Hello, I’m in the process of making this small site that will quickly tell you which kernels to download. Unfortunately life is getting in the way but I’d figure I’d show off what I have, in case it’s useful to anyone else as it covers some of the current easily-obtainable clones.

I’m open to suggestions on more carts to add, or contributions in the forms of pictures or software. My goal is to make this a sort of visual guide, where users match their flashcarts to the pics on the site to find the kernel they need. I’m also looking for a way to store and add pictures without screwing up the site. I was thinking of hosting super-compressed 256x256 images of front+back of all the flashcarts, but idk I have no experience in web design. Let me know what you think.

    Which names do the Ace3DS+ clones go by?

    You can see a list of them on the flashcard-archive github: https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/flashcard-archive - Though most common ones that you will see floating about right now will be r4isdhc.com.cn, r4isdhc.hk 2020+, X in 1 Carts (unlabelled red carts too, though that’s somewhat vague as there are unlabelled timebomb carts too), Ace3ds+ and Ace3ds X carts.

    So the R4 Gold carts that can brick if you try to use YSMenu on the 2013 or older variants?

    Yeah older r4isdhc.com carts (2013/no year number dual cores/“NEW” carts) like to brick when used with YSMenu. Instead, it’s best to mention that 2014+ r4isdhc.com carts will use YSMenu.

    But both the Gold and Silver (.com.cn) expire on 9/3/2024?

    r4isdhc.com.cn carts are ace3ds+ clones, they don’t have a timebomb and can’t use YSMenu.

    r4isdhc.com 2014+ and r4i-sdhc.com carts have a timebomb in their stock kernel which expires on 9/3/2024, though we now have a non-timebomb version - there are some issues with the stock kernel as mentioned in this post. Ideally, YSMenu is more stable, but the non-timebomb kernel can be used if people want to use RTS.
