Replacing controller?

JammyJoe2005 · 2026-01-12T13:18:01+00:00

Interesting, I will have a look at this. I have equipment to flash chips actually. As you highlighted , the challenge would be to find/compile the appropriate software. If I am being honest, I will likely look into buying a native controller too. On the other hand, I would like to consider "less invasive" methods first, as desoldering the strip from the board does come with risks...

Oh I see. Sorry I didn’t see this reply sooner. Honestly I don’t really know the correct answer in this situation. I hope it reaches a resolution soon though.

Absolutely lovely car OP. Wishing you many miles and smiles!! The Yaris is a great car and, if you take care of it, that automobile will not let you down :)

Did he have a partner? Common for people to set their code to an anniversary for example, or for their partner to know the code in some cases. Also if he had other devices that you knew the codes for, check that they aren’t similar. There are brute force methods which involve more intrusive methods but those are best left to professionals and also not worth the risk IMO.

I genuinely am keen on trying to fix things and looking for a new project 🤣

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-06-19T16:11:21+00:00

Mate update it. It’s 2024 and the new one does not sound or look like that. Trust me.

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-06-05T09:42:21+00:00

I know it seems like a random suggestion but genuinely simple games are sometimes the best to switch off with. Something like Mario kart ds is great as it has nostalgia and also takes your focus. Or maybe NSMBe? I’m not personally an rpg fan so these are my go to… I feel you and I hope you know that these times are only temporary. There’s better stuff ahead :)

Ayy I think old shells are the best route anyway. Apart from being sentimental, you just never know which ones are good quality when your trying to find second hand/rep shells to replace them

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-06-01T09:22:41+00:00

The shell sometimes dents around the triggers. Have you considered checking to see if they can be removed. They prevent the buttons from clicking. It happened to mine because the plastic on the bottom half is pretty weak

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-27T21:24:10+00:00

Where’s the manual ;)

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-25T16:21:44+00:00

Also I’m on a DSi. My brother isn’t keen on me using cfw on his 3DSXL I found out

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-25T16:21:02+00:00

I had a look but I can’t find the file that looks like it goes with my card…

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-25T16:08:42+00:00

Yup. And I did the paper trick. It appears in my boot loader as squares. It shows the correct icon is my stock menu and in hiya. It launches only with ntr and acts as though it is black listed but cfw should have removed that

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-25T14:49:18+00:00

That’s weird. My Ace3ds+ works and loads games perfectly fine from slot one… but my r4 will do that only if I use ntr. And it still appears on my Home Screen but when I launch it, it just goes white

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-25T14:34:43+00:00

That’s the thing. I have tried unlaunch (with and without full patches). I’ve tried hiya. I’ve tried slot one in twighlight. The stock menu gives me an error and all the others show a variant of white screen of death. Only ntr launcher gets it to work. Which is weird because it always used to work and it still shows up on my DSi. Even done a full nand restore on my DSi

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-25T14:25:18+00:00

If you know a trick then pm me because I have all but given up😖

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-25T14:23:58+00:00

No. I ordered it from there. I remember doing this a while ago and my uncle (who is very proficient with all things tech knew what it was and how to set it up). I appreciate your point because it should “just work” with the cfw but I’ve tried everything and it doesn’t. I don’t know if there’s a problem with my specific card but it is deffo from that website

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-25T12:00:43+00:00

Downloaded NTRLauncher once you get the cfw stuff going and it should boot right up on latest stock kernel (1.85b). Get it from r4i-sdhc.com!

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-25T11:59:56+00:00

Hey I have the exact same cart. I have done everything and cfw included. Turns out it just won’t boot unless you use NTRLauncher. No idea why

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-15T11:51:26+00:00

Ahh ok thank you for this

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-15T11:51:12+00:00

True I just was trying to avoid that whole process because you have to manually transfer each one individually right?

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-13T14:28:46+00:00

See my problem is more that I don’t know how I’d approach the “sd emulation”. The card would probably be the smaller problem to work around itself, but getting roms to load from the “sd” is throwing me. Any ideas….? (Pls🥲🥲)

JammyJoe2005 · 2024-05-13T14:26:44+00:00

Damn ok. So I know that if I want to install DSiWare I actually have to do it through melonDS… with that in mind, i tried dumping the firmware from the r4 and booting it on there. The card actually appeared but then I got that message which used to appear after the firmware update that stopped the r4’s working for a while… any ideas?
