DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION IN THIS THREAD TO JUST UPGRADE TO LATEST FIRMWARE. THAT IS LITERALLY HOW TO STOP AN OLD R4i FROM WORKING WITHOUT FURTHER WORK.

If you are in the same shoes, just drop an nds rom onto an SD card with Wood 1.6.4 and you're good to go. Again, DO NOT UPDATE FIRMWARE FOR THIS.

3DS Version: 2.1.0-4E

Not sure what firmware to download because they all have "rts" or "plus" or "Gold," whereas I'm quite sure the cart I have is none of those.

If anyone can point me to the right direction of a guide that applies to what appears to be the original 3DS and R4i3DS, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks!

    I'm so pumped, NCAA football video game is back after a 10 year hiatus, coming to SeriesS/X, PS5 in July.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
