hi

Sorry im trying to be careful of use of words and terms not to make it to obvious lol
http://www.r4ids.cn/r4ids-e.htm

ok, i have followed the first set of instructions ending in using the script to clean the SD card.. that all went ok!

Now im on the part below it to use woods r4 kernel, i have that and on the SD card for the flashcart, it asks when booted to go into the 3ds setup which i have done but i cant find the firmware 4.02b anywhere so i cant load the launcher.dat file its asking for which leads me to asking for it now..

Unless there is another way or method to load the games i need that file (i cant currently see them on the SD card), but no matter how much i search i cant find it because it goes back to 2014... like i said there may be a whole new method to load 3ds games...

.cia files have to be installed to your 3DS SD card using FBI, and FBI cannot be used until you install CFW. You can install CFW by using the instructions at http://3ds.guide.

While there are flashcarts that work for 3DS games, they are uncommon, expensive, poorly-supported, and offer no real advantage compared to installing CFW.

Hi, i think i misunderstood how the flashcart worked. i assumed it used the standard fucntion like i did with the old ds games and boot directly like that.

I have used ntrboot from my flashcart, gone through the whole process of that with no errors (via the r4ids website guide) so all boot9strap, luma, homebrew is done etc.. and i thought you could boot the games directly from the flashcard SD, so now i know that i dont do that i need to expand the 2DS memory card and figure out how i install the games to the device via FBI, the only other thing i didnt do is give the 2ds online access so it wont do luna updater at the min

I do appreciate the advice and i understand it a lot better now
