Hacking Is this R4 dead?

I recently received a DSi XL with an R4 Gold (probably clone) in the mail. When I inserted the R4 into the DS, it just shows a blank cart.

Do you have the right firmware files on the cart?

Not a real R4 Gold actually, a very bad clone...

Does the microSD has proper firmware files for it to be recognized as a cart?

The website doesn't exists anymore so I placed some R4 Wood files instead. I don't know where to find the correct files.

Edit: I used a SDHC sd card. I am unable to find a non-SDHC card anymore.

try this one maybe

It didn't work. Must be my sd card, maybe it needs an old sd card since it doesn't say sdhc.

Also, the archive that is linked in that video is full of worms and viruses. Beware.

I would definitely use a non-SDHC card to figure it out. I would also try out Retrogamefan's work, as he has a lot of loaders for clones and such. (I would start with the TTDS, and go from there) Man, I am jealous... I know what firmware all of my carts take. This seems like a fun problem to nail down. (I am weird, I know)

Exactly. Here is an obscure PoS Chinese knock-off cart of some kind. Make it work. Ugh, I wanna.
