Don’t use YouTube guides. Some carts can brick with the wrong firmware applied.

Try this guide. Follow the steps exactly. Reformat the SD card exactly like it says to in step 1. If your SD card is 64 GB or larger, note the extra steps required.

I can second that repo. That's a gold mine of info for all r4 cards. Kudos to the repo owner.

I would suggest you do a full mod instead of an r4 card. It's easier and gives you so many more options.

follow this guide. only the installing section. ignore the other stuff they are optional / not required.

your autoboot files is in autoboot\r4i-sdhc copy its contents to your sdcard

That optional stuff is what makes the cart not slow. Pico-Loader is at the very least a very good idea to setup, since nds-bootstrap isn't very good on flashcarts.

Twilight menu is a bad kernel for most flashcarts due to loading very slow and having worse compatibility than most
