnt on or the sd card isn't recognized. Try to re-download the kernel and reformat the micro sd card as fat 32. Also cards under 8gb are a bit odd with the r4 cards I tried a 4gb didn't work but a 2gb did just bad so I suggest 8gb or higher.
@@everythingdigital1 It just shows a completely white screen and nothing else. I don't understand why it wont load since it loaded just fine out of the box which was just yesterday. Also another weird thing, I placed the original files that it came reinstalled with yet the white screen pops up.
Homebrew is optional check the kernel files. Also what size sd card are you using that can cause issues. Sorry for the late reply been a bit sick so been off. I recommend a 32gb sd card it's what I always had work the best. I noticed with 4gb ones it will work but eventually give out due to space issues cause you need to have space for the games and the saves.
Just nds but there is homebrew which can get some gba games to play some will have noticeable glitching though. Just depends on the game. www.gamebrew.org/wiki/List_of_DS_homebrew_emulators
Hey, I bought the gold card and I am still experiencing the issues where the games are just not loading - It does not appear to pulling through the logo of the games either. What is Homebrew and do I need this for the NDS roms to work?
If you wanna play your nintendo ds games only then you only need the kernel files and the nds roms. And the issue your describing I think is a micro sd card issue I ran into it not to long ago downgrading sd cards to a smaller one. Something I noticed 8gb and higher micro sd cards work better I tried a 4gb one didn't work but a 2gb one did and it did the same issues your describing. It happens when there isn't enough room to load the game or to have game saves it just lags out. I would try another micro sd card if this helps let me know and sorry for the late reply.
Give the site a little it still available just seems the download is down. I'll look for a alternate link for you in the mean time and hopefully they fix the download before I find a different link.
I think I found a new link it even has some patches if you plan to use this r4 in a 3ds as well. I haven't tested it but the files seem to be all there. Give this download a shot if this doesn't go just use ysmenu till the official link up again.

@@greengoblinvsspider Sorry for delayed response been sick and it been a busy last few days. With custom firmware I heard it possible but I would use just 32gb. Get 3 32gb cards and you can have the whole nds collection on 3 cards.
I had an older r4 card in my kid's dsxl. It went bad after some time.. A timebomb or something. I bought a new genuine 2019 Gold Pro off newegg. I have her old 8gb sdhc that I backed up and will leave untouched. It doenst work in the new r4 card. Anyway, I have no idea which files are her game "progress" files. Id rather she not have to start games all over. Which files would these be? Im switching to a larger 16gb sdhc card that has some stuff on it. It needs to be formatted. What format settings should I use... If it matters? NTFS, Fat32, exFAT and what allocation size? Thanks!
Well fat32 is the preferred format and as of game saves I would need to check my ds right now im away but tomorrow ill let you know definitively where those go. I think they go where ever the games are from what I remember so just transferring where ever you have your games on the sd card should work but like I said ill check tomorrow sorry I can't right now.
@@everythingdigital1 I figured it out. .sav files from the old card are the files where your game progress is saved. And FAT32 works just fine. Thanks for putting together this video. You made a kid happy and her amateur hacker dad's life easier lol
My R4i is the 2010 model Upgrade 1.41, i cannot seem to find the right kernel to download, is it too old or should i just pick the oldest one they have?
Shouldnt mess the card up to mess with the kernels I can try to have a look then if you need me too and see if I can find the right one. But I would just try it if it goes let me know.
also, how can you play music on an r4? do you need to get a homebrew app or do you just play it from the menu? and can you keep the music playing with the lid shut?
I don't really know I never messed around with it but it does have a built in music player from what I can remember but it only reads specific file formats not mp3. But there is other homebrew media players but the ds isn't too powerful so it can only read specific formats.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it only gives me a red folder icon with "menu" written inside it. Buttons and touch screen don't do anything. Using a R4 Gold Pro 2020 card. What am I doing wrong? I followed everything just right
Use 8gb or higher micro sd card up to 32gb make sure the format is fat32 and that you got the kernel files on your r4. It isn't finding the kernel files on the micro sd card most likely it the micro sd card your using I had 4gb sd cards not work and 2gb ones did but just slow the r4 is suppose to support 4gb and 2gb cards but most peoples don't work with them.
@@everythingdigital1 That's probably it then cause the only one I had lying around is a 256gb card I bought on sale today lmao I'll head to the store and get a smaller one to try out. Thank you!
Update: IT WORKED! All I needed to do was switch the SD card and everything worked like a charm! Bigger isn't always better I guess, lol. Appreciate the help!
I think the 3ds can be softmodded so you shouldn't need a card I wish I could explain but I don't wanna point you in wrong direction i don't got a 3ds or dsi at the moment. Also sorry for late reply youtube hides comments randomly and i'm just now getting them it seems.
Do you have room on the sd card? Not having enough room to create a save file can cause that. Also hit "b" on the game a couple of times on the r4 menu should have some options to mess with when it comes with saving if I remember correctly.
I would try to put the firmware on again and if that doesn't work try another micro sd card. Also there are fake cards out there I heard and you can tell them apart from the logo and the official site will have a picture to show you if its a fake r4 card or not. The fake cards have timers on them from what I heard.
I’ve got no idea if you still check the comments on this video but I’m using the 2020 R4 SDHC Dual-Core card on my DSI XL. The game files show up but when I try to start up a game I just get a blank white screen. Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks
Hey so when I try and download the kernel file it opens a new tab then closes that new tab within a second, which causes it to not even start the download?
Got any kind of weird ad blocking or pop up blocking?? Also what year is the card so I can send you to a different link for the kernel. Just a heads up I tried the link it still works so try a different browser or turn any pop up blocker off maybe.
Could be a that the r4 you had was timebombed. If not the sd card could be bad. I would first try to copy the files off the sd card reformat it and then copy the files back on and replace the kernel files with newer ones.
What I can tell is you maybe need to update the kernel files or you got a super old r4 card. I'd try to update the kernel files if it still doesn't go try to re-download the game giving you issues.
I did everything exactly as you did, and I am getting a "?MENU" error. I've tried to fix this several times but I keep on either getting this or "FAKE CARD, PLEASE RETURN TO RETAILER". My r4 card is SDHC Dual-Core 2020 and I downloaded the right kernel. I also formatted my sd card. Any help?
Try a different micro sd card some under 8gb are really unstable either they work or they don't at all. Anything 8gb and higher try to use. And if that doesn't work here is another source for your kernel files it sounds like you got a timebombed card these files are for the 2020 r4 card. If it stops working in a year switch to ysmenu. www.r43ds.org/pages/R4-3DS-Gold-Pro-Firmware.html
@@everythingdigital1 Thanks alot! I will let you know if these work. I was using a 4gb card and I'm hoping that that was the problem. I tried the firmware from your link but that still gives me a "?MENU" error.
@@zinteny Glad you got it working I had my suspicion it was the micro sd card since I ran into the issue before the r4 cards are just picky they use to have a chart showing micro sd compatibility but I since lost it.
Hey guys i need your help! I know it's not that hard setting up the r4, but im a bit confused, i have a r4 sdhc the silver 1, and it has the year of 2018, if i dowoad the latest kernel of 2019, will it gonna work? Or i should download the specifide year only? Tnx for the concern guys!
I don't got the silver but more then anything it shouldn't hurt the card putting a newer kernel on. If it don't work take the new kernel off and then load the old one. As long as the card isn't a clone card or knock off the year the kernel was release shouldn't matter.
I heard of this error I forget what exactly it is but if you can re-install the kernel files and make sure the sd card is fat32. Ill see what I can find out and if the issue is still happening after re-installing the files i'll hopefully have a answer by the time you reply back.
i cant find any roms that end with .nds and when i do i try and transfer it renamed and it says "copy operation failed this file could not be modified" im on chromebook
If it is in a .zip format unzip it with the default zip application or download an alternate one I think winrar is available on the chrome book any way once the file is extracted that will leave just the .nds file. And as of the files not renaming I can't really say I don't got a chrome book but it doesn't sound like you got admin rights or are on a quest account?
@@finzo777 If your using a micro sd to sd card adapter there is a lock switch make sure that is not in the locked position.

