Rate my setup/suggestions?
I recommend modding the 3DS. Only because it adds so much features that the 3DS doesn't have now. On top of that, backing up the ROMs for your cartridges is great for long trips where you really don't want to bring every game you own, or just when you can't be bothered.

I've got R4i cartridge, where can I get firmware to make it work on an old 3ds?
Really old R4 cards that used the DS Phat/Lite icon data exploit don't even appear on the 3DS or DSi homescreen, though NTR Launcher can make some of them work.
-
Can’t play the R4 cartridge on a DSi or 3DS. Can I update to the latest firmware for the R4 without any potential problems?
You could try ntr launcher. This should let you use your flashcard on your 3ds.

Old R4
On 3DS as I've said twice now you'll need to install CFW if you haven't already. If it doesn't show up on the HOME Menu (I don't think it will) even with CFW you'll then need to install NTR Launcher or TWiLight Menu++, then load your cart from one of those.
-
R4i 3DS not working on a 3DS. I'm using the latest woodR4 version (1.64) from the website r4ids.cn Anyone know why the card the specifically says 3DS won't work on a 3DS?
Nitro Launcher can be used to launch some very old flash cards on the 3DS: https://github.com/ApacheThunder/NTR_Launcher

Acekard 2i not working on hacked n2dsxl?
You can install NTR Launcher cia to launch Slot 1 carts: https://github.com/ApacheThunder/NTR_Launcher/releases/tag/2.5
-
R4 isn't showing up on 3ds. It used to.
If you want to skip all the button pressing and launch the R4 right from the HOME menu, you should get NTR Launcher. Will place an icon on the HOME menu that instantly boots the Slot-1 card.

Noob Advice
You can find NTR Launcher here. Grab the latest release (it should be called NTR_Launcher_v2_5.zip) then copy all files inside the zip file into your 3DS SD card. Then install the .cia file with FBI, just like you'd install any other CIA file.
-
Can you use an R4 on an hacked 3ds with luma3ds?
Yes, it will work. Even older flashcarts that are blocked on 3DS can be made to work on a hacked console using NTR_Launcher (probably not necessary though).
-
My R4i 3DS is working on my NDS, but not on my 3DS??
Older flashcarts are blocked from booting on 3DS by Nintendo. You can get it working by hacking your 3DS and running NTR_Launcher.
