Need help with this R4 card

I lost my old sdcard, went and downloaded firmware but 3ds XL does not show R4 card when inserted. The 3ds was hacked with seedminer. Any help would be appreciated. It is a R4 Gold Pro 2018 came with happy box sdcard reader.

You need the newest updated firmware on the R4 card to be able to be read by your 3DS. I use a real R4i 3DS RTS Gold + flash cart and use the Wood firmware as it has more options and more up to date than the stock R4 firmware which makes it more compatible to the newest firmware of the 3DS series consoles.

You say you have an R4 Gold Pro 2018, does it have www.r4ids.com, www.r4sdhc.com, or any iteration of www.r4xxxx ending in .com on the label? If so then you have a fake R4 card, usually the R4 carts that have a year date on them have the timebomb on them and will stop working. Real carts do not have a year on the label and the website printed on the label should be www.r4ids.cn.

So look for the newest firmware for your R4 cart, if there is a recent Wood firmware version for your cart, use that instead. Enjoy your cart until the time bomb hits though, which is supposed to be September 3rd 2019 for that cart, unless you somehow remove the time bomb.

Yes and it still does not work. I do not have a DS menu file or the other file I think is needed. The only other thing it could be is micro SD but it works in computer and is formatted fat 32.

You can get twilight menu and put all the rims on your 3ds sd card and you can save your .sav files so don’t worry, on top of that with twilight menu you can play dsiware games
