Files Needed for DS R4 Flashcart: Kernel, ROMs, Saves, Cheats

Depends on your specific R4 model (clones vary wildly) and goal:

Universal Basics

• Kernel / Firmware: YSMenu (retrogamefan), Wood R4, or clone-specific kernel. Unzip to SD root.
• ROMs: .nds files (legal backups only). Place in /games/ or root.
• Save Files: .sav (auto-created) or .dsv (DeSmuME) – convert with Shunyweb Converter.
• Cheats (Optional): usrcheat.dat in /_r4/ or /system/.

Identify Your Cart

• Label text: R4i Gold 3DS, R4i SDHC, R4 3DS RTS, R4i-B9S, etc.
• Visit r4ds.co.uk or flashcart-db.com → match label → download correct kernel.

3DS/DSi Note

Requires ntrboot or custom firmware (Luma3DS) on console to launch flashcart.
