hey, i'm new to the R4 card and i have some problems. I didn't got the cd so i downloaded the kernel from the site. If i put the R4 with the 2GB microSD in my DS, it says that there isn't a DS card in my DS... does somebody know what i need to do?
You first need the required files in your microSD card- http://r4ds.cn/download/r4_v1.18_kernel.html Download that and insert all of the files into your microSD card.
If its not showing anything at all, it sounds like it is not making connection in the DS slot, remove it and clean the cards contacts, reinset a few times and turn on, if still no joy put a thin piece of paper beteen the cartridge and the back of the ds, to try and push the card forward onto the pins (a till receipt folded 3 or 4 times usually does the trick