The time bomb depends on the manufacturer of the r4 card. If you happen to have a timed bomb card you can install ysmenu kernel it will make the card work again but most cards out now are generally safe.
@@alexiademers9326 should be fine just make sure you got the right kernel files on the sd card but besides that if anything happens transfer the saves and install ysmenu but I think your card will be fine.

Question! My previous r4 card got damaged (idiot me I know lol :'>) and I'm gonna get a replacement for it so I wanted to ask, if I put in the microSD card into the new r4 cartridge, my microSD card already has a TON of games on it I've played before, will my previous save files still be there when I open it in the new cartridge or no? Along with all the cheats and everything? I'm new to r4 and it belongs to my friend so I am very new at this I am sorry!
You might need to replace kernel files and depending on how the saves are stored I think you might lose them but it will most likely work you will have your games at the very least.
@@everythingdigital1 Why is that actually? I REALLY don't want to lose the save files since my friend has many many other sd cards they use to play many different games... How do I know how its been saved?

Lmao the last part the box does have the shape. But just to be safe if putting a game on doesn't work download the kernel files for it any way and reformat the sd card as fat32. It should work on 3ds from what I am told. But you only can play ds games with the r4 gold pro so don't expect it to play 3ds game roms.
@@JoseGarcia-gp8ch Any site should really do but most roms come in .zip format so you have to extract them till they only show .nds at the end.

Sorry I been without wifi past like 6 days. I would check the format of the sd card and use a sd card 8gb in size or more I had issues with 4gb cards and 2gb cards some would work some wouldn't. If you got a good micro sd and it is the right format try to redownload the kernel files again.
I dont got a 3ds from what I remember the 3ds part of the r4 gold pro just means you can play nindendo ds games on the 3ds it doesnt let you play 3ds games with it. To do that you can softmod the 3ds instead then you can do 3ds games.
Sorry I been out with out wifi so forgive the late reply. Do you got a picture of your card or where you ordered it from. Also if you got some way to write down what files are on the micro sd please do. This sounds like a knock off card but you might just need the older firmware or too use ysmenu.
Just means you installed the kernel wrong. Kernel files don't go in a folder they go directly on the sd card after they are unzipped. Also make sure the sd card is fat32 in format.
If you can join my discord or use imgbb to upload a image or screenshot of what is on the sd card i'll let you know if something isn't set up right if you need help. imgbb.com/
I believe so. Its the kernel that has it from what im aware but I havent messed with ds stuff in awhile. If you got a time bomb and cant reload a known good kernel "ysmenu" should work on a card that been time bombed.

