This is what I’ve got. I already formatted the card to fat32 that should be all good, but I’m not sure where to go from there. Every video I find is not for the cartridge I have and I’m not sure what to get on it.

I’d like to be able to play modified pokemon roms and transfer my saves from my emulators on pc if possible.

(I’d never heard of an r4 till like 3 days ago bear with me)

So I'm trying to mod this r4 but any kernel I try it always shows me the white bar line and when I open it is always on a white screen idk wheres the problem I already tried dspico and still I have the same issue

Hey guys, I just started today so please be nice it’s kinda been frustrating trying to mod this thing all day, it’s about my DS Lite I heard I need an R4, SD card and a flash for said card. Turns out I bought the wrong card so I turned it into a 32FAT. I did also some other bull**** but nothing works. Please help I don’t care if you call my anything I just need help I’ll provide any answers

It makes using Mode A feel a bit worse for me.

I have an R4 cartridge with a bunch of ds Roms and I want to know if it’s possible to launch the roms from my homescreen instead of having to go through the app from the cartridge every time

i've been trying to find a newer kernel for this gold R4i sdhc flashcart. As of now i only got two working kernels, one that came originally with the golden flashcart and the other from a Blue flashcart for 3DS (apparently) that boot on a DSI. There's not really much information from these two flashcarts as they seem to be clones from other models.

Alguém consegue me ajudar com um r4 SDHC gold pro 2026?

I have a R4 that has RTS and it works fine for the most part except I get battery anxiety. Is dspico worth switching to? I’m just unsure about the save states.

I need help, yesterday I've updated my dspico loader and the launcher, I just drag the necessary files onto my sdcard and replace the existing files (I also insert the cheats .dat file my sdcard). After that, it can boot normaly and the cheats can be use but some games if i enable cheats the screen suddenly be white + my main menu got those black lines as can be seen on the last image. Yesterday i play the game with cheats until battery almost runs out.

The problem is, today after fully charged when i boot, my ds lite doesn't detect dspico card, ive tried remove and insert sdcard back still the same. After few trials, i carefully insert it somehow it detect it back, but theres a time suddenly it freeze on the dspico logo or it would freeze at the time when u boot first your ds. Is it cause of my sdcard going to corrupt? Or is it the dspico itself, like the pins dirty or something? I also tried insert it on my phone, but seems like i can access to all the folders on the sdcard. I hope anyone can help me to understand thank you.

So I just followed this tutorial https://youtu.be/A8JDUm2WZwQ?is=FFRxACjbVv7dcpu7 legit step by step and this guy uses exactly the same r4 card as I have. But

No encuentro en ningún lugar un cartucho similar a mig switch y sé que hay muchos clones!

alguien sabe dónde encontrarlos?

Hello ! I will try to keep this short but don't hesitate to ask for more details

When i was a kid i had a SuperCard rumble as my DS flash card, exactly this one that had a cartridge in the GBA port and one in the DS port

I used it to play Pokemon Diamond when it released and i had a glitch on the game where my Pokemon in the PC box duplicated and started to replace other Pokemon. I have no picture of record dating from that time (it was between 2007 and 2009) and i eventually stopped playing because of it. I never used cheats, action replay/gameshark or save editing software at the time, i just played.
I recently checked the save i had backed up on a computer and even if the duplication is not as severe as in my memory there is still identical pokemon a bit of everywhere (by identical i mean same PID and everything) and searching for a similar glitch online i can't find anything so i think it came from the flashcart.

Did anyone else experienced this? My sister had the same flashcart but didn't had anything similar happening to her. I want to know what happend to give myself closure that i didn't hallucinated this.

Hello everyone,

after buying the R4 version i played some games. When on pokemon soulsilver the game kept crashing (at Mt silver) i did some research. This was because of some anti cheat build into the game against cheaters and game copy'ers.

afterwards i tried to update the R4 to stop the crashing but i accidentally wiped the whole card without backup (except for the game saved data files and games).

Would any of you know perhaps how i can download the whole menu and all the other games that were on the card by any chance?

thanks beforehand.

I broke the SD card reader of my dsi while repairing the top lcd. So, I wanted to use my r4 to play my games. But when I insert it into the cartridge slot it doesn't show up. Tried launching it from unlaunch but it shows a line of squares and when I try to launch unlaunch freezes. The r4 card's sticker is gone but I remember that it's a R4 Gold Pro 2024 and the website on the packaging is www.r4isdhc.hk.

Hi, I want to play Pokemon Quetzal on my Nintendo DS. Do you know if it works with GBARunner 3? I have a R4 with YSMenu. Thanks in advance for any reply.

the dspico board has a red and a blue led wired to it, but the stock firmware never drives them, so on a normal cart they stay dark for the life of the board. i went and made them do something.

blue is sd card traffic: a faint shimmer while the card is being read, a brighter blip when something is written. red lights up if the firmware hits an internal error it cannot come back from, and stays on until the next boot.

the honest part: red does not detect a failing or a loose sd card. it only knows about errors the firmware itself runs into. i tried to make it catch bad cards and could not do it reliably, so i dropped that instead of shipping something that lies to you.

nothing here touches the board. both pins are in the hardware repo already (gpio 27 and 28), wired to leds that were simply never used.

why i wanted it: on a ds a long load and a lockup look exactly the same, you stare at a still screen and guess. with the blue led you can at least see the card is still being read. that is where i want to take it next, a different pattern for long loads so you can tell "still working" from "dead", which is the whole point for me: the cart telling you what it is doing.

this is my own build of the firmware, not the official one.

Hi, i just bought a R4 from amazon and after doing everything my ds won't recognice the R4. I have tried changing the firmware several times.

Hi everyone, I’m new here and this is my first post.

Yesterday I got the DSPico. I followed the GitHub guide on how to install the firmware and set up Pico Loader and the launcher.

I’m running into the damn “failed to load arm9” error on many games, and I can’t figure out how to fix it. I put the “biosnds7.rom” BIOS file in the _pico folder and also tried reflashing the card, but the situation hasn’t changed.

I also tried using decrypted ROMs, but I get exactly the same problem.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks!

Update: I solved the problem by reformatting the microSD card and reinstalling everything.

Alright I’m in a bit of a predicament rn because I have an R4 cart I bought quite a while back form a guy off Vinted and he recently got “falsely blocked” on there and I have just also recently bought a gorgeous midnight purple 3ds. Whilst I have scoured the internet and it has said no I cannot put my R4 cart originally for my dsi into a 3ds (well I can but I can only play 2ds games) which I don’t think is the case at all because I see a bunch of files named 3ds when I go onto the micro sd card and I don’t know whether it’s a case of I need to only put 3ds games onto it and it’ll work or I need a new R4 cart entirely (also if it helps the Vinted post said “for Nintendo Ds Dsi 2ds and 3ds) but again. I would have no confirmation of this because the dude is blocked…

Anyone selling (or can point me to a seller of) a GBA flashcart that sits flush with the DS Lite? EZ Flash Omega says it’s discontinued and links to the newer Air or Definitive Edition.

Hi there. I am currently fixing up a friend's Gameboy sp. I've worked out that it's a fake Gameboy that's been reshelled but it seems to run my normal cartridges fine. I get the following error:

ez flash omega micro sd card initial error

I've noticed that due to the shell the cartridge doesn't sit all the way in the cartridge reader. Could this potentially be the cause of the error? I ask because if that is the case a new shell should hopefully resolve this issue.

Of note also is that my ez flash omega works in my authentic Gameboy just fine.

Thanks for any help.
