Kernel/OS (EOS) or Firmware? What is the difference?


Kernel,OS,EOS, Firmware, all are familiar terms to Nintendo player.Do you really know the difference between them.

Two terms should be bear on mind here: Internal firmware and kernel/OS. 

The internal firmware is the internal software of your SuperCard itself, stored specially in your SuperCard, whereas EOS is the kernel/OS, the software that your SuperCard runs from the microSD.

Image that your microSD is the hard-disk  You put Windows (the OS) on your harddisk on your computer, and when your computer turns on it runs Windows. And from Windows it runs the rest of your programs, like games. If the microSD is your harddisk, and the EOS is your Windows, then the Firmware is the stuff your computer runs before it loads Windows.

If you've never seen it before restart your computer right now, and look at what it does after it turns itself on again. It will always load something before Windows. And that "something" is in the internal 'memory' of your computer, just like your Firmware is in the internal memory of your SuperCard.

Sound quite simple, doesn't it?

“Fake card! please return to retailer” problem solved

Several days ago I occur to a issue that is “Fake card! please return to retailer” problem when I try to use the use the official R4i kernel v1.69b for R4i-SDHC 3DS. I was very irritated by this situation. 

After insulting some people and surf on the internet for several days. Ultimately I am able to find a solution. 

It is said that the reason for this is that SDHC team stop production for R4i-SDHC 3DS card , and turn to make promotion for R4i-SDHC 3DS RTS. In fact , it’s official kernel bug result in this error occur, not the retailers selling face cards.

The steps:

1. Download the new kernel : 

2. Get “R4.zip” file,and extract it to the ROOT of your Micro SD card .

3. Insert R4i-SDHC 3DS card to your 3ds/dsi/dsl console.

4 Focus on the game icon and then run the ds system. Then it will go to loading main interface of R4I-SDHC 3DS card. This time , it looks great and without a waring show on screen.

Bingo! Well done!The world returns to peace again.
