People selling weird gray-market electronics with deceptive marketing? Why I never :v:

I think someone other than Gateway actually did have a 3DS flash card out, but now that the 3DS (alone) supports downloading retail games, even (begrudgingly) from Disney, arguing the ethical side of a dual-use thing like a flash card - at least in the context of a 3DS - is really really difficult.
The other is sky3ds and various clones. Its compatible with newest firmware versions and should continue to be unless Nintendo specifically blocks whatever hardware hack they are using.

Hey. I haven't had a DS flash cart since my ol' Lite (a DSTT). I decided to check what works these days on DSi and 3DS and, with the DSTWO not being produced or sold anymore, the R4i Gold is supposed to be the gold standard now? Ordered one from realhotstuff and it arrived today, but I have no idea how to install the files it needs.

The cart points to a https://www.r4ids.cn site that works but whose download links are mostly broken. I seem to have found a mirror for firmware "4.0b2" so I got that along with a "Wood R4 Kernel" that I also seem to need. Put everything into the SD card's root, formatted FAT32 as per instructions, but I just get a black screen. Does anyone have this card and can compare if the file structure is supposed to look like this?



the _DS_MENU.DAT and __rpg folder are from the Wood Kernel zip. The Launcher.dat is from the firmware thingy. Is there anything missing or in the wrong place?

I'm trying to dive into the world of 3ds homebrew and I was just wondering if I install Palantine CFW will I still be able to access the eshop / play online? I know what I can do with Palantine but I don't know what I can't do with Palantine. Anyone have a decent wiki for reading? I've been digging around GBA Temp but everything is super scattered over there.
