This also hapens with the old r4itt that is good.

Please take a picture of both R4iTTs and send it.

~~tbh none of the r4itts are actually that good~~

WIN_20210622_14_34_58_Pro tbh I never had problems with r4itt, this is the first one.

They're quite old and generally not well supported that's why.

I have no idea what that left cart is, is it also a R4iTT 3DS NEW?

For the right one, is it working normally? (as in not TWiLight, but maybe Unlaunch or the DSi Menu)

lifehackerhansol avatar Jun 23 '21 19:06 lifehackerhansol

the one of the left is a old r4itt imagen this one works. the other one doesn't Both cards can't run via twilight menu++

aerglass avatar Jun 23 '21 23:06 aerglass

If it doesn't work normally, then of course it won't work with TWiLight. That's a given. ("normally" as in, it doesn't work on a DS/DS Lite, or it doesn't launch from the regular Slot-1 launcher on a hacked DSi/3DS)

Back to your one that works normally, the older R4iTT. Please update TWiLight Menu++ to the latest nightly and try it, then report back.

lifehackerhansol avatar Jun 23 '21 23:06 lifehackerhansol

still the same (tried with both)

I kind of just remembered this issue.

Do you have access to GodMode9? I wonder what the header of this cart is, and whether legacy mode might solve the boot issue.

lifehackerhansol avatar Sep 27 '21 19:09 lifehackerhansol

Yes, i have acess to godmode9

aerglass avatar Sep 27 '21 22:09 aerglass

Insert cart, load GodMode9, go to GAMECART, and extract the .txt file that is in it. Please do for both carts. Upload them here, or some other place and link it here, please.

I thinked that the new one was useless, its now in trash (since it didn't work) i will upload the old one

aerglass avatar Sep 29 '21 02:09 aerglass

here is (the old one because the new one broke) STAR_WARS_LA_AWUP41_00.txt

aerglass avatar Sep 29 '21 17:09 aerglass

First, update TWiLight Menu++ to the latest version, if you haven't already. There was a new release last night. Let me know if that works.

lifehackerhansol avatar Sep 29 '21 17:09 lifehackerhansol

Still, didn't work

aerglass avatar Sep 29 '21 17:09 aerglass

slot1launch.zip

Download this, extract it, and replace it with the one inside the _nds/TWiLightMenu/ folder. See if it works again.

lifehackerhansol avatar Sep 29 '21 17:09 lifehackerhansol

no, didn't work

aerglass avatar Sep 29 '21 18:09 aerglass

Can you take a clearer picture of the cart you have (both front and back) and send it here? I think I actually have this cart myself, but I want to confirm before testing something else.

lifehackerhansol avatar Sep 29 '21 18:09 lifehackerhansol

DSC00287 this is how it registeres the home screen DSC00285 DSC00286

aerglass avatar Sep 29 '21 20:09 aerglass

I definitely own this cart. I'll test on my end and see.

lifehackerhansol avatar Oct 01 '21 15:10 lifehackerhansol

After some testing, this issue is only found on the 3DS family consoles. I am able to boot it fine on a DSi through slot1launch. Which is interesting because Unlaunch doesn't like the cart at all.

lifehackerhansol avatar Oct 01 '21 22:10 lifehackerhansol

Interesting...

aerglass avatar Oct 01 '21 22:10 aerglass

i have the same issue in a dsi ver 1.3u with this cart and yes unlaunch dont read the card correctly i have the latest twlmenu and latest unlaunch the cart is working but doesnt boot trought twlmenu IMG_20211002_144515 tested with this carts and same result black screen with 4 color squares

dennyferrer avatar Oct 04 '21 14:10 dennyferrer

@dennyferrer Your original R4 (left most one) not working is most likely a contact issue. I cannot reproduce the four squares on both my DSi nor 3DS. Perhaps blow into the slot and onto the R4 itself to check because that one boots from both TWiLight and Unlaunch for me (all three of mine do.)

The two on the right are both identical carts, and that's what we're trying to figure out here. Though TWiLight seems to launch it on a DSi, so not sure what is happening to you.

lifehackerhansol avatar Oct 04 '21 14:10 lifehackerhansol

ohh tanks the og r4 is working now i only clean the cart slot on the dsi but the r4itt gives me the same issue i think is a problem with the cart itself maybe a different revision of the cart i will try updating the firmware of the cart i hope that solve the problem

dennyferrer avatar Oct 04 '21 15:10 dennyferrer

I've tried updating the firmware on my own two R4iTTs and neither of them are working still, at least on my 3DS.

lifehackerhansol avatar Oct 04 '21 15:10 lifehackerhansol

i tried to update the cart firmware but its already updated so i make some research and i think its a comunication problem between the cart hardware and the ds because the og r4 i covered the contacts with a piece of paper and woala black screen with squares i remove the paper and its working fine tomorrow il test this with other dsi

dennyferrer avatar Oct 04 '21 18:10 dennyferrer

i have latest firmware of my r4itt.

aerglass avatar Oct 17 '21 01:10 aerglass

iirc, recent versions have fixed this issue.

@lifehackerhansol Can you confirm?

RocketRobz avatar May 27 '22 02:05 RocketRobz

iirc, recent versions have fixed this issue.

@lifehackerhansol Can you confirm?

This has not been fixed. Evie and I tried to fix it and nothing came out of it. Still whitescreens.

lifehackerhansol avatar May 27 '22 03:05 lifehackerhansol

it was fixed, idk when but my r4itt works now, my r4itt is like breaking (it sometimes does not work) but whatever

aerglass avatar Mar 18 '23 01:03 aerglass

this broke? i mean i found another r4itt, launched it via twl++ and this problem ocurred again, tried my older r4itt which i normally use and this problem ocurred again
