hi all, my daughters have a 3ds each but only one will play the r4 games. the other one did initially but it wont now, any ideas why and how I could possibly fix this please
Check the version of the system software under settings - it may be that one of the 3DSes has been updated and said update rendered the R4 firmware unable to work on said 3DS. To fix this, you'll need to download an update for the r4 and use the working 3DS to install it. Then it should work again on the non-working 3DS.
Thanks for the reply, you are correct there was an upgrade done, I have installed new software on the r4 it worked on the other 3ds but still not on the upgraded one.
Do note that at current there's already v.6.3.0-12 update for 3DS console. Your daughter might have updated to that, so you need to see if your cart's latest firmware release is meant for v.6.2.0 or v.6.3.0. Do check the below quoted info, so far only 2 carts are known to run on the latest firmware. Both cart should be able to still run on one of the console, which hasn't been accidentally upgraded, right?
