    Thanks Grant26 .

    I re-downloaded the English file (V1.08b) even though this is same as I already have on the SD card. As suspected the same error occured i.e. games menu locked and multimedia error.

    Additionally, I advance formatted the 8gb micro SD with Panasonics SD formatter, and downloaded the firmware to extract straight on to the SD.I even tried loading just one games ROM in the hope it may be a ROM that is causing the problem - however still the same problem !!

    I am really at a loss what to try next. Has anybody had the same problem and managed to find a solution??

    Thanks in advance ...

    I get a similar problem on a friends ds lite which i offered to get going. Arrow keys until the game menu then it locks up. I am using a R4-SDHC Upgrade revolution in a ds lite.

    I tried my dsi sdhc which works on my dsi and get the same problem that the cartridge loads but the games menu freezes.

    The ds lite is green and starts with UE

    Hi everybody,
    I have the same problem you were talking before. I buy a R4sdhc upgrade and i have dowloaded the latest software updated but when I turn on my ds Lite and i go in to games folder all freeze. If i try from multimedia menù to load a game, the result is an error: "Application halted !!Please refer [/moonshl2/logbuf.txt]". Thanks a lot!

    Hi, all!!!
    I don´t have the loading screen problem anymore but I have another problem. When I try to load a game, it starts to create a save file then all of a sudden says "savfile not founded, please reset system". I can see the save file created in the "Games" directory but none of the games run.
    Does anyone knows what I have to do so this works properly? Is a firmware problem?
    I have a black DSI with an R4I-SDHC Upgrade (Revolution for DS) (the one that cames with a red box). I have a 4GB Lexar micro sd card (it cames with the R4I card).

    Thanks in advance.

    Fumanchu8,

    There is now running in Nintendo games some software issues that do not allow you to save the games or even run them. As you have encountered by having the message 'savefile' not found.

    I have a software that will allow you to re-jig your downloaded game and play, also create a save file.
    As the file is bigger than the normal size any email allows to recieve, it will have to be sent via post (no cost involved apart from a Stamp. If any require this, I will set it up for you (along with guided instructions).

    Coachtop, please send me your email so I can send across the versions for your DS.

    Bailzy, I will send across to your address the bits, hopefully that you require.

    To all those who have just recently sent me messages and I have not replied, Im sorry but I am entitled to a Holiday sometime (lol). I am back so I will try to pick up where I left and to those who still need help, please contact me.

    Pugg

    Puggwash:

    First of all, thank you four your help and for the work you are doing here helping other people.
    This problem is strange because the games run nicely on the Nintendo DS of my daughter with an R4. Only got this problem in the DSI of my son. Also the R4I cames with a game in it (Super Mario 64) and in the first day this game worked properly (as I can remember). I´ll accept your offer to send me that "magic" software you have but instead of posting it, maybe it´s better for you to upload it to rapidshare or megaupload and send me the link. I don´t want to give you any trouble by making you go to a post office and loosing your time. Anyway, I´ll leave that to you.

    Thank you one more time.

    It seems Pugg is very selective in his response :-0)...

    For those that are interested I managed to work out my problem of 17/06/09 without the help of this forum. My R4 SDHC Upgrade now works fine with a 8gb Micro SD Card.

    Essentially, remove any CD/DVD burning software from your PC (i.e. Nero) as this can corrupt the image file. Then follow the instructions to the letter (e.g. format micro SD, extract files, drag and drop files to SD card etc). Please note: drag and drop one folder at a time. Personally, I do not remove Nero I just used a clean laptop for the transfer - and it worked fine .... If you still have a problem, your kit is knackered and should be returned to the supplier ...

    Hope this helps ...

    *** edit by creaky - there is absolutely NO need to remove Nero at all.. ***

    Well congratulations - and nice to see you are so complimentary.

    If I was being as complimentary I would tell you that you were a victim of your own stupidity, if you had done your homework you would never have bought an R4 and saved yourself a load of issues.

    The problem that Pugg and everyone else that tries to help has, is the number of different R4's out there - all with their own software and issues

    A recent list (there are "New" ones now)

    R4i.L.S (r4li.com)
    R4i Deluxe
    R4i Advance
    R4i Upgrade
    R4i-SDHC
    R4i Neo
    R4i (r4i.cn)
    R4i (r4ultra.com)
    Super R4i
    Hyper-R4i
    Gold R4i

    R4ds
    R4 SDHC (ndslr4.com, r4sdhc.com)
    R4 SDHC (r4new.com, r4-pro.com)
    R4 New (r4new.com)
    R4 New (r4-new.com
    R4-II (r4iids.com)
    R4-III
    R4 Upgrade
    R4 III SDHC
    R4 Advance
    R4 Deluxe
    R4 Plus
    R4 Pro
    R4 Team
    R4 Top
    R4X
    R4-V

    And there are 2 x SDHC (3 if you include the i version) both have the same name but - different software, so which one do you have?

    We all know that Pugg has a great reputation for fixing our R4 problems.

    But I'll bet a lot of money that he is a BUSY MAN! Most people have lives away from the computer and I bet that even Pugg plays the odd game now and then!

    The one thing that I have seen (over and over) is that he requests users to PM him. The reason for this is simples (meerkat) and one I use on other forums - You don't miss the message as you could in a normal thread.

    I PM'd Pugg and got a reply the same day with a zip file that sorted out my problem. I didn't need to post on the forum (although I did post a thank you message).

    I don't even need to return to this forum but I do just to see what's going on and all that. I also check out losts of the other AD forum because it's so helpful.

    The people here bend over backwards to help then some dillbert who probably wont return has a pop. Well that's the way I see it anyway.

    I wonder if Kitty will call me stupid now for admiting that I have an R4 :p

    Sean :)

    Nope - just the unappreciative.

    I stand by my belief that the R4 is now a very poor purchase, however by the nature of the product once working (if you can get it that way) you will think it is great.

    Unfortunately the R4 has become a word to mean Flashcart, hence the huge number of poor quality carts using the name. There are loads of other great carts out there but most people looking into it for the first time google "R4"

    This thread is to try and help R4 owners, those in need will hopefully be pointed in the right direction, but dont complain about a lack of instant help if you did no homework in the first place.

    Look, where did I imply I was unappreciative or disrespectful ??? The work Pugg does I could not replicate through both will or time ... I know many people like him and admire their unselfish determination to share what knowledge they have .....

    For those that misinterpreted my message, don't be so quick to judge others based on your own shortcoming and deficient etiquette protocol ... I simply had a genuine problematic issue that plenty of forum members shared but nobody within this forum (including senior members) had an answer to.

    These type of forums should highlight new issues and not simply regurgitate the 'loading error' and direct technophobic people to software that a simple google search can locate.

    Please do not respond to this posting as nothing more needs to be said ... as for calling me stupid - if you only knew !!!!

    I painstakingly worked out the problem and posted the solution so it can perhaps help others.

    As for the R4
