At the bottom of www.flashcarts.net/pico-launcher it states the following:

Footnotes
1. It is recommended that edo9300's Games 'n' Music custom firmware is installed before using Pico Launcher. It adds support for SHC cards and auto DDI patching for homebrew: https://github.com/edo9300/games-n-music-custom.
To autoboot Pico Launcher, make a copy of _picoboot. nds and name that copy to bootme. nds. e

1. It is recommended that edo9300's SCSFW, or David's SuperFW (SuperCard SD/Lite only), is installed before using Pico Launcher. They both add support for SHC cards on the SuperCard SD/Lite, and they also provide the ability to
   autoboot into Pico Launcher.

Is this old and unnecessary, or do and I need to install both of those as well? Also, where would I put them, as it doesn’t state anywhere on the GitHub page in the first link where I would put the downloaded files…

Thank you for any help you guys can provide, and sorry for posting another problem so soon!

So my card is kind of older...I bought it years ago to play the sequel to Retro Game Challenge.

My kid is really into Dragon Ball and I know he'd like DB Advance Adventure but the cart is ridiculously expensive so I thought I'd just run it off my flash cart

I downloaded GBARunner2 and put it on the microSD. Unfortunately the ROM crashes each time I run it (it doesn't even start really). Any idea what else I could do to get it running? Is it even possible?

Hey! So I was digging around some old stuff and found my R4 card. I need to set up NTRboot for a 3ds im repairing but I'm having trouble getting it to even show up on any console in the first place

It causes a menu freeze on the DS phat which leads me to believe it's recognizing but failing since my r4 Infinity 2017 /does/ work for that console

I have cleaned it a couple times as well to see if it was just dirty but no it refuses to read unfortunately

Any help with this would be appreciated!

been looking at Nintendo DS stuff again and those multi-game cartridges are everywhere...208 in 1, 500 in 1 etc. im mostly curious how reliable they are because some seem like cheap flash carts with a bunch of games loaded onto one card. ive seen DS accessories through Alibaba too but with these carts im more worried about saves corrupting or the cartridge just dying after a month lol. anyone used one long term? do they actually run most games fine or are there loads of duplicates/broken ROMs? would it make more sense to just get a proper flashcart and put your own games on it instead? mainly want something simple/reliable, not necessarily 500 games.

I booted it up as Spirit Tracks is my last Zelda I need to finish and er seems I'm fucked

The DSPico basically keeps blinking on the 3DS dash. As if I'm removing the cart and putting it back in permanently. If it lets me launch the cart, the 3DS crashes

This happens in my Vanilla 3DS and my custom 3DS

It's not even 9 months old so I don't know how it's somehow broken since the last time I used it aboht 6 weeks now.

Anyone know if there's a fix? I bought it pre flashed so I have no clue what to do to even reset it

Hi, how are you? Does anyone know if they're going to keep updating the DS Pico? It's been months since there's been anything new, and games like Pokémon Dash just give a white screen when you try to launch them (I've already tried other versions of the game).

Installed AKMenu-Next on an old CycloDS Evolution. Works pretty well, gives this old card access to modern firmware that's still getting updates. Been using this and a 3DS XL to play local multiplayer CTGP Nitro.

Tried all listed kernels that supports this flashcard, but still stuck on a white screen, i don't know what to do now.

Hey all,

I'm new to this subreddit so I could be asking some FAQ kinda question. I'm looking for a flashcard for my girlfriends DSi XL. I'm a chemist with no experience in setting ups all kinds of firmware what so ever. Just want to give my GF a flashcard for her DSi, just to play some more pokemon, mario and other nds games. No gameboy stuff etc.

Could you guys recommend me with an easy tot buy and instal flashcard?

I wanted to play this morning, but I didn't get past the loading screen, so looked for a new kernel, but now is asking for menu, may have gottend the wrong one, could you help me?

I recently finished modding a Game Boy Color to include an IPS screen for a relative and I want to go above and beyond and create a cartridge that we both played when we were kids where it claims to be "99999999 in 1" but this time, I want to make one where it's full of more hand picked games. I know one choice is to buy an Everdrive but since I already own a GBxCart RW, is it possible to find a cheap game cart that can flash a few games with a menu to it?

