In some flashcard kernels, an arbitrary expiration date (more commonly known as a time bomb) is coded in by the kernel developers as a way to get consumers to buy their latest product. The procedure for how this works is the following:
1. The flashcart is booted into, loads up the kernel file from the SD card without checking if it's the kernel intended by the developers.
1. Upon each time the kernel file from the SD card is loaded, it inspects the system date if it's past a certain date

If the second test comes out positive, the kernel will refuse to boot. This can be tested by setting your date to the latest value possible. However, the security is weak and the results aren't cached, meaning that there are ways to work around it:
If you want to use the default kernel that the flashcart manufacturers intended, the system clock could be set back in the device's System Settings application. Keep in mind, though, that this may break any game that relies on the system clock (such as Animal Crossing: Wild World).

However, the kernels that come with these cards are fundamentally flawed, and it is more preferable to outright replace them. Thankfully, 3rd party developers have made alternatives for us to use:

- [YSmenu - menu + game loader](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/egadrhxj8gimu5t/AACv2KqWmeXEHkxoYRluobxha?dl=0) - Although it does not have the advantage of a customizable all-in-one menu, the game loader has far better compatibility with support for action-replay cheats
- [TWiLight Menu++ with nds-bootstrap](../twilightmenu/installing-flashcard) - Although this has the customizable all-in-one menu, its B4DS mode (the mode that is used when it doesn't have the DSi capabilities) has weak compatibility, some games even requiring the memory expansion pak. However, this supports cheats
- [TWiLight Menu++ with YSmenu](../twilightmenu/installing-flashcard) - The customizable all-in-one menu with a high compatibility, but has a lack of cheat support
- [TWiLight Menu++ with nds-bootstrap](/twilightmenu/installing-flashcard) - Has a customizable all-in-one menu and supports cheats, but its B4DS mode (the mode used when it doesn't have the DSi's capabilities) has weak compatibility, some games even requiring the Memory Expansion Pak

### ARGV support
ARGV is an information transmitter between two homebrew Nintendo DS applications. It can be used for forwarders or alternative menus.
