Hi,

I've just gone through the process of resetting an R4iTT 3DS NEW flashcart & discovered that it isn't compatible with the BL2CK OS kernel. I've added the installation note to the r4itt.net readme.txt.

We could also split the NEW and RTS into different folders instead of this weird joint stock venture thing that's going on here

Sounds reasonable, but I understand that also 3ds rts and previous r4itt are all compatible with that same Kernel. Wouldn't we be copying the same root files multiple times?

It "technically" works but the RTS cart actually has a completely different kernel that I never bothered to upload because BL2CK is a kernel that originated from the RTS kernel. So we probably should be splitting it anyway

If we do, likely the RTS cart just won't have a kernel upload and will have a single readme file telling you where to go

I'll split them and have RTS direct to the BL2CK kernel download

Ready. Split NEW and RTS and updated their respective readme.txt

I've just tested BL2CK OS on my R4iTT 3DS NEW with a few games and it seems to work just fine for me. What kind of issues did you have when trying it out?

There are only two variants of the R4iTT, does yours have a screw on the back by any chance?

I couldn't get past a 'System File Missing' error. I made sure the SD card was formatted correctly and tried several times gettng BL2CK OS's files on the SD card's root.

Unless I missed any step in installing BL2CK, I could only get the flashcart to work with the old kernel, but I followed the process as described on the Flashcarts Guides docsite.

I'm 100% the flashcart works because I was just playing super mario some minutes ago.

My flashcart isn't the one with the little screw. Can I attach some pictures to these comments? I'll try
