R4i SDHC 3DS RTS Introduction
On that Red card (formatted and I used the Diskimage software to successfully write the micro SD Card (it is a 2Gb SANDISK) nothing happens if I enter the RED card in the 3DS. To exclude possible issues with the 3DS file I just downloaded the sample 3DS file and again format the SD Card, wrote the 3DS Demo file and inserted in the 3DS.
R4i SDHC 3ds RTS in our store supports DS gaming on console system up to V11.12.0-44 since Nov 5th, 2019, but not for 3DS games. if you want to run 3ds cia games, you need to follow unofficial guide to flash ntrboot with r4i sdhc 3ds rts, but we recommend to buy a r4 b9s card to do such luma 3ds CFW installation.
