    I have a R4i SDHC Card and I need help trying to get it to work


    *****************************

    Hey guys

    A few years ago I bought a R4 Card from a local Mom and Pop Computer Store

    This is what is on the front of the package it came in

    front

    R4i SDHC
    R4I-SDHC
    Upgrade
    Revolution for DS
    (NDSi/NDSL/NDS)
    www.r4-v.com ( the website does not work anymore )

    back

    The Box includes : R41, Micro SD card reader


    *******************************************************


    The color of the sensors or whatever you call it
    on the Card it is Red and its says R41-SDHC


    I own a Nintendo DSi and its about three
    years old and I really dont us it that much

    Currently the R4 Card will just not work

    Today I upgraded the firmware of the unit
    via Wifi like the way you would do a firmware
    update to a Stand Alone Bluray player and
    then I tried the R4 Card and it still would not work

    I Googled " R4 Card not working " and someone said
    " set the date of the unit back to 2011 " and then it should work

    I did that and it did not work ............

    Then I read about "upgrading the Kerrnal "

    I tried following the instructions on overwriting
    the contents of the 8 GB Micro SD Card three different
    times with different Keernal Upgrades and none of them
    work

    I keep getting this message on my DSI

    **************

    An error has occurred. Press and
    hold the Power Button to turn the
    system off. Please see the Nintendo
    DSi Operations Manual for help
    troubleshooting

    ******************************

    I went to this page

    www .r4-ds-r4i.com/pages/R4i-SDHC-kernel-download.html

    and I tried

    R4i SDHC Kernel V1.67b (English)

    and I tried this one

    R4i SDHC Kernel V1.67b (English)

    and I followed these instructions

    Installation instructions:
    Unzip the folder, copy R4iMenu, moonshl2, moonmemo, r4.DAT into the micro sd card.Copy games, music,movies into the micro SD card, insert the SD card into R4i SDHC v1.4.5 flashcard, then insert the flash card into console. Power on the console, press”A” to start choosing.(Take Kernel V1.40b as an example):

    **********************

    and it still did not work

    .... Oh I have a good idea. I will put the 8 GB Micro SD Cardin the
    T-FLASH USB Reader and I will tell / paste whats it in .....

    ( I was going to print screen but I forgot how to do that )

    GAMES
    moonmemo
    moonshl2
    R4iMenu
    DEMON0.SYS
    R4.dat
    SWRESET.SYS


    thats whats on / in my 8 GB MicroSD Card
    and I cant remember if it was included
    when I bought the R$ Card .... ( don't laugh at me )


    I overwrote all the files with the new Kernel Updates
    and nothing worked

    I also think I tried one of the updates from this site

    //r4town.com/pages/R4iSDHC-Kernel.html

    and that did not work either

    this next part is the most frustrating part
    because I found a site that gives me AN EXACT PICTURE
    of my card here

    www .r4i-sdhc.com/downloade.asp

    The Card I have is the very last one at the bottom
    just scroll down

    This is DEFINITELY my card

    R4i-SDHC kernel download(with mark,withoutor)

    I downloaded and overwrote using this

    English
    V1.12d 2013-06-25

    and even though there was a picture of my
    card so I knew I had the right one that
    did not work either .....

    **************************

    If there is anyone who can give me
    simple point form idiot proof instructions
    on now to get my card working again that work rock

    In the meantime I have a copy of Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword
    That I actually paid for so I will keep playing that
    and I might buy a few more Games used from some stores
    near me

    If I cant get it it working and none of you guys can help
    me I will probably take it back to where I bou8ght it
    and ask the dude who sold it to me if he can try and get it
    working for me .. and if he can;t if he could sell me a
    new one and make sure it works before I leave the store
    I will also ask if I can get a discount if i give him
    back the card that's not working maybe he can use it for parts or something

    If anyone can help me please just tell me what to do
    and what to buy or whatever .. Private Message me if
    you have to.................

    Thanks In Advance

    i guess it's because your card is too old and also you can not find the correct kernel for this card because the official site is not working. looks like you also have tried all the possible ways to solve it. i can only recommend you buy a r4i gold 3ds card instead, which is new updated version and working great on your dsi console.

    Ok I will go to the place that sold me my R4,card and
    Ask them if they have a r4i gold

    If I get one of those will it work
    Automatically or will I need to
    Update this with that Kernel
    Thing ? And if so what website
    should I do that on ?

    Hey Annie moon

    Ok you got it. I wil buy an R4i Gold 3ds card from
    That site at the end of the month.

    When they say that when you buy the card it's
    " pre flashed " they are just talking about
    The Card itself right ? Because when you
    Buy it with no SD card you have to
    Download the latest wood kernel from
    The links provided and put them on
    The root of the card right ? When they
    Say the cards are pre flashed and working
    Does that mean that they will put the
    Wood kernel upgrade thing on the Micro
    SD card if you buy one with the card ?

    ( if I sound like an idiot please don't laugh
    At me. I am almost 40 years old. )

    Ok nice and easy.

    I buy the card and
    II download the latest
    Wood kernel thing from
    The links. And out
    It in the root of the
    SD card and then I
    Am ready to go.

    Hey can I make a folder
    For DS Roms and SNES Roms
    On the same SD card and
    Play them both whenever I want
    Or does it not work that way ?

    Hold on I will read the SNES part
    Again on that link. Brb.

    I own a DSI that says Ver 1.4.5U
    On the System settings page
    And its the year 2008 on the back
    Of it if that information matters.

    My DSI is not to old is it ?

    Anyways I will buy
    The R4i Gold 3ds
    At the end of the month

    It looks like I can
    Have a folder for DS games
    And a folder for SNES games
    On the same Micro SD card
    Inserted into the R4i Gold 3ds
    Correct ? Anyways I think
    I am over thinking this too much
    I will tell you guys how it goes
    After I receive the card and
    Try and get it to work.

    If I buy that card from that kink with a SD card do
    They put the Wood Kernal thing on it for me
    And make sure it works before they mail
    It to me ?

    hi the preflashed just means the r4i gold 3ds card has been updated to be able to support your dsi V1.45, it doesn't mean they can put the kernel files on the sd card. but you can do it in 2 mins when you receive the card to put the latest wood firmware on the sd card with the guide link. and yeah, you can create new folders to store the ds and snes roms. and no worry about your dsi console is too old, the r4 card will be workin great on it. thanks.

    Does that site take PayPal and / or can I call them
    And give them my credit card info verbally
    Over the phone as opposed to entering it
    On the site ?
