    Obviously by using an adapter, you now have your micro SD cards sticking out of the DS. Doesn't sounds like an option that many people will gravitate toward. Do you have a picture that you can post so we can all see what it looks like?

    On a side note, 3 x 8 GB is 24 GB not 32 GB.

    I can answer this question from experience. You can only use a 1GB or 2GB microSD card. I learned this by buying a 4GB which will result in a common error you see on boards: the DS hangs up after startup with a screen that only says Loading... and you can't get to the GUI.

    I had a 1GB microSD in my phone for camera phone pictures and when I swapped them out, the R4 running v1.18 ran perfectly. I've had no problems since. I work with three friends who all have 2GB cards that work fine.

    I have question. I just bought the R4 that doesn't support 4GB SDHC. I see that there is clone R4, named R4 SDHC.

    http://www.r4sdhc.com/soft/27-en.htm

    Can you use the kernel from the clone, on the original R4 to get it to accept the 4GB SDHC, or is that a hardware limitation?

    Thanks,
    Helldozer

    The site you mention seem to be the original new R4 with SDHC, because is so similar as the original R4, including the product packaging...

    If I understood well; you have the original R4 model generation 1, that do NOT support SDHC, I guess it is a hardware limitation; you will never make this product being compatible with any SDHC memory. I think still can find 4GB SD (not SDHC) memory card but I don't know whether can really work on a standard R4, try more information before make any decision

    Yes, that is correct. they are two completely different products made by different people. I would assume the firmware for one will not work on the other and vice versa, but since all it involves is a downlaod and try, you should try it. I don't think it can muck anything up permanantly. Let us know.

    Good luck with that. If you find any, buy them all. I don't think you will have any success, but you might.

    I had the same problem at first cause i didnt copy the _R4_III_.DAT. but heres what you need in the root of of your card. 1._DS_MENU_.DAT 2._DS_MENU.SYS 3._DS_MSHL.NDS 4._R4_III.DAT 5._SYSTEM_ "ALL THAT MUST BE IN THE ROOT OF THE SD(HC) WHICHEVER YOU GOT" Next all this should also be in the _SYSTEM_ folder. 1.EBOOK 2. THEMES 3. CHEAT.DAT 4. GBAFRAME.BMP. <If you have all that it should work without a problem.

    4GB sdhc worked for my R4, I brought it from here

    They sell the memory cards really cheap. I'm thinking of getting a another one soon.

    Can R4 play mp3 music?

    Can u post the kernel details or link or SOMETHING that makes 4gb sdHC work pls?

    I have just bought 2 4GB SDHC cards and i get the loading... screen everyone talks about.

    If u have got ur 4gb sdhc to work PLS post exactly how - y say u found the right kernel and not link to it in your post?

    This is a helping forum not a bragging one i believe?
    _____________________________________________________________________

    OK worked it out i think - hopefully this will answer all peoples questions.

    There are diff versions of the R4DS - The Original then R4 -II and now R4-III.

    The original R4 WILL NOT WORK WITH 4gb SDHC cards.

    I BELIEVE the R4III has been made specifically to take the larger sdhc system. Someone posted to place the r4III file in the root etc - this wont work for an original r4ds - i tried it.

    There are different updates of firmware still being released for these diff versions so Orig R4 is now up to Kernel 1.18 but via the link i mention below i saw diff releases for diff models inc 1.21 and 3.03 - U need to know which version u have to choose the correct update

    it will become clearer if u head to the r4dsl.net site - its in asian language but there is an english link at top of page that will help.

    if im not allowed to place links google r4DSL and look for a ".net" address

    In a nutshell if u want large capacity like 4gb and up - u need to upgrade to the R4III version - which is what im gonna do now that i bought TWO 4gb cards!

    Hope this makes it clear for all.

    Erm I had the loading screen problem.

    There are 2 firmwares for the R4DS. One for SD and one for SDHC.

    And they can both be found here. http://www.techzo.co.uk

    When you get to that link go to software updates.

    I have tested this on my R4DS and it solved my loading screen problem.
