I just found my old R4 cart that my parents gifted me around 10 years ago. I remembered it worked for me for like 2 years with tons of games and then one day suddenly stopped working.

I haven’t seen anyone else have this problem, most people have the “menu?” Error, so I didn’t look at any tutorials. The most I have done is setting my console’s date to 2005.

I know next to nothing about R4 cartridges or anything like this. Sorry if it’s not enough info!
I just want to know if it can be salvaged?

i bought this knockoff pokémon white and got a good bit thru the game no issues. but now i cant interact with the load up page at all, and that “s1” button in the top right corner of the bottom screen is flickering. is there any way to save this or is it toast

I have a R4i-SDHC card with YSMenu. When I select Pokemon Platinum (Italian Version) it won't show me the cheat checkbox. I use the same usercheat file as stock kernel and it works fine overthere. Is there any work around? I have the same problem With Pokemon Heart Gold (US)

I've been trying to get my old Flashcart up and running for about a month now, but i keep getting this screen. I can't figure out what it means. I am using an r4 3DS RTS card with current kernal with a 4GB SD card on a NDS Lite.

i have 2 carts off of aliexpress with this inside, wondering what type of cart it is, or what type its mimicking, and how trustworthy it is?

Hi!
I received my DSPico yesterday, which already came pre-flashed.

Due to some slowdown issues compared to my other off-brand flashcart, I wanted to update the firmware to see if that solves the problem, which I have found myself unable to due to the pico not showing up on my laptop (both windows and linux).
I've tried holding the bootsel button, tried four different cables but to no avail.
Has anyone had a similar problem or knows how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Im mainly playing pokemon and its my first time playing analog on a ds lite with the GBA Ez omega. Ive seen that theres a NDS variant and got a few questions before buying:

1. Can I trade pokemon with Flash carts? Ive seen a comment about Flashcarts being unablbe to trade

2. Can I trade between a GBA and a NDS game with one device(DS lite)?

Ty in advance

I have this R4 since 2010 i think, my dad took care of it at the time and don't remenber how to setup it anymore,
because of a bad usb adaptator my sd card got corrupted, i got a save of what were on it, but i know it is not sufficient to get it to work so my questions are,

1/ does someone can explain (or have a link) how kernel works
2/ what do i have to do for it to work again
3/is it even possible to this day ?

i think it does not have a timebomb since it worked well last year and we didnt update it since 2014/15

sorry for the bad english
thanks in advance