---Is It necessary to download those non-official kernel files cuz I knew them while I was trying to search about this ?? --- Can I skip this homebrew things or I should download them cuz theyre important ?? --- I knew about YSMenu N TTmenu what should I do about aaaaall this I'm literally confused :( Hope u help me n show me the right simple steps pleeaaaseeee
@@achrafelbadre4098 I think if i remember right the ysmenu n ttmenu are for fake r4 cards with time out bombs on them unless yours is a clone and has a time out on it just use the default kernal files you will need them in order to launch homebrew. If your r4 ever shows a date on it and it won't boot it probably had a time out on it then and only then you can try the non official files.
@@everythingdigital1 I still have dat r4 card the one that came with the DSL I tried really a lot of times downloading normal kernel files : Moonshl2 , R4.dat , R4iMenu and another one idr ... whatever I put these in the root of the SD card with a mario kart still dat loading... I'm really pissed off :(
@@achrafelbadre4098 Hmm idk try a different sd card or get a different r4 card maybe the one you got with the dsl is messed up. I mean the r4 cards are cheap on ebay like I got one for 5$ and another for 7$ for both my ds lites and they been fine.
I have an important question, do you need the homebrew folder to play normal DS games like Pokémon? or are the game files with the kernel files enough?
Game files and kernel files all you need homebrew is optional only showed how that is done cause some people may want to try it and setting up homebrew is a bit differnt.
@@everythingdigital1 thank you for that. Now I am having a different issue. My games aren't saving. I tried loading the save files on the kernel home but it ether isn't working or I can't figure it out. Is there any way so that it saves like normal in games?
@@andrewdesowitz5484 Should just save as if you were playing any other game to the sd card. Do you have space on your sd card? also sorry for the late reply.
Please HELP ME! I can open the r4 menu but when I open a game which I have in the nds rom folder it says „savfile not found“. As you said I renamed the game with „MarioKart.nds“ or mariokart.nds or mario.kart.game.nds“ instead but nothing worked. Please help me, I would be so grateful! Thanks forwards
Try putting game on root of micro sd card and not in a folder I heard some weird stuff about the r4 2020 cards needing games outside of a folder? Also let me know what size micro sd card you got I tried a 2gb one before worked but never loaded games and a 4gb one that didn't work at all. I suggest 8gb up too 32gb.
@@everythingdigital1 I put the games on root of the micro sd card and renamed the games in lowercase and it worked! Thank you so much, I am honestly trying to fix the r4 card error for almost 3 years. I watched so many videos but never knew what the issue was. Your video is the best I‘ve watched. I‘m glad I found your video. Have a nice day!
I followed the tutorial and when I start it then it shows a pic that says "? MENU" and I am using a 32 gb sd card with the kernel that you linked in the pinned comment
Can I do this through my phone if I put my micro SD in it? I brought a revolution with games on it already, but I can't seem to get the Japanese version of MKDS to copy onto the SD card. I have played other games on it so I know it works. Must I find a rom that ends in NDS?
Yeah if I recall zips of nds games don't work you will need a file that ends in .nds. As of transferring games from the phone I can't really tell you I never done it but I imagine transferring games could be possible over the phone but I never tried it so I don't know.
@@everythingdigital1 Thanks for replying. Over these last few hours I managed to set it up perfectly after formatting the SD and using the newest version of WoodR4. I did it all through my phone too 😂 makes sense since phones are so powerful now and R4 is kind of outdated.
Sounds like a kernel issue what size is your sd card and make sure it is formatted correctly. My guess is that the micro sd card your using doesn't play well with the r4. I used a 32 gb downgraded to a 4gb card it didn't work but a 2gb sd card did just but. I suggest a micro sd card 8gb or higher I think the highest you can go is 32gb.
@@everythingdigital1 The micro SD is a 16gb. I've got it working now, (as in I can get to the menu) but the games won't load? It keeps popping up with a black error screen and they're not in the games folder, just the middle one
@@sophiemccall332 Try moving the games and make sure they are not in .zip format but extracted and in .nds format. Oh this may be a issue too but since you didn't say what format the sd card is check the sd card format is it in fat32?
@@everythingdigital1 The card is in fat32, and I have the games in both nds and sav format. The keep saying corrupted, where they didn't before when I originally moved them over
@@sophiemccall332 Hmm that is odd. Send a link to where you got the r4 and a picture of the structure of the folders on the sd card. I would re-download the kernel and if it doesn't work then try ysmenu I personally haven't tried it yet but I know with ysmenu it will get clone r4 cards running.
Check the format of the sd card fat32 it needs to be and I suggest using 8gb or higher had issue with 4gb sd cards and a 2gb card worked just bad. Also make sure the games end .nds don't wanna use zip roms.
i moved to this from r4i sdhc and honestly i think i prefer that card over this one because of the theme options, not having to edit file names, it can read old saves from my phone/sheild/pc and the gold wont, the list options, etc someone argue with me
@@SugarEthnoherpetological Just be aware I suggest any sd card over 8gb or over I tried a 4gb didn't work at all then I tried a 2gb it did but bad and you couldn't hold much since you need free space for the r4 to work and create save files.
I'm probably gonna stick to my old cart and resell this one to a friend or store for collecting purposes because I'm not getting anymore functionality out of this especially when I have a hacked new 3DS 😅
@@SugarEthnoherpetological Yeah the 3ds is pretty cool I been meaning to look for one but I never find one for cheap where i'm at one day I will I hope lol some of the homebrew and rom hacks are cool I know.

