    Default My R4 card is not working

    My old DSL broke, so I got a new one.
    In the meantime I purchased a 2nd r4 card (R4i-Gold) to try and run my old DS games on my 3ds.
    I lost hope, since I could not make the new card work, so I bought a new DSL and tried running my old games on it.
    They do not work. On neither card.
    I tried formatting and downloading the R4 data again to my root folder, but nothing.
    The R4i-Gold (even when empty) shows as if I'm trying to load a game (Deep Labyrinth Digital Bros) but then the loading turns into an error.
    The old R4 card is not even being recognized by my consoles.
    Any help on solving the issues will be much appreciated.

    Try a different game, it may just be a bad rom

    I suggest you get a quality card, Like a Supercard or a Acekard2 i, preferably a Supercard.

    Those R4 clones are bottom of the barrel , aka Naff

    THE BEST METHOD to run PSX games (and everything else for that matter) is via Retroarch - http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/
    If you have any questions on how to set it up on Windows please feel free to ask, its very easy.

    Although I agree though the Acekard2i is not going to work in the 3DS the OP has unless it is on an older firmware

    I would rather see if it can be fixed first before advising on what new card to buy


    I forgot to ask
    What revision of R4i Gold do you have?
    What is the exact error message shown?
