    Please if someone can help with this I will be able to stop pulling my hair out!!
    I purchased 2 R4i from snipe a deal. I have 2 kingston Micro SD to go with it.

    I have a DSi XL.

    I have tried lots of things to get this R4 working but always end up with a LOADING screen which I have learnt means I have the wrong firmware.

    on the box it has a web page which ends in .cn I have downloaded the kernels from there, it was kernel 1.55the from r4i cn

    I now get past the loading screen and get a black screen with the following message

    I never heard of this flashcart . According the information from their official site , it may not work with NDSi XL.
    And I googled this cart with some professional forums , no body mentioned it ...
    Since you have tried the latest firmware , I would suggest you purchase the Acekard 2i that works on NDSi XL .

    Not to pile on, but $65?!?!?!?!?!?!

    2 Acekards with 8GB uSD don't cost that much!

    Holy f**k me! I looked at their prices! Unless you live in Timbuktu and they're the only place that will ship to you, IMHO you got ripped off!

    My suggestion. E-mail them to verify 1)Whether or not the cards you bought will work with a DSiXL and make THEM help you get them running.

    Among their testimonials it says that they have good tech support.

    I bought them from www.snipeadeal.com.au, $32.95 each Aust. I know now I realize I've been ripped off. I bought one yesterday for $16.50 and it works great. but as what to do with the other 2 dud's???? I emailed snipeadeal and they said send them back with my own SD cards to be checked and they will have a look? BUT if they find they are not faulty they will charge me a service fee???? they then said they can have the software put on so it's ready also for a FEE! I'm sure they will just say they are fine even if they are faulty and try and get more money out of me. :( so annoyed I wish I knew what firmware to put on it.

    First, my apologies. Didn't realize that you (and they are in Australia). Still, accoring to today's exchange rate 8/5/2010
    1 USD = 1.09AUD = 1.36NZD. Pricing's still a little out of whack.

    But I digress.

    "I emailed snipeadeal and they said send them back with my own SD cards to be checked and they will have a look? BUT if they find they are not faulty they will charge me a service fee????"

    Don't know, ask them. They should tell you up front.

    "they then said they can have the software put on so it's ready also for a FEE!"

    If the fee isn't too much have them do one. When you get it back, figure out which software they used and do the other one yourself.

    Thanks for your tip, I think that is my best option to send one of them back etc.

    Thanks