update: this works, the problem is my DS light it got a broken pin so it's not reading the card properly. but when i tested it on a different unit it actually works! Thanks
2 shoulder buttons pressed and all " x y b a " If I recall right that is the combination. Just know the combination doesn't work on homebrew apps but in ds games that should let you enter the menu.
I haven't experimented with it like that but if you load your games onto the r4 card you can enable cheats. As of being able to swap out to another card while playing I never tried but I imagine it doesn't work that way.
The site that hosts the kernel files is down... I'll try to find a archive for it sometime this week hopefully sooner then later i'll also be archiving and hosting the kernel files that are on my ds flash card. I will probably revive my site too I haven't posted to it in awhile and I been meaning to host some of the archives there for awhile now.

Any updates? Can't get the files for my 2021 gold pro
Fantastic guide, been sitting on an r4 for over a year and finally decided to give it a whirl. I was up and running in less than 10 minutes.
One of my friends accidently updated my DS a couple of years ago (I think 4/5), I was very young at the time and didn't know how to fix it, now, thanks to this tutorial it does work again, thank you so much! :D
Thank you. Best tutorial for this by far. The other ones I found always gave dead links or links with different folders/files then in their videos. Thank you for saving me the painful headache!
Your welcome!!! :D Glad to hear the video helped you out.
Hey dude, I gotta hand it to you. For the past year or so I have been *dying* to get my 2 old R4 cards running again, but they just didn't work right no matter what I did. Just today I received the exact same R4 card you have right there to see if it would work, but it didn't seem to. I thought all hope was lost until I watched this video, I don't know how it changed anything (I'm not a genius with this sort of thing) but I was pleasantly surprised to see it boot up (before I watched this I only got a "? Menu" error screen with every other tutorial) but either way it worked. As I previously mentioned I have 2 R4 cards, an original that isn't recognised by my DS at all, and the other gave me an error screen no matter what I did, so perhaps if I were to follow this tutorial I could get it working? Once again I have to give you props for being the one person that gave proper instructions on how to get my R4 card working :)
Thx this is the first video that actually worked for me Thx
I just set up the EZ Flash Omega for my GBAsp last week, and it was so awesome that I had to get a flashcart for my 2DS as well. I should be receiving it in the mail this weekend, can’t wait to try this out. ☺️ In my free time I also installed Henkaku Enso on my PS Vita... y’all can tell I have way too much time on my hands with this whole social distancing mess lmao.
I got bored of being in the house so I went in the shed and found my old dsi from when I was four... Or six idk
I've been missing out big time XD
I literally designed my own windows xp theme for use with the kernel you get on the website in the video lmao. R4 gold is so amazing. Trading pokemon over to legit copies and then moving them to the 3ds is amazing.
I been using mine a lot lately to re-flash gba repo cards. Its like having a gba flash card in slot 2 just ready to go no longer need to use the hit and miss emulators for gba games lol.
Finally got around to getting a better sized micro sc card for mine and been doing it non-stop so thought i'd give you all a r4gold pro 2019 update. It's still working in 2020 and I might make a video on the emulators that work ok on the ds lite r4 as well since I tried a few out.
Whats the max size SD card for this thing?
@@demonheart13 Sorry for the late comment 32gb is the max size limit for most r4 cards.
upon loading a game i only get white screen???
@@itachiuchiha2129 Sorry for late reply been out and without wifi. I would try a different sd card if your using anything under 8gb even though the r4 supports it I suggest not using it I had a 4gb sd not work at all and a 2gb one did but slow if yours if smaller then 8gb change it out and put the kernel files back on let me know if this helps.
@@everythingdigital1 yep tried 32gb and now its working thanks :)
Is there any place you can recommend to get a pre-built image for the MicroSD? I know there are many settings you can tweak, but I'd rather a polished experience.
I haven't looked into pre-build images but if I had to take a guess maybe "arcade punks". They have pre-built images for just about anything. But I think finding pre-build images will be hard cause the r4 has so many clone cards and some even got time bombs so putting a image on with the wrong year would just result in it not booting. I'd just suggest setting the r4 up from scratch it doesn't take too long then just getting a .nds rom pack and throwing it on the sd card.
Thank you so much! I have been trying to work my R4 card for so long without any luck, but this worked perfectly.
Your welcome and glad to hear my video helped you out. :D
I've followed your instructions but when loading the card, I get this blank white screen. Any ideas why ?
Try to reformat the sd card as fat 32 and re-download the kernel files if that doesn't solve it try to install ysmenu its for fraud r4 cards with time bombs but does work on the standard r4 cards as well.

