Hacking Fake R4i-SDHC V5.0 3DS

[mid-kid]

Hi, I've just bought a fake card for my 4.5 3DS.
It looks like this:

But, when I try to use a regular kernel from r4i-sdhc.com, it tells me it's fake:

I honestly couldn't care less about the fact that it's fake, it's the only card that at least loaded I've found in my street, and I want to be able to install the ROP.
Is there any way I can load the ROP without having to go find another? Maybe custom kernel, or converting the ROP to a R4.dat, or something like that.

find a older kernel/FW for the card

Here's a list of the kernels I've tried:

R4i-3DS V1.35b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.36b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.43b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.45b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.46b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.51b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.52b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.56b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.61b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.62b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.64b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.66b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.67b English.zip
R4i-3DS V1.68b English.zip

It's all I could get on the wayback machine, and V1.68b is the latest version before my card "stopped production" or something like that.

What about retrogamesfans card files. Worked for me when the crappy site for my card went offline https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/

None of the versions of said kernel include the "R4.dat" required by my card.

I could be wrong but if you just want it for basic loading i think you can rename ttmenu.dat to r4.dat so your card can see it.

Does not work either, also renamed the TTMenu folder to R4iMenu, and copied the DAT update, no luck.
Just a picture of a SD card with a question mark.

All R4i or R4 cards are fake now.

Don't care, just werk.

Did you try without changing ttmenu folder name?

try setting your date back to 2009 or something...not sure if it will work, but just read something along those lines on this site

Nope, still the same "Fake kard!!!oneone Go kcik teh retailer in ze nutz" message
The other info on that site is pretty useless for my problem.

A link for a wood kernel that works on this card is appreciated.
Standard wood does not work on clones.
