Okay, I have a DS lite (Silver) and the R4 works on it ONLY with 4GB microSD card!! The black (older) DS lite I have works with both 2GB and 4GB microSD card.
The R4 I have is R4 SDHC and the firmware is v1.34. You can download it here:
r4sdhc(DOT)com/down.asp#r4
Also, some others mentioned that to make sure your memory card is microSD not micro SDHC!
Hope this helps anyone that had the same problem as I did :)
If you want 100% game compatibility and want it to work on the latest DSi/XL firmware the supercard DSTWO is the way to go, it also has onboard cpu SNES and GBA emulation.
You can buy it through our channel with free worldwide shipping, though ill let the crowd here know :)
hey question if i had my r4 working for my kid 3 weeks later i go to put more games in and now its stuck on loading what can i do to fix it by the way i have a 4 gig card does that matter?
it does not matter what Suze card it is it sounds like a problem i had to what you can try is copy all THE games to your pc and then format the card then put THE kernel and THE games back on
but in my case blowing at THE card and cardridge worked to
i have r4i sdhcplease read no one can fix this im a newbee to this
please comment back.
U know how when you put a game in DSI how it gives a logo and name of game, i put mine in and it doesnt show you a logo or name it says no cartridge AND i bought mine new
it came in a R4i SDHC the box is red i think i fixed the problem, but will i just copy and paste the game folder in to games after extracting? i put the extracted folder in right? i cant try yet because i lost my Sd lol thanks for helping am i doing it right so far though?
if you got all the things you had to download on your SD you add a folder called games in there you put all your nintendo ds games the games should have .nds at the end of the name so for example: supermario.nds
@ziggamaster: Ik zie nog iets..... HEB JIJ EEN R4i-SDHC??? Ik ook, kijk uit, die werkt NIET op DSi 1.4... En je bureaublad is een beetje volletjes... Mijne ook, moet ik nog opruimen XD