Does this still work for the newest 3ds update or nah?
@@assaultapple6561 I dont got a 3ds but I imagine this will work still all the r4 does is fake that it is another game which boots into a launcher to launch other ds games or homebrew.

@@assaultapple6561 I ordered mine on ebay and it really depends on who you order it from and how much you pay. I went for the cheapest one which had a decent rating just to make sure I was getting what I ordered. I think it showed up in a day or 2 for me.
My R4 card stopped working on my DSi after I updated my DS. I ordered the newest r4 card on amazon. Do I just take the SD out of the old one and put it in the new one, then will it work? Or do I have to go into the actual SD card and update any files?
Might have to update the kernels but the saves and games should be fine.
Only video thats worked, thank you! I can also see that you work hard replying to all the comments. Great work man, youre a legend. Subscribed and liked.
Thanks man that so nice to hear. Also glad my video was able to help you out.
On the home brew list at the website, which one did you pick, specifically???
Homebrew isn't required for the r4 too work just the kernel files and your .nds games. I only showed the homebrew off so if any one was interested they would know how it works since installing homebrew can be a bit odd.
I just got my R4 this was very helpful thank you.
I had couple of errors but finally works.
I’m not 100 % sure how this is gonna work but I’m so confident I’m gonna go ahead and buy the card

I have an R4i SDHC DS happy box upgrade v1.41, Do I need to find kernel files to support this old card?
I think a lot of kernels can support it if you can't find one try ysmenu it supports most r4 flash cards although I think the site that sold that flash card still has kernel files up for it I can try to look.. Also sorry for the late reply back.
Mind posting a link of a vid that explains how to remove a timebomb? I bought a r4 gold from Amazon yesterday so I can play rare DS games and it's the closest thing to playing them on the ds
If I recall it been awhile but YsMenu it's installed the same way I believe and removes most time bombs if you happen to get a r4 gold that has one I do think the interface looks different compared to the stock kernel and stuff.

How do you add games and what website because i tried to download new super mario bros and it wont work
Make sure the game is in a .nds format and that you got the correct kernel files. Also be sure to google if the game has issues with the r4 gold. Almost all games go great and fine but there are a few exceptions that need the game patched first or an option checked in the cheats menu on the game before you launch it.
Hi thx for video i have dsi was working with akcard but i updated to 1.4.5e so if i understand i need r4 card to make it work again? Is the same process as i see in your video?
I think if you put this into a dsi you only get access to ds games same goes if you put a r4 gold pro in a 3ds. Sorry for the late reply and yes the steps are the same pretty much as far as i'm aware.
this was helpful, I did it before. I got a new sd card, but I couldn't find the R4 card
Where is the best place to get a R for a card what type is the best what is the website I need to go to to download the R Ford stuff thanks I appreciate any help I am new to this and have no clue what I’m doing
Well I personally got my r4 card from ebay they might have them on amazon too but I know that is hit and miss. As of the firmware I believe the site I have in the description is pretty up to date with the kernel files for the r4 cards.
I didn´t understand the whole Homebrew part. What is the differnece between Homebrew folder and NDS ROMS folder?
Homebrew is optional if you want it skip over it. You don't need it really I just showed it since homebrew is custom apps and user created content installing it is a little different. But yea all you need is your .nds games and the kernel files.
Even without the software and stuff downloaded onto the card,should it appear on the 3ds screen? Im 90% ive done everything right but I just dont see it coming up,my other cartridges work tho
Hmm odd as far as im aware nothing on your r4 should still make the bomberman game appear and it would boot with a ? or insert micro sd from what I remember. I would try to put some of the kernel files on the card and see if that works if it the 2020 r4 gold pro I heard they changed some stuff like roms don't work in folders or something now so maybe that just another 2020 r4 gold pro quirk. All I got is the 2019 version so I can't say for certain.
@@everythingdigital1 yeah its confusing,if I cant get it working in the next two days or so Ill just buy a 2019 version I guess
Is there a way to have the card to where it loads up automatically like how you turned it on the first time rather than to manually load into it with the Bomberman game like the second time you turned it on?
It is in the default settings on the ds take the r4 card out and load the settings page it at the bottom on the touch screen hit the wrench then the top option. Change from manual mode to auto mode it will then auto launch the r4 or what ever ds game you have in the top slot. Hope this helps and sorry for the late reply.
to download the r4 kernel in the site, for the gold pro one, we have to download the most recent update right?
I believe so if it does't work let me know.
@@everythingdigital1 ok, thank u very much :)
I'm a little lost at the homebrew part, when I click the homebrew link, I just get a list of a bunch of different homebrews and don't know which one to download?
Homebrew is optional. Just wanted to show how you would install and use custom apps and emulators that other people made on the r4. If all you wanna do is games all you need is the kernel and the nds roms.
@@everythingdigital1 Hi, I have another problem. Whenever I start up the Gold Pro: I get a white screen and a message saying "Menu?"
@@ElectricBlitzNinja Means the kernel isn't installed right. Check the sd card format make sure it fat32 if my memory is correct. Also some people had better odds on newer firmware just placing the roms in the root directory of the sd card and not in a roms folder. If you still run into issues upload the image and give me a link of what is on the sd card of the r4.
whats the difference between home-brew and kernel? sorry if i sound like a noob but this is my first time doing this kind of stuff.
Sorry for the late reply kernel is needed to make the r4 work. The homebrew is custom software that runs on the r4 this could be games others made or software. The r4 also lets you play game back ups which is nice if you want all your ds games on one card and want to preserve the original games so you don't lose them.
@@everythingdigital1 Thanks, I currently have a problem with my R4 right now, maybe you can help me? Long story short, I created a copy of the R4's original files that it came with then proceeded to format it and follow the video's steps but upon booting up in my ds lite I get stuck at a white screen.

