    Right then im new to this forum folks.I am stuck!! My daughter has an already formated R4 card . Now i received a disk from a friend with more games on it. How do i ie keep the games on the original card and store them and then load up and transfer the new ones. It originaly came in the R4 box but with no disk. i have the usb and micro card. i think i have downloaded the Win rar from the R4 website but its a bit complicated for me !! any help will be appreciated .

    All you have to do is copy the files from the disk you received to the MicroSD card. It should work fine.

    Just copy them onto the PC first. I do that with all my games anyway, you should always keep a copy of them all, it saves worrying about 'booboo' moments, and memory cards do fail sometimes after all :)

    right what about the games on the disk ? when the disk is put in it opens all the games in a column and you can see each game.there is a little book symbol next to each game. ? It asks what format i want to import and it comes up with 2 errors.the only option it gives me is to import to windows contacts? then choice of 5 formats ? think something is wrong somewhere

    If you don't know how to copy files in Windows you need to find a tutorial and learn how to do that first, otherwise you're never going to be able to move games in and out of your R4.

    Erm, you need to re-read mine and dailun's last replies.. it's just basic Windows copy/paste or cut/paste...
