Just got my R4i Gold but it wont work

#1 07 Jan 2013 @ 13:58
I have the latest firmware on my NDSi (1.45) but I get the press power and troubleshoot error. I downloaded the firmware from their site although my flash cart came with it on it and it still doesnt work. I have the R4i Gold pro. Also it says "metroid prime hunters demo" on the main screen , is that normal?

This is for my daughter for christmas , obviously the card was late getting here so I was pissed about that, not it gets here and I cant get it to work. Any help appreciated , thanks all

I have the same problem, but with a different card. r4i-3ds
go to the website that is on the card to update the card, hopefully then it will work.

It is ok that is says "metroid prime hunters demo" it is normal.
Good luck

so what you got is r4i gold pro? as i know they released a patch to update the card work on dsi v1.45
here is their official downlaod page: http://www.r4i-gold.com/en/download/skin/2012/0115/281.html

you need a dsl to update the card, do you have dsl? or you can borrow one from your friend :/

and here is what i found for how to update, the method is for 3ds v4.4, but seems all the update method are same.

ok, Ill have to look for a dsl now I guess. thanks

thats where I got my patch from, why is it you need a dsl to update, and by dsl Im guessing you mean a dsi xl?
#9 09 Jan 2013 @ 0:42
no, not dsi xl, the DS or DSL
if you can get another dsi console which is below v1.4.5, or 3ds console which is blow v4.4, that is ok too.
anyway, just need a console which your r4i gold pro can work on, then you can use that console to update your card..

ok, I found someone local whos selling a dsl. does that work regardless of the version of firmware? If so Ill by that and have it for whenever I face this issue.

it will be easier on a normal ds or ds lite as these cant be updated so your good to go, and everyone knows someone who has a ds/l they could borrow for 5 mins

ok, good to know, I may just buy a ds/l so I can be independent from borrowing, thanks guys
