Hi all! The title is pretty self-explanatory: I'm super lost. I got a flashcart today (R4 SDHC GOLD Pro 2021) and I have no idea to get it working, and I don't know if I even can get it to work?

I've tried several kernels recommended by several online guides, I've tried organizing my roms different ways, etc. but all I get is the white screen with the "? MENU" on the top screen. Every time. Could it be because my microSD is a 128gb intended for the Nintendo Switch? or do I just have a faulty flashcart?

For reference, I have 53 games (a little over 2gb) that I want to play, but none of those x-in-1 carts have any of the games I want, so I have to go the route of flashcarting. Help!

As has already been suggested, it supports at most a 32gb SD card: in the site where you bought it surely specifies this. YSMenu will work on that card, but you have to use the appropriate version. For your convenience I post it here: copy the files/folders to the root of the micro SD.

Just for reference I have a Supercard DS2 and a Supercard DS1i, and on 1 sdhc (32 Gb near full) I put the files for both the carts, it can/does work in both just fine, no problems, It can be switched from one to another with no stumbles. RE: 2 file sets on 1 cart. but I'm petty sure the 2 carts use similar file details.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
