NDSL R4 SDHC 2GB/4GB Loading Screen (**NO Email posting or banned**)

did you make a file called "Games". to put all your games in? if they gave you the disc will the firmware on it then it's not the firmware thats the issue i wouldn't think. the other thing is my r4 sdhc says that it can use cards from 2gig to 32gig. so maybe you do need another card. try one more thing for me. format your card using windows, and format it to a fat, or a fat16. try FAT first. cuz someone told me that with the sdhc cards i have to have my card formatted a FAT32. so maybe since your card isn't sdhc it has to be FAT or FAT16. i'm not sure i'm just giving suggestions. if you used the panasonic formatter it formats in fat32 only i think, i didn't see anyother formats when i used it. also try just loading the firmware and no games and see if it passes the loading screen. keep me posted, i'll be online all night.....lol happy new years

 

i will try this tomo! its making my eyes go all funny, haha! but thanks for trying to help me outm i'll update u again tomo hun! happy new year to you also!! x

 

Hi all, hope you all had a Great DS Newy Year.

I see that CutieKW is having trouble with her system trying to get it running.
Running with a 128mb disc will not give you much space to load games.
Usually the software you have to load to get the R4 working takes up approx 15-20mb.
Depending on what Games you load will reduce the memory on the Disc.

Most operators use a 1gb disc, ensuring they can get more games on the card.
2gb is the best one to use, running higher gb's I have checked it does cause some errors but not on all DS consoles.
DS consoles come with different settings inside (not all DS or DS Lite are the same). It does takes some pain finding the right software but they are out there and do work.
I have most of the software that has ben checked and works.

I have also now aquired sotware for Games (yes new ones are coming out that the R4 will not read) that show up cannot read the 'Save' or will not auto' Save'.
If anyone has this problem, let me know and ill set it up for you.

Going back to CutieKW, if you get back in touch with me, I will go through the system with you and hopefully get it sorted.

Hope you all enjoy the DS buzz.

Hi guys,
I really really need some help, very frustrated. Got an R4 this morning and after putting the software on etc i just got stuck at the loading screen. i have tried everything, including downloading all the different firmwares and using the panasonic formatter.
Is it possibly a faulty R4? I got it from model gadget.... : (

 

on the r4 box it came in is there a website where you could download the firmware from or is there a disc in the box with the firmware on it ?

have you tried here for the many different versions of firmware - http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/

you could try here - http://wiki.scorpei.com/index.php/R4_compatibility_list also for a custom r4ds firmware v1.19u created with ysmenu - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CLVRA5ZZ

when trying different r4ds firmware on your memory card make sure you delete the old before putting on the new .

iff you still have probs then let me know , woof811.

 

wersite is www.r4sdhc.com, but tried all the downloads on that and nothing.
just a though - i have a r4 sdhc card, but it came with a 'Lexar 2GB Micro SD'. i have just seen on another website that you can get a Micro SDHC card - is this what i should be using or doesn't it matter? I have ordered another r4 in case mine was faulty or something, but really dont want to spend any more money : (

 

it will not matter if you use a normal micro sd memory ( 1 or 2 gb )card or a micro sdhc memory ( 4 gb upwards ) card they will both work the same .

its a pity you have ordered another r4ds as i wouldnt have recommended any r4ds version.

dont get me wrong the original r4ds was good but they dont make them anymore and they havent had any updates for quite a while , a lot of manufacturers have jumped on the band wagon and started to make fakes , copies or clones of the r4ds and people are having nothing but trouble with them loading errors and so on.........

i will however recommend to anyone thinking of buying a nds flashcart a cyclo ds , edge ds , m3ds real , supercard sd one or acekard , these are well supported with frequent firmware updates , very solidly made and support sdhc memory .

ok so i'm seriously thinking of buying a cyclo ds now - would you recommend this i.e. is it easy to set up and download games?!? also, the one i have found is £40 - can u get them cheaper than this?
hopefully will be able to sell my 2 R4's on ebay?

 

cyclo ds are the most expensive and prob the best and also very easy to set up .

ps. where are buying from ?

cyclo ds homepage with a handy forum - http://www.cyclopsds.com/cgi-bin/cyclods/engine.pl?page=news

 

Found one on consoleup.com - £29.99 as don't need a micro card or usb with it.

 

never bought from there mate so dont know how good or bad the website is .

bought from here though in the uk - http://www.addictsupplies.com/index.php ( 1 - 2 days delivery royal mail first class )

worldwide here - http://www.dealextreme.com/products.dx/category.604
( 2 weeks from hong kong )

Managed to get my R4 SDHC working yesterday after huuuuuuuge help from Puggwash - thank you so much : )

 

Hey shawkes23 was it the r4 from model gadget that you got working ? I bought mine from there (well klickstore but its the same as far as I'm aware) and the little sticker on the box says to go to the same place. Let me know what kernel you tried please, would be much appreciated.

 

Brownale,

shawkes23 used one I sent to her which happily sorted out the R4 set up.
If you need assistance, send me a private message along with your email and ill send it to you.
