NDSL R4 SDHC 2GB/4GB Loading Screen (**NO Email posting or banned**)

For those of you thinking of buying a Flash Card, such as an R4 or any of the other numerous ones avilable, if you buy one with a Micro SD card from www.dragonds.com they'll put the correct firmaware on the Micro SD card for you for a small additional few.

 

wish that it's solved,I find not many people could meet such problems,is there lucky?

 

Hi everyone,

As I have been reading, alot of you are still having trouble loading Kernels to your R4's that you bought from different companies.

I have not been around for some time and have browsed through all the activity that this site has generated and still there is no answer to everyone's plight.

I have helped in the past and I know alot of you have been sending requests for help to me.

Anyone who still is within doubt of fixing their DS issues, give me a sign and I am now able to help further.

Pugg back on course to help.

Hi Pugg,

I sent you a message a while back, and I just sent you another one now. Please reply to me when you get the chance my R4i is sitting collecting dust since I have been unable to solve the issue myself.

Please check your private messages and email me when you get the chance.

Thanks,

 

Hi, to all those who would require some assistance with thier DS, can you please send me a private email so that we can try and resolve the issues you are having. If and when the problems are fixed, then you can add comments to this board for others to read and hopefully relpy back.

Do not send me your email onto this board (send it private), as you will probably be kicked off or have your message diluted so yr email does not show.

Hope I can help any of you who are having difficulties.

I have the Zelda NDS lite (gold version) and a transcend 4gb SDHC but it's also stuck at the loading screen.

Have tried v3.11, 1.20, 1.26, 1.54, v1.25, and the downloads at r4ultra.com to no avail.

Is tearing hair out and would really like to get rid of this headache.

My kingston 2gb SDC is suddenly not working too.

 

The biggest issue with the R4 is the number of different cards all needing different firmware's (38!).

The general rules to eliminate most issues are,

1) Format your micro SD with Panasonics SD formatter (free use Google to find) and use it each time you change the firmware.

2) Download your firmware and extract it straight on to the SD (not onto the PC then transfer)

3) Try the available firmware's - http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/ hosts them all, start with the likely candidates and work your way through

4) Ensure the SD is seated correctly in the R4 before putting into the DS

5) Try the paper shim trick - if the contacts to the DS are not good enough then the unit can not draw enough power to run. Put a piece of folded paper or thin card between the DS and the cartridge to push the contacts together

6) Unless it specifically says - the unit can take up to 2GB micro SD's, if it says SDHC then it can take up to 32GB (16GB is currently the highest available)

7) Ensure the clock is correctly set on the DS - this upsets some R4's

8) At the firmware stage do not put any roms on, get it past the loading issue first. Once past the loading issue put 1 known good rom on and see if you can get it to run (some firmwares will boot on other cards but will not run a rom)

 

Hmm too bad nothing of this worked for me.
I also have a R4 SDHC, downloaded the firmware from r4sdhc.com and from the sites kittymat mentioned, but none worked.
I have a R4 SDHC on the box the site name is ''http://www.r4sdhc.com
but the kernels didn't work on that site, almost tried every one.
Still don't know what the problem is

I really think I got a broken card...

Send me your email address but send it privately as it will be deleted from this site and I will forward the bits across to you so hopefully you get your R4 working.

Hi im new on here so any help would be greatful!!!

Ive bought an DSi running v1.2e and also bought an R4i cartridge from www.r4i-sdhc.com using their latest firmware v1.12b english. Anyway i just keep getting the dreaded "Loading" screen and nothing else happens.

I emailed the company but no reply so ive been reading this forum and tried all the tricks and still keep getting the loading screen....

Is the DSi or R4i cartridge faulty or do i keep trying the firmware updates. Although ive tried them from 1.09 to 1.12b and still the same loading screen.

Any help is much appreciated...

no joy so far any help would be greatly appreciated for sure

 

Penfold, have a look at this site www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/
It lists around 20 different versions of software for the various R4 cards. There is also a guide to help you identify which card you have. Hope this helps.
