Hi, I really hope somebody can help. I recently bought an R4 card for my daughters Ds Lite with a 4gb sandisk micro sdhc card & card reader. I had already downloaded some ds games from torrent sites. From reading some of these threads i thought it was just a case of drag & drop the nds files onto the card, but this just gave me the message 'Loading' when i turn on the ds. Then i read that i need to copy the firmware onto the card.I've also tried a 2gb micro sdhc card because one thread i read says that the R4 doesn't work with cards above 2gb. I had a cd with the R4, so i've copied the files that it says in one of these threads, eg., system folder, moonshl folder,DS_MHSL.NDS & DS_MENU (its not DS_MENU.Dat, it describes the file as a video cd movie) to the micro sd card & then dragged the nds game files in & it still gives me the message 'Loading' on the ds screen when i switch on & nothing else happens.I'm not sure if my pc is recognising the micro sd card because it says on the tutorials i've read to copy the firmware to the root directory of the card. If my pc recognises the micro sd card should i see a root directory when i open it up ? All it comes up as is Removable disc(G and when i open it, it is empty inside. Could this be my problem ? I'm very confused and my daughters are getting very impatient !! I think i need an idiots guide to show me every step of the process.
read this guide to give you an understanding how r4ds works http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/627024 then read this http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/663104
You havent downloaded the right firmware. This is what you have to do... (if you havent already you will need to download winRAR to open the files) 1. Delete everything on your MicroSD Card. 2. Download this latest firmware (it has to be this particular one). http://www.ndslr4.com/soft/25-en.htm. Extract it and copy and paste the 5 files straight onto the microSD card through the computer. These 5 files are... 'moonshl' folder '_system_' folder '_DS_MSHL.NDS' file 'DS_MENU.INI' file '_DS_MENU.DAT' file 3. Then put microSD card into the R4 device and it should load up fine. If you want to put ROMS on there, just download them and copy and paste them straight to microSD card. This should work. .there is a Online manual at this address if you need to read it. http://www.ndslr4.com/product-en.htm i hope this helps this is what worked with mine.(mine was coming up with loading screen)
