R4 2025 R4iNP SDHC Dual Core Update Adapter Memory Card for NDS DS DSI 2DS 3DS New 2DS New 3DS XL, No Timebomb

Got this for my girlfriend so she could have a nostalgia trip. I’m savvy with this stuff so I set it all up for her. Paired this with a 32 GB sandisk card since it doesn’t come with an SD card. Don’t get anything larger from what I understand.I suggest using Twilight Menu, it’s probably the best kernel to run on the R4 cards. MCD Network on YouTube has a super easy tutorial to follow for this specific make which makes this R4 card perfect and despite the sticker, this is compatible with NDS Lite meaning that it fits with no issues.By all tutorials I’ve seen on this Smart Update feature there’s no timebomb so functionality should be reliable for hours and hours of play time.No need to pay for NDS games used for a hundred+ and no need to chance the cheap remakes. Just get this card and learn how to set it up. Use Twilight Menu, takes the same effort as installing the base kernel.Based on the setup, you can run everything from NDS to SNES games. Once you paste the ROMs in their dedicated folder from your PC you’re good to go!I was able to download the R4 files for twilight menu from that YouTube video I mentioned above and had this card set up within 30 mins with all the Poke-ROMs that she wanted. It’s really that easy.

If you’re wondering what flashcart to get, what kernel it runs. Get this one. You won’t regret it and the kernel from the website is excellent. It can also run twilight menu++ this is one is way better than the gold cards.

I recently dusted off a relative's old DS Lite, and with this R4 card, I've been having a blast!Following another reviewer's ("Joe"s) suggestions and an instruction video from MDS network, I got a new SanDisk 32GB microSD formatted to FAT32 and installed Twilight Menu++ on that. I put the microSD into the open slot on the R4. Set-up was quick and easy, and the card is recognized by the DS Lite. I'm more than satisfied - especially for the price!Note: I did attempt to use the stock kernel from the website listed on the packaging, but its emulation for NES, GBA, and other retro roms was too janky. After replacing with Twilight Menu++, emulation was great except for SNES which is hit-or-miss. Every NDS rom I've tested in this set-up is also running splendidly!

Installation was simple… just follow the instructions on the website. Love the interface better than Twilight Menu. NDS roms work great but I was having issues getting Pokémon Emerald to work (no issues within Twilight Menu). I ended up having to replace the GBA runner file with an updated patch so that the game would work without having to use Twilight Menu.

Easy to use took less than 10 minutes to setup. Finally able to play kingdom hearts 😎

The media could not be loaded. The card works great. Shows Deep Labryinth as game. I'm running Twilight menu on DSlite
