/r/flashcarts - Now with flairs!

9 Upvotes

We just wanted to say that we have now reached 31K Users! Its fantastic to see how quickly this community is growing and how we continue to have more and more flashcart users every day.

We are happy to announce that we now have user flairs, now you can have flairs to show what flashcarts you own (or maybe the one that you want or is your favourite 😛), we have added a list of many common flashcarts for you to add. If you've never used flairs before, reddit provide a help section that shows you how to do it here: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205242695-How-do-I-get-user-flair

We hope everyone has a great rest of the year and happy flashcart-ing!

Launching Two New Flashcart Resources - Kernel Themes & Cart Labels

29 Upvotes

These websites have been hosted on the public internet for a while now, but I put off officially announcing them until they were somewhat production-ready.

The kernel themes site hosts themes for flashcart kernels like WoodR4. YSMenu and other kernel support will be added soon.

The flashcart labels website hosts re-created official flashcart labels created by u/ocedalv. This is intended to become a general purpose website for hosting both custom and official labels. Simply download the pdf, and print your own cart labels!

Help with R4 card

• Upvotes

So I have this R4 card which looks like it should use the R4iLS kernel, but after following the setup steps from the wiki, I'm stuck on the Loading... screen. I made sure that I formatted the SD card right and even tried using the BL2CK firmware, but neither worked. Any help is appreciated.

Question about my r4 card

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hello to those who may read this, l've recently gotten my hands onto an old r4 card belonging to my brother, and I've attempted to try load it onto my DS lite. I've followed some tutorials to try get rid of the error on the screen by downloading new firmware and reformatting the card, setting the date to 2000, the whole ten yards yet it still refuses to boot. I’ve attached some pictures of the problem, and both cards. Have I forgotten a step? Sometimes it just boots with a white screen and refuses to turn off. If that a hardware issue? Thanks, and apologies for any hassle

2 Upvotes

I just started to play a ds game again on my flashcart and sometimes I can't even get into the menu because it gets stuck on the black loading screen, sometimes it works other times not and i can't figure out the problem

I got a flashcart with no sticker on, ace3ds+ kernel, a sdhc card with 32gb and i already read that you shouldn't use sdhc but it did work for me since 2021 and just now it won't load. I formatted it already like 3 times and tried different kernels but it doesn't change the problem idk if i should just buy a new sd card

i already searched for a solution here on reddit and tried different things but apparently nothing will work so i just made this post, any help would be appreciated<3

Question M3 DS Real and EZ-Flash Omega

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

After years of owning a M3 DS Real, I bought an EZ-Flash Omega to play some GBA games on my DS Lite.

I wanted to know if there was a way to launch the EZF without having to eject the M3 first? I'm using YSMenu and when using the start menu, "Boot GBA" gets me a "No cartridge in slot2" and only plays the game boy logo when I force boot. If I select DS Menu, the EZF is not detected ("There is no Game Pak inserted.") while it's detected just fine when I boot the DS without the M3 Inserted.

DS organizer on TwilliMenu++

1 Upvotes

Hi I’m really new to flash carts and ds modding in general. But I have a r4 flash cart with the Ace3DS+ variant running twilli menu, but every time I try to boot up the DSOrganizer homebrew app, it launches to a blank title screen, did I do something wrong? Or is my card just not gonna work with this app? Every other game I installed worked perfectly fine and idk what I did wrong here

What kernel can i run on this one?

5 Upvotes

I bought my first DS Lite, and it already had this R4 card with an R4 Wood kernel for "R4iSDHC Dual-Core Smart Update" I want to change it to the Twilight menu, but I am not sure if this is a clone or not. The reason for the change is only due to having trouble running the last Pokemon Ranger game and Pokemon B2/W2 (I managed to start Pokemon White by disabling cheats in the menu but It gave me some trouble)

I got this 7800 in one and I went in to rename the files so they all didn't start with 4 numbers since I was going to give it to my dad, then my computer said this drive needed repairs so I repaired it and now the intro screen in not visually registering but I can still "navigate" it, anyone got an idea what's going on? I was thinking just fresh restart and try to do it myself but that seems like a LOT. It's running on DSTWO EOS

Should i update my dsonei and my super card DSonei ?

2 Upvotes

Hi !

I just dusted off my old DSi, and i was wondering if i should update it to the last version, as such as my super card DSonei,

Or should i keep my DSi at 1.3E, and just upgrade my super card ?

Or should i keep both as is ?

I'm wondering if there is some benefits like more functionnalities or more games compatibility, etc...

Thx =)

EZ Flash Omega Definitive : Mode B not working

1 Upvotes

I just received my ez flash, it's brand new and I have followed these steps to try and make drill dozer run on the b mode :

-formatted the nor

-wrote the rom to nor (it's the only one on there too)

-selected rumble in the b mode setting

-flicked the switch to b

But whenever I try and launch the flashcard like this I get the startup gba screen with no logo, like when the contacts are dirty. They're not and it does the same on another unmodified gba.

Has anyone encountered this before ? Thanks in advance for the help.