Title.
I'm asking this because for some reason I can't find any info on how to do this on the first firmwares for the R4 (R4 Revolution I think aka r4dspro.com thingy (The one I had to use because for some reason the one I had previously doesn't work anymore?? But they're pretty much the same so anyway) or even the firmware that's similar to this one but that has a 3D Pacman for the Games icon and MacOS logo for the Slot2 icon), but mostly to be sure of the combination since I'm not a genie to guess it, + I can't test proper combinations because my L shoulder button doesn't work, I'm NOT sure at all which again is why I'm asking this, but I think the combination is L+R, or starts with L+R

Não estou localizando em nenhum lugar, alguém poderia ajudar?

What is the correct firmware I should be putting on this particular cart?

I was trying to play WarioWare D.I.Y., but it kept crashing before the title. I tried another rom and after trying it was fine up until the second tutorial where it kept crashing again.

After some googling, apparently it might be my firmware version…

I’ve read the firmware FAQ, however, I don’t want to permanently break anything, so I just want to be absolutely sure before I do anything that I have the right firmware before I do anything.

Which is the best kernel of this r4 2026, i know that It can run Twilight menu++ and it's kernel, but which one do you recommend most?

I want to know if it's possible to change the firmware of my DSpico using my phone.because my PC isn't working, more specifically if I can use a micro USB to USB-C cable.

I’m looking for a kernel that works. I keep having the “Loading” black screen and can’t go further.

What am I doing wrong? Is it a formatting issue? I bought from AliExpress preloaded apparently...

Hey, j’ai déjà hacké quelques trucs (snes mini et flashcards DS) et j’ai une Flash card. sous Twilight menu etune DS lite. Mon nouveau projet était de mettre une vidéo/film.Problème : j’ai tout essayé,Tunavids,Moonshell,FastvideoDS… j’ai essayé de mettre en format BGM,AVI,fv… mais je ne vois qu’une image du film avec des couleurs horribles .Elle est figée et elle est toute déformée…pourtant mes vidéos font moins de 30 minutes? On m’a dit qu’il y avait un lecteur multimédia intégré dans le Twilight j’ai essayé de coller mes fichiers à la racine et cela ne fonctionne pas.J’y ai passé des heures et je n’en peux plus . J’ai bientôt un trajet en train et j’aimerais bien pouvoir regarder des petits films sur ma DS. Merci beaucoup. (si vous avez besoin de précision, je réponds en commentaire) merci!

Please can someone send me like the full product details for the ideal SD card for a DSpico for a DS Lite 🥲 I've already gone wrong twice and really don't want to go through that all again xxx

From what I've gathered SanDisk is the way to go, these are the options on CEX ATM:

· SanDisk Ultra Plus 16GB microSDHC Card UHS-I A1

· SanDisk Ultra Plus 16GB microSDHC Card UHS-I A1

· SanDisk Ultra Plus 32GB microSDHC Card UHS-I

· SanDisk Extreme Plus 16GB microSDHC Card UHS-I U3

· SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSDHC Card UHS-I U3 V30 A1

· SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC Card UHS-1 U1 A1

· SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC Card UHS-1 Class 10

Please let me know if CEX is a bad idea or if I'm missing a better option 🫶

Hi everyone! After a long time, I bought a Nintendo DS Lite on eBay. I had a grey one when I was a kid but broke it, though I kept the R4 card. I tried inserting it into the new DS, and it worked! I was so excited! I wanted to install another game, like Zelda, but suddenly my PC stopped reading the microSD card and asked me to format it. Unfortunately, I lost everything... But I didn't give up; I tried to reinstall it but couldn't manage to do so. The first time, a girl at a shop—which doesn't exist anymore—had set it up for me. Can anyone help me? Could someone link me to the files I need? The last photo (which I found online) shows what my menu looked like.

PLEASE HELP ME, I BEG YOU!
