I have two old R4 carts. One could be fixed by simply changing my DS Lite's clock back a decade, the other is giving me a lot more trouble.
The cart is a Happybox (Seen below, not my picture but identical) and while the original cartrige it was in has some trouble being read by my DS, putting the SD card into the other R4 cart does work. However, it produces a black bottom screen and a white top screen with a red ERROR in a microsd card shaped box.
Here's where my internet searched failed me - the sd card itself appears to be corrupted as trying to view the files on my pc simply gives a read error and asks that the card be reformatted. Because it's been about a decade since I used the cart, I don't remember what games were on there and desperatly want them to be preserved (there were some great ones on there I remember and want to play again, I just don't remember the names).
I'm hoping there's a way I can recover the files. If not, I'd have to try and rebuild what I once lost... (I'll probably be asking for help on that if we establish saving my old games is a lost cause. In which case this will devolve into helping me figure out some old games lol))
