    Hi all,
    A friend has asked me to update his DS flashcard< I personally only have used M3 and M3i so, when he give me a couple of R4 card I didn't think it would be so difficult.

    1st R4 kernal was last update April 08
    2nd a lot of games don't play on this
    3rd Cant find new loader.

    Does anyone know of any program to load newer games on a R4 flashcard

    hello
    R4 consoles need to update their kernels consistently to support new games. So they are not so easy to use as m3/ak2i.

    I have this same problem. I have an R4 cart and I think they may have just stopped supporting it with updates :\

    If anyone knows of any way to get this working better I'd much appreciate it also.

    I have noooooooooo idea what you just said here!!?? lol

    Anyways R4 is dead...has been for quite sometime.
    One of the best cards to get at the moment (which I have been using also for about 2 years is the Acekard2i. It plays all old games and new ones as well.
    Until now I have had no problems trying to play any .nds roms.

    I recommend you get this new card and throw away the R4 as you will just be pulling your hair and wasting alot of time.
