I have visited forum after forum looking for a solution and nothing yet.

I have the R4 Card with both a 2GB and a 4GB(SDHC) cards.

I used the latest update and r4crypt to change the file from .nds to .dat.

I put them on the cards and still it does not move from that black and white loading screen.

Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance...]]> 733 Sun, 29 Sep 2019 15:01:01 +0000 https://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/r4i-sdch-savfile-not-founded-error-message.713522/ https://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/r4i-sdch-savfile-not-founded-error-message.713522/ invalid@example.com (barondvh) barondvh
R4i SDCH arrived today and when put into my DSi (Software Version 1.3E)I get the following problem:

I put it in, click on "R4 Start", then click on "Games", a list of games come up, I then click on one and it comes up with "Create Save File" and then says "Savfile not founded!" Please reset system" and it then locks up the DSi and I then have to reboot it.

Can anyone help me fix this, its my 6 year olds christmas present and im at my wits end.

Many thanks

I am relatively new to flash carts, I had an old Acekard 2i for my DS but have recently been looking into getting a flashcart for my 3DS XL. I am mainly looking for emulation support, I don't mind if it can play 3DS backups and roms too but emulation is the main thing for me.
I have heard good things about Sky3ds I think it was called but this seems like it is mainly used for 3DS roms.

Is there a cart out there that can run emulators? Mainly DS and GBA. Also do you...
