Heh! No matter how young they are they will install the moon shell if they ever want it.

I would say go ahead and install it, though. It is easy enough to delete.

yeah im having the same problem. it works fine with the firmware thats on the disk that came with the r4. but when i try to update the firmware it always gets stuck at the loading screen. ive tried everything but it only works with the firmware on the disk. any body know how to get past this? oh and its an english version so its not the patch issue.

I'm having the same problem! I emailed the R4 tech-people but they haven't gotten back to me yet. I hope somebody knows how to fix this because it's really starting to frustrate me!

Well after doing some poking around. I found out that I too was scammed with an N5. If you're firmware on the disc that was sent to you has a file called _AX_MENU.DAT, you're using the N5 firmware not the R4. Looks like I'll be buying another cart...

Dear Arch Fellin, I looked all over the world, and I discovered you have (had) exactly the same problem as me. (see your older posting below) I just got the R4 yesterday and I tried (I think)everything. Can you (or anyone else who has the answer) please help me(ASAP)? What am I doing wrong, or is the R4 or SD card broken? Greetings Evapower

This is way better than the guides that I used last weekend when I messed up my media menu. I will redo it this coming weekend using this guide.

I think that my problems will go away.



the lower screen says game loading and shows a blue bar. The top screen starts scrolling text that looks like commands. Version 1.71 appears at the top left and "MoonShell" appears in the middle above the scrolling lines of text.

An error was detected while trying to access a disc or file.

Did the set up end normally?
Is the moonshl folder moved or deleted?
Have you enabled the resume function with a media that is not supported?
Do you have enough free space on your media?
Please reformat the media and try again.
Please try with different media from another manufacturer.


Then the screens change and both top and bottom have the blue backgrounds
top

I just purchased a R4DS card for my grandson from depot888.com . I would like to say, the price and service of depot888.com are EXCELLENT. The only thing is that they are Canada based company and drop shipping from Hong Kong. It took me about 2 weeks to get the parcel. So if you are in a hurry, please do not order from them, otherwise everything is perfect.
My grand daughter now is asking for another R4 DS card. I just paid a new irder thru paypal and parcel is on the way.
Hope this will help.

hi can someone elp me i have a nintendo ds and have bought a one of them plug in addapters with thetransflash adapter and the micro sandisc 2gb card i also have the cartridge that goes in ds but when i download the games how do you put them on the card HELP ME PLEASE:::::

Just drag 'n' drop.

if its an r4 card youve got go to first page of this thread for a guide on how to set it up.

Quite right Tommy6, I was just assuming that that had already been done. DOH !!!

My R4 version 2 with sandisk 2gb just keeps coming up with the loading screen. I updated to the latest software and followed your guide but nothin and i am sure my sd card is in correct as the R4 is the new version 2 without the spring problem. i really cant get it working and have no idea y????

I think you'll find it's a rebadged N5.

I purchase on Depot888 too. Good retailer. Got the order status notification after placed the order, and they support MSN/Skype contact. Instant help.
