Users manually install the R4xMP kernel via a U.S.-hosted link, making it a future-proof, lightweight, and versatile solution for serious Nintendo DS enthusiasts. ## 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: Great so far.... - So Far so good. I loaded Twilight on it, as suggested by others. Works well so far. I will put in my calendar to review in a year from now, just to see if the "no timebomb" is true. 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | HawkTec | | Colour | White | | Compatible Devices | Nintendo DS, DS Lite, 2DS, 3DS, 3DS XL, New 2DS, New 3DS | | Connector Type | RCA | | Finish Type | Matte | | Specific Uses For Product | Video Game Console | ## Product Details - **Compatible Devices:** Nintendo DS, DS Lite, 2DS, 3DS, 3DS XL, New 2DS, New 3DS - **Specific Uses For Product:** Video Game Console - **Connector Type:** RCA - **Colour:** White - **Brand:** HawkTec ## Images ![R4 2026 R4xMP SDHC Dual Core Update Adapter Memory Card for NDS DS DSI 2DS 3DS New 2DS New 3DS XL, No Timebomb - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-vREJnXOL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is a SanDisk 32gb microsd card compatible?** A: Yes, I believe 32gb is the max size for these and SanDisk is a good option ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great so far.... *by B***N on 5 November 2025* So Far so good.
