Hi,

i have a problem with a r4ds pro from aliexpress.

i want to use bl2ck kernel. i downloaded it from Flashcard Archive.

but after booting i got a "LOADING" followed from a white screen on both screens.

I tried the following kernels and every works:

- The old R4DS Pro Kernel v1.50
- A bad (Frankenstein?) kernel with R4i3d.com branding
- TWiLight Menu ++ v27.0.0 with Autoboot


only the bl2ck kernel refuse to work.
i don't find the solution for this problem.

i think it can maybe have to do something with Flashcart Bootstrap, which the bl2ck version for r4ds pro seems to use, because i also can't boot DScraft, for example, with flashcart bootstrap but with one of the working kernels, the game starts.

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Hmm. That's weird that it's specifically BL2CK it won't boot and everything else is fine. I have it on mine (also bought on Ali) and it boots fine. You are using the r4dspro version of the firmware right? The only other thing I can think of is try formatting your SD card. Maybe there's some old files preventing you from booting.

Ok... Now i'm feeling really stupid... :blush:
Seems it was really the msd card... i take a fresh 128 gb cart, which is working without problems... :toot:

it's still strange, that the non-working card is working with all other kernels :unsure:

    I just recently picked up a n64 from a garage sell, and looking to mod it and add a HDMI port to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3548173115...044&customid=4f3038da73b61afddf7e5e90f4153856
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'd like to find a power strip and HDMI selector built in 1 unit, so I can select which game system I want, and will switch to that hdmi, and power on that plug/power supply only, so don't have all game systems powered all the time, but can't find anything like. May just have to make something myself.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Maybe start a kick starter page and sell them, yea right. Big N would prob C&D me, not anything Big N related, but just because that's what they do nowdays. Then come out with they own in a year or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nice. Which operating system are you installing?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, windows 10 and some linux distro like linux mint
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    dualbooth
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.

    @SylverReZ,
    I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

    @SylverReZ,
    I also recall my brother downloded a "non bloated" version of windows 11 on his pc

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
