    hi all
    if anyones interested ive just purchased a r4 card from the people that advertise them for £16 in this thread - www.cleverbase.co.uk .
    when you click their link the price is actually now £16.99(when i clicked the £16 link last sunday it only charged me £15 so i think the price fluctuates)p+p to uk is £5.
    before ordering i enlarged the photo to make sure it was not a r4sdhc card i discovered the box was for a r4 mk2 japanese version, however when it arrived (5 days) it was a standard r4 and a kingston 2gb micro sd,(albeit with no software cd as advertised)
    10 minutes to install software i already had and chuck a few games on, and card was up and away with no hassle, no sd formatting, no grief trying out different software versions as with sdhc. etc etc

    Would not advise anyone to buy from Cleverbase. I ordered an R4DS card on 14th Jan and they only sent it yesterday after I escalated my Paypal dispute to a full blown claim. From a websearch other people seem to be having problems as well - both currently and over the past 12 months.

    My card came unsealed and the CD was missing, which personally I'm not happy with as the product was sold as containing this and on the basis that it was in stock for dispatch for next day delivery.

    So in summary...buyer beware!

    Hi

    I have a R4 SDHC card which i bought from memorybits, the box it arrived in says it's from http://www.r4sdhc.com

    I downloaded the software as recommended by memorybits and it doesn't work, I am quite new to this so don't know if i have done something wrong.

    I have read through the whole of this forum and tried most of the links but still no joy.

    Any help would be much appreciated - *** I have now contacted memorybits and they have agreed to give me a refund as they said the card is faulty, could anyone recommend where i can get one from that shoudl work***

    Try something else - the R4 is always going to be a problem, there are 10 different versions all with dedicated software. Try an M3 Real, I use this without any issues.

    Whatever card you get all the firmware is hosted on one site - see my signature for details.

    Hi all,
    Don't know if this is any use to anyone but I was also having problems getting the R4 sdhc working (stuck on loading screen) and noticed I wasn't alone! I tried all the advice I saw on a few pages of this thread (tried all the firmwares from 1.18 to 1.25 with no luck at all. The way I got it working was to install firmware version 1.52 for what I think may be the R4 ultra card. Here is the link to a place I found the files online at:
    http://download.chipper.se/index.php?dir=Nintendo_DS/R4_Ultra/&file=English.1.52_RP.rar
    And if thats not the right one the folder I have on my machine is called English.1.52_RP so I'm asuming thats it.
    If nothing else its worth a try!

    I also have a m3simply card and for the record, its a lot easier.

    Oh PS,
    I also tried to put the games in a folder called games in the root directry and it wouldn't run (stuck on loading screen again) so I had to put the games straight into the root directory.

    Good Luck!

    Hi All,
    Has the same problem and this helped me.
    I have 4g card and I was getting stuck on th loading screen.
    Go to http://www.yall.net/.
    Download the R4-III v3.08 kernel (English) 3.08.
    Thats all I did and it works fine, I beleive anything over 2g requires this softeware.
    Put this on to the Micro SD card and you should be right.
    Hope this helps

    The Number one issue with the R4 sdhc is it will not work properly if formatted with VISTA, screws up all over the place and will read old data on the card. I have 2 r4sdhc with 8 gig micro sd.

    This is what I did to fix both that kept screwing up.

    Here is how you fix your r4 sdhc


    Goto http://linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/ and download the firmware 1.24 not 25, format the card using this tool http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html because windows messes it up.

    Load the contents of the zip onto the micro SDHC and create a folder called games and you are good to go.

    i just followed these instructions and it worked perfect no more loading screen

    put in the memory cards in to the computer and format the memory cards you must format them if you do not know how to format just google format memory card and it will show u very easy then.

    you must go to

    http://r4-new.com/download-en.htm and you must download the "R4 SDHC NEW V1.5 kernel"

    you must use this software and get from the website above and everything should be fine

    bought it from www.consolemodz.com only took 3 days delivery sweet
