How to use old R4 Cards for DS on 3ds systems (2024)

Ok, so first of all hello guys. I just signed up to ask a question about my N3DS running CFW on 11.6 with the latest Luma3DS version. I do own 3 Flashcards (R4i Gold 3DS, M3 DS Real clone and a R4 Upgrade Revolution for DS). The R4i Gold works flawlessly(used it to flash CFW). However the other two Cards dont work since they are old DS Cards.
So my question is: Is there a way to make these other 2 cards work? (Idk if the R4 card is a clone aswell, since theres no link written on it. On the M3 card it says: M3adaptes which is a clone)
I did read something about a launcher before from Apache Thunder and the NTR Launcher but i cant get it to work. It gets stuck at loading screen

Thx in advance

try some trial and error and download and try heaps of these kernels

On the installation of the NTR Launcher i didnt do anything wrong? So it is just a wrong kernel?

Âs always, please share some images of your flascards, so we have a better idea on what kernel might work with them.

I've got a

flashcard, it didn't worked with any of the kernels from the page provided by Hunter.

But got it working by using Wood 3.9X (if I recall correctly).

So i just tried the M3adaptes kernel on the M3 card but it gets still stuck. Is there any possible problem with the micro sd card?
Its normally functioning properly. Its a 4GB Intenso Class 4 micro sd card

I just ordered a 2gb micro sd card. I hope it works

So, the 2gb card arrived and i got partly good news. I managed to make the M3 card work. However my 3ds doesnt recognize the R4 card

I think you need to test the cards with a regular DS, just to make sure it's nothing to do with the firmware or what's on the SD card etc. After that, it should work with NTR launcher

I think the R4 doesnt work anymore. I tried to put both M3 and R4 cards without micro sd card into my 3ds. The M3 showed up as a blank cardridge while the R4 didnt show up at all. Guess for the R4 its time for the trashcan.