I have a white screen while runing the programm. Maybe i didnt insalled something in a homebrew folder?
Homebrew is optional check the kernel files. Also what size sd card are you using that can cause issues. Sorry for the late reply been a bit sick so been off. I recommend a 32gb sd card it's what I always had work the best. I noticed with 4gb ones it will work but eventually give out due to space issues cause you need to have space for the games and the saves.
I know this vid is old but does it work with GBA roms too or other types? Or is it just for NDS roms?
Just nds but there is homebrew which can get some gba games to play some will have noticeable glitching though. Just depends on the game.

Hey, I bought the gold card and I am still experiencing the issues where the games are just not loading - It does not appear to pulling through the logo of the games either. What is Homebrew and do I need this for the NDS roms to work?
If you wanna play your nintendo ds games only then you only need the kernel files and the nds roms. And the issue your describing I think is a micro sd card issue I ran into it not to long ago downgrading sd cards to a smaller one. Something I noticed 8gb and higher micro sd cards work better I tried a 4gb one didn't work but a 2gb one did and it did the same issues your describing. It happens when there isn't enough room to load the game or to have game saves it just lags out. I would try another micro sd card if this helps let me know and sorry for the late reply.
i have the r4 gold pro version of 2013 and there is no more download link for that what do i do now?
Give the site a little it still available just seems the download is down. I'll look for a alternate link for you in the mean time and hopefully they fix the download before I find a different link.
I think I found a new link it even has some patches if you plan to use this r4 in a 3ds as well. I haven't tested it but the files seem to be all there. Give this download a shot if this doesn't go just use ysmenu till the official link up again. I'll also upload the kernel i'm using on my r4 gold pro just in case the other link doesn't go it won't be up for a while though.

