R4I SDHC Dual Core Gold Pro for DS/3DS

This flash card adapter lets owners of DS, DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL and 3DS consoles run Nintendo DS ROMs and homebrew from a microSD card. It is aimed at players who want a single cartridge for legacy software on original hardware. The gold-coloured PCB identifies the Dual Core Gold Pro revision released in 2014.

Firmware locked to 3DS system versions 1.0 through

The card only loads Nintendo DS ROMs; it cannot boot 3DS ROMs. Compatibility stops at firmware 11.6, so consoles updated beyond that point will not recognise the adapter. Users must obtain the kernel from the dated 2014 download link to initialise the menu system.

Gold PCB with bundled microSD reader

The cartridge includes a dedicated card reader for transferring files to the microSD media. Cheat support uses standard .dat files, while the on-screen menu groups games, media playback and Wi-Fi upgrade icons for quick access. Save files can be backed up through the same interface.
