A few months back I bought an R4i Gold 3DS Plus and a Sky3DS+ but I can get none of them to work and I feel like I'm missing some important step to get them to work on my recently purchased 3DS XL.
I used a tool that came with one of those to make a backup .3DS file with two of the carts I own. Thinking that maybe those were goofy, I grabbed .3DS files from a site for those games and I have the same issue, but I think both of those flashcards should give me a menu anyhow...?
I've given up on the Sky3DS+ entirely, big waste of money, it just doesn't work with a validated Sandisk MicroSD card. Formatted it five ways from sunday following guides, tried three different MicroSD cards, other manufacturers, no matter what this thing just doesn't want to work so I gave up...
But the R4i Gold 3DS Plus, is it plug and play or do I have to do that switch change, wood firmware business? I just want to use my 3DS games on the go without bringing the carts with me. No Nintendo DS games.
I tried the tutorial on their site and it just doesn't work for me.
I tried this step with the magnet:
8.Hold (Power) + (Start) + (Select) + (X) for several seconds, then release the buttons
But I just get the blue LED and then it goes out.
