    Download the latest firmware for R4DS at http://www.r4ds.com. Make sure these files are present in the root directory of your micro-SD card: system_ (folder); moonshl (folder); _DS_MENU.DAT; and _DS_MSHL.NDS.

    Double click on the RAR file, and then a window pops-up with a folder in it. Now, open this folder and you'll see all the files aformetioned. Drag all these files into the root directory of your micro-SD card.

    When you plug in your micro-SD card to the USB port using the adapter, your PC will assign it a corresponding letter. That letter is precisely the root directory. Now, what you need to do is drag and drop all those (four) files into it, and you should be good to go.

    I've got an R4 bought in China. I'm sure I've loaded all the files correctly onto a Kingston 1GB microSD. I'm using English V1.15 downloaded from the R4 website. When I power up the DS the top screen shows the R4 artwork but the bottom screen shows a blue box with 3 exclamation marks followed by a line of Chinese text. I can't decipher this or get past it - can anybody help ?

    Hi I had the same problem as CHINAR4 except I bought it here in Canada at an asian shopping center, its probably the same manufacturer and I started getting the same chinese symbols with the three exlamation points too. A long story short - I'm wondering if there is a web site other than www.r4ds.com with kernels that support this chinese Revolution R4. Can anyone solve this? Please and Thanx!

    Hey there, this may sound like a stupid question, but just thought I'd put it out there anyway. So, just got an R4, tried a test run with a few games, and they worked great, but then I got this one rom, and it's playing, when it starts acting like it's got a snag. Now, when I downloaded the game, it had a bunch of .rar files. I only downloaded one, because when I looked at all the different .rars they all had the same size, so I assumed they were all the same file. Should I extract all the files and just rename them, so they don't overwrite each other?

    Oh, and also, for some reason, it constantly asks for me to format the SD. As in, I format it, load my stuff on it, I play it a couple times, and then it gets stuck on the black 'loading' screen, and when I plug it back in my com, it asks to be formatted again. Help please.
