    Zero123Pr,
    For starters, the Micro-SD card needs to be placed securely inside the R4 slot. If you have made every attempt to do this to no avail, then I suggest you send it back for an exchange or refund.

    Right, so I now have 2 micro SD cards, and I think that the card reader is fine, and nothing wrong with the micro sd's, because somewhere I read they send red light sd card readers now, I think the R4 may be defective, I want my money back, or at least a replacement - but i've lost the original packaging and its been over 14 days.

    Anyone, please, help - When I put the R4 in, newest update, new Micro SD and everything, my DS just doesn't recognise it and says there is no ds card inserted, I've found 1 person with the same problem but he hasn't found out (I haven't dropped it or anything.)

    Thank you for your replies, if you manage to succesfully help me I will name a song after you on newgrounds ;-) only if you want.

    This is so wrong but you could purchase another one that you know you can return and then swap the R4 and packaging.
    BEFORE YOU DO THAT: see if you can borrow a different DS and see if it works or not. Then you would know if it is the R4 or your DS. OH and watch the video tutorial above to make sure you are loading the R4 correctly.

    ok so im just dumb when it comes to computers so ima try and explain this so people with a brain can understand me...

    i bought 2 r4 deluxe sdhc (ndsl/nds) packages and it came with a black r4 cartridge and a microSD usb 2.0 stick thingy

    and i bought 2 sandisk 2 gb micro sd cards

    one for me and one for my best mate.

    i downloaded the english 1.18 thing from the offical site and now its all .rar and has a stack of books as the icon. its whatever.

    so i stuck the micro sd card into the usb port stick thing and stuck it into my computer. and i drag/drop the english 1.18 onto the removable device folder and its there. so i took out the 4 files that were in it and added it to the root page next to the english folder.

    and i made a games folder and put some games in it that i downloaded. which also had the stack of books as the icon. still whatever. i dont get the books thing tho :]

    so yeah... did all that and then i went to put the micro sd card into the r4 cartridge and play some killer games....

    and i get the black screen of death thats stuck on loading.

    gutted.

    and also like... i got two of them. and both the micro cards work when i put them in one of the usb ports... but not the other. i tried doing it every which way but is it possible i got a bad one? like i stick it in and the light comes on and i go to my computer to open it and it says i havent stuck anything in it. but when i take it out... it goes away. and comes back when i stick it in.

    and when i stick in the other one... it just opens all swift like.

    wtf please help me if anyone actually got to the bottom of this.

    Vegan ... the stack of books as the icon is a W1nrar file and you need to extract them .

    The games you have MUST be nameofthegame.nds extension in order for them to work.

    Hi,
    ok, i know a very similar thing has been aasked many times, but i cant make m r4 work.
    I got one from my boyfriend as a christmas present. He already has one of his own, and since i'm a bit hopeless with computers and technology he did all the stuff with the folders on it and games and such for me.

    But it's not working. I'm just getting the black loading screen and it's not going away.
    I've checked the menu thingy and I definitely have the 4 things that i'm supposed to have. in the games folder all the games are named (number) - (game title).whatever

    any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    Hi Same theme hope someone has definitive solution for NDS R4 as everytime it loads the welcome screen loads with the logo - and then goes straight to Loading screen and freezes.

    I have installed the latest kernal 1.18

    Files loaded in the root are _DS_Menu & _DS_MSHL.DNS
    With 3 folders - System_ ; Moonshl ; & Games

    In the games files I only have files with game name.nds and .SAV extensions.

    The card is a 4gb Micro SD that came with the kit from R4 REvoluton for DS.

    Any help guidance very gratefully received

    Yours with a headache

    G

    Mergin I seem to be having a similar problem. When I try to change out my game files, it keeps saying that I have the same amount of space that I did before, instead of the 1.8 gigs I should have available. So when I just deleted all of my game files, it still only shows me having 34MB free on the R4.

    Help please?