How much storage (GB) for the SD card would you recommend?
Sorry for late reply I suggest 8gb I didn't find out till after lower cards can be iffy and sometimes don't work. Most times 8gb and higher up too 32gb seem to work fine.
everythingdigital1 cheers! Set up everything the way you explained it, works perfectly!
@@everythingdigital1 can you use more higher gb then 32gb
@@greengoblinvsspider Sorry for delayed response been sick and it been a busy last few days. With custom firmware I heard it possible but I would use just 32gb. Get 3 32gb cards and you can have the whole nds collection on 3 cards.
I had an older r4 card in my kid's dsxl. It went bad after some time.. A timebomb or something. I bought a new genuine 2019 Gold Pro off newegg. I have her old 8gb sdhc that I backed up and will leave untouched. It doenst work in the new r4 card.
Anyway, I have no idea which files are her game "progress" files. Id rather she not have to start games all over. Which files would these be?
Im switching to a larger 16gb sdhc card that has some stuff on it. It needs to be formatted. What format settings should I use... If it matters? NTFS, Fat32, exFAT and what allocation size? Thanks!
Well fat32 is the preferred format and as of game saves I would need to check my ds right now im away but tomorrow ill let you know definitively where those go. I think they go where ever the games are from what I remember so just transferring where ever you have your games on the sd card should work but like I said ill check tomorrow sorry I can't right now.
@@everythingdigital1 I figured it out. .sav files from the old card are the files where your game progress is saved. And FAT32 works just fine. Thanks for putting together this video. You made a kid happy and her amateur hacker dad's life easier lol
My R4i is the 2010 model Upgrade 1.41, i cannot seem to find the right kernel to download, is it too old or should i just pick the oldest one they have?
Shouldnt mess the card up to mess with the kernels I can try to have a look then if you need me too and see if I can find the right one. But I would just try it if it goes let me know.
also, how can you play music on an r4? do you need to get a homebrew app or do you just play it from the menu? and can you keep the music playing with the lid shut?
I don't really know I never messed around with it but it does have a built in music player from what I can remember but it only reads specific file formats not mp3. But there is other homebrew media players but the ds isn't too powerful so it can only read specific formats.
@@everythingdigital1 okay! thanks for the help! ill figure it out eventually :D
Do I need Homebrew or can I go without it?
No need for homebrew
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it only gives me a red folder icon with "menu" written inside it. Buttons and touch screen don't do anything. Using a R4 Gold Pro 2020 card. What am I doing wrong? I followed everything just right
Use 8gb or higher micro sd card up to 32gb make sure the format is fat32 and that you got the kernel files on your r4. It isn't finding the kernel files on the micro sd card most likely it the micro sd card your using I had 4gb sd cards not work and 2gb ones did but just slow the r4 is suppose to support 4gb and 2gb cards but most peoples don't work with them.
@@everythingdigital1 That's probably it then cause the only one I had lying around is a 256gb card I bought on sale today lmao I'll head to the store and get a smaller one to try out. Thank you!
Okay so I'm back. The smallest they had in stock was 16gb so we're crossing our fingers and hoping for the best lol. Wish me luck.
Update: IT WORKED! All I needed to do was switch the SD card and everything worked like a charm! Bigger isn't always better I guess, lol. Appreciate the help!
Hi, I need help on how to transfer games from the SD Card to the System Memory on either a DSi or a 3DS
I think the 3ds can be softmodded so you shouldn't need a card I wish I could explain but I don't wanna point you in wrong direction i don't got a 3ds or dsi at the moment. Also sorry for late reply youtube hides comments randomly and i'm just now getting them it seems.
How do you save the games when you leave cause cod won't save
Do you have room on the sd card? Not having enough room to create a save file can cause that. Also hit "b" on the game a couple of times on the r4 menu should have some options to mess with when it comes with saving if I remember correctly.
thanks man I'm going to get mine in a couple weeks and this is going to help me set it up.
Glad my video was able to help you out let me know how it all goes and have fun gaming and running homebrew on your ds once it shows up. :D
Hi, can you help me when i insert r4 into nitendo it comes out when i open savefile not funded
I would try to put the firmware on again and if that doesn't work try another micro sd card. Also there are fake cards out there I heard and you can tell them apart from the logo and the official site will have a picture to show you if its a fake r4 card or not. The fake cards have timers on them from what I heard.
Is the one ur using fake
I’ve got no idea if you still check the comments on this video but I’m using the 2020 R4 SDHC Dual-Core card on my DSI XL. The game files show up but when I try to start up a game I just get a blank white screen. Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks
Sounds like a kernel issue also use sd cards 8gb up to 32gb formatted as fat32 any sd cards lower or higher in size will have issues or not work.
Hey so when I try and download the kernel file it opens a new tab then closes that new tab within a second, which causes it to not even start the download?
Got any kind of weird ad blocking or pop up blocking?? Also what year is the card so I can send you to a different link for the kernel. Just a heads up I tried the link it still works so try a different browser or turn any pop up blocker off maybe.
What do I do if it says system file is missing? (Just a question because this used to happen to me when I did these right)
Could be a that the r4 you had was timebombed. If not the sd card could be bad. I would first try to copy the files off the sd card reformat it and then copy the files back on and replace the kernel files with newer ones.
@@everythingdigital1 Is it possible to make it like "untimebombed"?
@@everythingdigital1 I will try that
When I added a game it said load rom error code 1 how do I fix that.
What I can tell is you maybe need to update the kernel files or you got a super old r4 card. I'd try to update the kernel files if it still doesn't go try to re-download the game giving you issues.
Nice tutorial! I can now play homebrew on my New 3DSXL.
Does it matter if for example you have the 2017 r4 and you download the 2020 firmware?
From what I heard it shouldn't but most of the firmware is still available all the way back to I think the r4 2016.
Thanks
I did everything exactly as you did, and I am getting a "?MENU" error. I've tried to fix this several times but I keep on either getting this or "FAKE CARD, PLEASE RETURN TO RETAILER". My r4 card is SDHC Dual-Core 2020 and I downloaded the right kernel. I also formatted my sd card. Any help?
Try a different micro sd card some under 8gb are really unstable either they work or they don't at all. Anything 8gb and higher try to use. And if that doesn't work here is another source for your kernel files it sounds like you got a timebombed card these files are for the 2020 r4 card. If it stops working in a year switch to ysmenu.
www.r43ds.org/pages/R4-3DS-Gold-Pro-Firmware.html
@@everythingdigital1 Thanks alot! I will let you know if these work. I was using a 4gb card and I'm hoping that that was the problem. I tried the firmware from your link but that still gives me a "?MENU" error.
Again thanks. I bought a 32gb one since it was only 2 dollars more expensive then the 16gb one, and it worked. I subscribed.
@@zinteny Glad you got it working I had my suspicion it was the micro sd card since I ran into the issue before the r4 cards are just picky they use to have a chart showing micro sd compatibility but I since lost it.
Mik Snit if got the same problem, but I fixed it, you need to place the folders 1 for 1. That fixed it for me lol, idk why.
Hey guys i need your help! I know it's not that hard setting up the r4, but im a bit confused, i have a r4 sdhc the silver 1, and it has the year of 2018, if i dowoad the latest kernel of 2019, will it gonna work? Or i should download the specifide year only? Tnx for the concern guys!
I don't got the silver but more then anything it shouldn't hurt the card putting a newer kernel on. If it don't work take the new kernel off and then load the old one. As long as the card isn't a clone card or knock off the year the kernel was release shouldn't matter.
Hey tnx for the help! So what you're saying is, it's just ok to put or dowload a latest or old ver. kernel for the r4? Pls Enlighten me if im wrong😯

