There are so many versions of the R4. You need the software for your particular version. Good luck figuring out which one you need (I do not mean that sarcastically either)Last I read there were about 10-12 different versions? Maybe someone else can chime in that knows how to tell which version software you need for your particular R4.
There are 38 different types of R4. The site in my signature hosts them all. The general rules are 1) Format your micro SD with Panasonics SD formatter (free use Google to find) and use it each time you change the firmware. 2) Download your firmware and extract it straight on to the SD (not onto the PC then transfer) 3) Try the available firmware's - http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/ hosts them all, start with the likely candidates and work your way through 4) Ensure the SD is seated correctly in the R4 before putting into the DS 5) At this stage do not add any roms - get it past the loading screen first. 6) Unless it specifically says - the unit can take up to 2GB micro SD's, if it says SDHC then it can take up to 16GB (currently the highest available) 7) Make sure the clock on you DS is set correctly. If all else fails go to www.gbatemp.net, enter their forums, R4. There is a sticky on how to get YSMenu (a different operating firmware, that works on all R4's) working
