    Hi .
    I have purchased the r4i v1.4 with a 4gb flash card for my daughters dsi console.
    It matched the console version.

    I cannot get it to opperate.
    Have followed preceedure but I think Iv'e missed the train.
    Have installed lots of software in desperation.
    Initially, I installed the 'kernel' files and 'moonshell'on asumption they were correct.
    At one point the console showed the r4 logo, but thats it, no sign of executing what I had on it.
    What I actually have is, based on my packaging...r4i in red.
    dsill followed by v1.4 in a sun sticker.
    Under that it reads: R4 DSILL 'UPGRADE'.
    REVOLUTION FOR DS (DSILL/NDSI)NDSL/NDS.
    It's a blue box somewhat bigger than a packet of cigs.(new packaging I think)
    I would appreciate some serious sorting...and hopeing it's not a 'dupe'
    Many thanks if someone can help.

    The general rules to eliminate most issues are,

    1) Format your micro SD with Panasonics SD formatter (free use Google to find) and use it each time you change the firmware.

    2) Download your firmware and extract it straight on to the SD (not onto the PC then transfer)

    3) Try the available firmware's - http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/ hosts them all, start with the likely candidates and work your way through

    4) Ensure the SD card is seated correctly in the R4 before putting into the DS.

    5) If the card is not seen by the DS try the paper shim trick - if the contacts to the DS are not good enough then the unit can not draw enough power to run. Put a piece of folded paper or thin card between the DS and the cartridge to push the contacts together

    6) Unless it specifically says - the unit can take up to 2GB micro SD's, if it says SDHC then it can take up to 32GB

    7) Ensure the clock is correctly set on the DS - this upsets some R4's

    8) At the firmware stage do not put any roms on, get it past the loading issue first. Once past the loading issue put 1 known good rom on and see if you can get it to run (some firmwares will boot on other cards but will not run a rom)

    Good Luck
