Hi everyone. Forgive me if this problem has been discussed but I couldn't find anything online even with extensive research.

I have an R4i Limited SDHC Christmas Edition (I attach photos) and I managed to make it work with the R4iEnglishV1.17B firmware downloaded from the website via waybackmachine set to 2013.

Through this firmware I was unable to launch recent games such as Pokemon Black.

Consequently I added a TTMenu that I found online (TTMenu 6.81 by acquetto). The latter manages to launch games like Pokemon Black but up to the main menu. As soon as the game is started it freezes with a black screen.

Could any of you help me install a more updated kernel for this R4 or a TWiLight Menu++? I attach photos of the R4 card, the TTmenu, the Root of the SD card.

    If you get a chance to get a Pi5, get it, its like 3 times as fast as the Pi4 for Emu. GameCube and Wii games even play well.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure if it would behoove me, mines that B model with 8GBs of RAM got mine OCed to 2GHz and the only two games I found that might work better N64 Killer Instinct and PSP Motor Storm Arctic Thunder
