The R4i-SDHC loader no longer boots on an r4i-sdhc.com cart #5

After someone in the DSi Mode Hacking! server was having issues with autobooting Twilight Menu++ on their r4i-sdhc.com cart, I decided to check to see if the timebomb boot workaround was actually working with flashcard-bootstrap. Using r4.dat from the latest release, I am met with the ?menu error screen. The same error screen appears with Twilight Menu's included autoboot files.

Pre-1.4.0 releases can boot using r4.dat, v1.4.0 and newer releases end up booting to the ?menu screen. The same issue can be replicated across both of my r4i-sdhc.com carts and across different SD cards.

While fixed by https://github.com/lifehackerhansol/flashcard-bootstrap/commit/00b6136b23696b46355069e1b9f54253eb77c986, this is a hack and we should really figure out why it doesn't like small files.

Of course, should we find it really does hardcode something, then we have no choice to declare the hack a real solution.

Any chance to support this flashcart? I tried the latest commit, copy R4.dat and BOOT.NDS into SD card root but it doesnt boot and only shows white screen.

I have that cart, it's working. Not sure what's going on.

What's the boot.nds you used?

Hi, that is TWiLightMenu's BOOT.NDS. Also tried the R4.dat file from TWiLight's autoboot folder but it won't work too.

YSMenu works with my cart so I'm not sure what went wrong with it.
