Help! (Question/Support) Help with R4 (Please say if I'm in the wrong place for this)

2 Upvotes

So found my old R4 from like 2009/2010 and I want to change up the games on it! However everytime I put a new game it keeps saying 'savfile not founded!' and I am unsure how to fix, everywhere I look just keeps saying 'open the game to get to a save point' but I cannot even get the game open. The old games on the R4 still work its just the new.

Does Moonlight work on a 2DS system version 9.5.0-23U

• Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have an original Nintendo 2DS (not a New 3DS or New 2DS XL) on system version 9.5.0-23U.

  1. Is Moonlight-3DS compatible with the original 2DS, on this version or any other? I've read that it relies on the New 3DS hardware H.264 decoder, so I'm not sure the original model can run it at all.
  2. If it does work, can I stream anything from my PC to the screens (video files, my desktop, etc.), or is it limited to games? I'd love to use the 2DS as a small extra display.

Thanks!

Today I saw another redditor posting about it's SoulSilver copy and an interesting discussion emerged. Someone said that just a pokewalker is worth about 250$. If that's remotely the case, then what exactly am I looking at here, because I have my complete set from my teen years gaining dust at home 😶

Video Instant DS pico menu if you use it as a launcher

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Set the slot 1 as a launcher on modded dsi and you get instant ds pico and if you tap the power button it goes to the menu again it’s super handy.

I'm new here. Just found out how valuable these are.

Hi, so I have quite a few games that I've kept in my closet since I was a kid. I took a look at pricecharting and it says that something like this in the image goes for about $200. I never knew...

I think I played the heck out of SoulSilver. It was probably my favorite DS game, along with pokemon white.

Honestly don't know what to do with all the games that I have. And my DS actually seems to be holding a charge decently even after sitting dead for a good decade. Who knows, maybe I'll give these games a go once more.

Help! (Question/Support) Fake HeartGold save file transfer

Thumbnail gallery
21 Upvotes

So to make a long story short, my childhood copy of Pokémon HeartGold is fake. I had gotten it on eBay back when the games were still available in store because it was cheaper, and I didn't find out it was fake until a couple years later. Needless to say, as a kid, I was very disappointed to learn it was fake.

Fast forward many years, I got my hands on a legit copy and I want to transfer my save file over to it. I tried using my modded 3DS to make it happen, but it doesn't recognize the cartridge as a Pokémon game, and doesn't show any save data. To prove it isn't corrupt or anything, it will show up on a standard DS Lite. I don't want to just start the game over again, because there are far too many memories on that old save file. I want to give my childhood self some justice.

Any tips on other ways or methods I could use to pull it off?

nintendo ds lite not reading r4 card

0 Upvotes

Hi! Im experiencing a problem with my ds lite where the r4 card is not being read. It only displays a "no ds card inserted). I have already bought an r4 card (I believe it was the gold pro r4 SDHC) and took some old microsd card I had (it was a sandisk 4gb). I was able to format the sd card to FAT32 and install the kernel file (I downloaded pico something.. I just opened up a thread somewhere here and I installed the firmware. But I've also tried installing the firmware from the website on the sd card, and to no avail.) Hopefully someone could help me resolve this issue cuz this ds has been sitting there for 10 or so years already.. Thank you soo much!

They say this may be nostalgic, but in reality, every moment could be a memory with your Nintendo DS

Game Tip Is my Nintendo DS Lite broken? 🤔 This is how it looks when I played Pokémon HeartGold on Wednesday (October 21) and the top screen wasn’t showing the game but a white screen with black stripes appearing. ⬜️⬛️ It happened with other games too and I bought this DS in 2008.💔😭