@@muhammedalizrl I bought my dsi and r4 from a website called shopee its an asian online shopping
I have dsi I bought it about 40$
I'm using a NDS lite and I keep getting load rom errcode=-1. any solutions?
I heard of this error I forget what exactly it is but if you can re-install the kernel files and make sure the sd card is fat32. Ill see what I can find out and if the issue is still happening after re-installing the files i'll hopefully have a answer by the time you reply back.
Just install YSMenu.
i cant find any roms that end with .nds and when i do i try and transfer it renamed and it says "copy operation failed this file could not be modified" im on chromebook
If it is in a .zip format unzip it with the default zip application or download an alternate one I think winrar is available on the chrome book any way once the file is extracted that will leave just the .nds file. And as of the files not renaming I can't really say I don't got a chrome book but it doesn't sound like you got admin rights or are on a quest account?
@@everythingdigital1 they are already unzipped and i renamed them but the unzipped files wont transfer and also im not on a guest account
@@finzo777 If your using a micro sd to sd card adapter there is a lock switch make sure that is not in the locked position. Also if that isnt the issue you might need to format and or make sure you got enough room on the micro sd card. Also the correct format is fat32 if you end up reformatting the card.
@@everythingdigital1 the sd thing is unlocked but i did get one game to work which is pokemon white since it has .nds at the end and i transferred from my phone
@@finzo777 As long as it got .nds it will work there are some exceptions but I never came across any yet. Oh sd cards do matter I swapped sd cards and even though the other one worked the new one which was smaller gave me issues.
When set up this way, does it stop the time bomb?
The time bomb depends on the manufacturer of the r4 card. If you happen to have a timed bomb card you can install ysmenu kernel it will make the card work again but most cards out now are generally safe.
There is also a guide I can try to find it if you want it. But it will help explain and show the differences between a clone r4 card and a real one.
@@everythingdigital1 thank you very much for your response! I bought the same r4 as in your video (but 2021) so I guess Im gonna be ok?
@@alexiademers9326 should be fine just make sure you got the right kernel files on the sd card but besides that if anything happens transfer the saves and install ysmenu but I think your card will be fine. Also very important lots of people miss this but sd card size should be no bigger then 32gb and no lower then 8gb.
Question! My previous r4 card got damaged (idiot me I know lol :'>) and I'm gonna get a replacement for it so I wanted to ask, if I put in the microSD card into the new r4 cartridge, my microSD card already has a TON of games on it I've played before, will my previous save files still be there when I open it in the new cartridge or no? Along with all the cheats and everything? I'm new to r4 and it belongs to my friend so I am very new at this I am sorry!
You might need to replace kernel files and depending on how the saves are stored I think you might lose them but it will most likely work you will have your games at the very least.
@@everythingdigital1 Why is that actually? I REALLY don't want to lose the save files since my friend has many many other sd cards they use to play many different games... How do I know how its been saved?
@@everythingdigital1 Actually upon checking the sd card again, every NDS file has a SAV file underneath it with the same name but as SAV instead, and usually those are seen as save files for games yes? Would that mean the save files are okay then?

Edit: I got mine on new egg and it was sayin sum about 2020 r4 3ds gold pro revolution for 3ds ndsi xl/ll ndsi ndsl nds looks like a condom box
Lmao the last part the box does have the shape. But just to be safe if putting a game on doesn't work download the kernel files for it any way and reformat the sd card as fat32.

@@everythingdigital1 what websites do u use to download roms?
@@JoseGarcia-gp8ch Any site should really do but most roms come in .zip format so you have to extract them till they only show .nds at the end. How ever there is one decent site which I think has no-intro rom sets so they would come with like 1,000+ games. If I find it i'll link it. They appear to still be uploading pure roms they got a lot from every region so there is duplicates.

What do I do if the card loads a white screen that doesn't load in a menu? please help.
Sorry I been without wifi past like 6 days. I would check the format of the sd card and use a sd card 8gb in size or more I had issues with 4gb cards and 2gb cards some would work some wouldn't. If you got a good micro sd and it is the right format try to redownload the kernel files again.
I assume it's the same for 11.6
And can we mix ds and 3ds games on the R4 gold?
I dont got a 3ds from what I remember the 3ds part of the r4 gold pro just means you can play nindendo ds games on the 3ds it doesnt let you play 3ds games with it. To do that you can softmod the 3ds instead then you can do 3ds games.
Please help. It says on the loading screen “upgrade the hardware for support latest firmware”?
Sorry I been out with out wifi so forgive the late reply. Do you got a picture of your card or where you ordered it from. Also if you got some way to write down what files are on the micro sd please do. This sounds like a knock off card but you might just need the older firmware or too use ysmenu.
everythingdigital1 I figured it out lol. It works just fine now thank you for replying though
when I downloaded the kernal, after putting it in the 3DS it came up as a white screen saying "? MENU" any fixes for this?
Just means you installed the kernel wrong. Kernel files don't go in a folder they go directly on the sd card after they are unzipped. Also make sure the sd card is fat32 in format.

I believe so. Its the kernel that has it from what im aware but I havent messed with ds stuff in awhile.

can you swap it out with an actual ds cartridge with the cheats active like you can with the AR cards? Or can you just load up the AR rom and do it?
I haven't experimented with it like that but if you load your games onto the r4 card you can enable cheats. As of being able to swap out to another card while playing I never tried but I imagine it doesn't work that way.
will it just search the SDcard for roms or do you need to path it to the folder of roms?
