## Overview

The R4 2025 R4xMP SDHC Dual Core Update Adapter is a cutting-edge flashcart compatible with all Nintendo DS models, including 3DS and New 3DS XL. Featuring a dual-core R4xMP kernel variant, it offers no timebomb restrictions, ensuring uninterrupted use through 2025. While it requires manual kernel installation and does not include a microSD card, it comes with a USB adapter for easy file transfers, making it the go-to choice for millennial gamers seeking reliable, versatile, and future-proof Nintendo DS flash storage.

## Description

NOTE: This does NOT come with a micro SD card. The kernel will need to be manually installed. The U.S. hosted kernel link will be located on the packaging, please follow the instructions in order to successfully load the kernel onto your own micro SD. This is the latest version (2025). Runs the R4xMP kernel, an Ace3DS+ variant. Compatible with the Original Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi, 2DS, and 3DS. If there are any questions about this cart, please ask! I'll be happy to help.

Review: Loving it! Great value for what you pay - After my partner and I each using it for a couple months, I can confidently say it works as intended, especially if you just stick to the reccomended kernels. I also love the USB adapter it came with, makes transferring files between SD cards so much easier than using an SD card adapter. The only other thing I have to suggest has nothing to do with the product itself, definitely user error. But someone else recommended using Twilightmenu+ in the reviews here, but I wouldn't suggest using it, personally. I tried it, cuz Ive used it with my modded DSi and 3DS before and it worked great, and I *sort of* got it working on the flashcart for awhile? But kept running into more and more issues and its just not worth it imo. Its great for a modded DSi/3DS, but for an R4 just use the Wood kernel. As soon as I switched over, all the issues I was having while using Twilightmenu+ stopped. Maybe it was just me? But no matter what I tried, nothing made it work right, and my partner's flashcart was having the same issues. But the instant I switched kernels, everything started working flawlessly. So, maybe its just user error and youd be able to make it work, but in my experience, just using the recommended Wood kernel was way less of a headache.
Review: Great product! Works wonderfully - Great! Fast shipping. Easy to follow set up guide on website. I already had mom's on my laptop for modding a NDS . Needed this R4 card for NDSi . So set up took me underb10 mind and my games were ready to play! Thank you. Great product. 100% recommend

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works for old DS Lite
*by J***E on December 31, 2024*

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.
