R4DS - R4 Revolution for DS (Nintendo DS Lite blank cartridge!)
We've recently stumbled upon this slick doo-hicky called the R4 Revolution for Nintendo DS/Lite. The R4DS is basically a blank cartridge for the Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite. The R4 uses any microSD flash memory card (up to 4GB according to the official site, but 2GB is recommended, does not support microSDHC)
for storage. This means you can put music, videos and ROMs onto the microSD, plug it into the R4 and play them on your Nintendo DS! There are NES, SNES, TurboGrafx16, Genesis (and many more) emulators available for the Nintendo DS. You could possibly walk around with all of your favorite console games from the past 2 decades on your Nintendo DS!
UPDATE: There's been a lot of changes since this blog entry was published on 01/20/08. The orginal R4 is still for sale, but a few clones have popped up on the scene that supports the bigger microSD card like the 4GB, 8GB and 32GB microSDHC! With a 32GB microSD, you'll be able to carry around the last few decades worth of games on 1 cartridge. Note: all the cards listed below uses different software. To find the software for your specific R4 card, check the links @ the bottom of the vendor's page after you click on one of the R4 links below. Here are the different types of R4 cards:

r4 sdch
I have a DS Lite and I have the regular r4 for ds, but i am wanting to upgrade to the r4 sdch so i can use a bigger memory card *just 4gb*. In the info/features it states No need to flash. Built-in launch Slot-2 (gba) function. Does that mean it is a bigger card and it wont fit into slot 1 like the regular r4? Is there another type that is better recommended?

R4 SDHC Upgrade Revolution for DS
dummy question... please advise... is there any way to play an R4 SDHC Upgrade Revolution for DS on a DSi???
Couldn't find -DS-MENU.DAT
my dad has an r4 card for his ds in which he uses a nokia micro sd card,when I put my kingston micro sd card into his r4 it just says "couldn't find -DS-MENU.DAT. Help please???
On your dads card, he prob
On your dads card, he prob has the menu file loaded/saved and on yours you do not. If he has the files from his card saved on his computer all you have to do is hook your card up with micro sd flash drive into usb and when your files come up, drag his files ds.menu.dat and ds.menu.sys and if it is moonshell, also drag ds.mshl.nds file . if not, you will need to copy his files with the sd flash, insert his memory card into it and hook into the usb on your computer. save all files from sd card to computer. then take out his card and insert yours. when your file comes up, drag the ds.menu.dat and ds.menu.sys and if it is moonshell, also drag ds.mshl.nds file. that should take care of it
DSi
will it work on a DSi?
re: will it work on a DSi?
The original R4 will not work on a DSi. The R4i Red will work on the DSi (even v1.4) and DS Lite. Checkout the guide:

R4DS card stop working when I added new files
We got two R4-DS cards (I think the original with 2Gb) and my kids used to play with old DSs and regularly added files to their R4-cards. Recently, we got a new DS-Lite. Both R4-cards were working with the DS-Lite (when remained unmodified). But today, I added new game files on one R4-card (didn't touch the system files), and it completely stopped working. I get the message "Couldn't not find the SD/TF card" in the DS-Lite (and it doesn't work in the old DS anymore). Yet, the other unmodified R4-card still work in both DSs (old and Lite). I tried to put the english 1.18 firmware (we had a french version???)
What could I do to have the R4-card working back to normal?
my r4 works fine i recently
my r4 works fine i recently put zelda spirit tracks onto it and it plays but now when i plug my r4 into the computer via micro sdhc adapter it wont show up in my computer or anywhere in my pc. could some please respond as i want to put more games on dont tell me to format because i cant it wont show up in my computer anymore. it just stopped working the other day.
deleting games off r4 by mistake
hi my child is only 3 and keeps deleting her games off her r4 card by pressing x whilst it is in the ds,,is there a way i can block her from doing this by mistake, Is there soemthing i can do to stop them deleting whilst pressing x on games menu
thanks
wow, you are stupid your kid
wow, you are stupid
your kid is three year old. most games are recommended for children over the age of 6, which is the E for Everyone rating.
plus, you are pirating games. you are already teaching your kid at an early age that pirating/stealing is okay.
you are a bad parent
DS 3yr old?
Simple solution, don't give a $130 DS to a 3 year old, give them some blocks, they are cheaper. And if your child isn't able to comprehend not pushing a button that deletes the games, or even that you tell them not too, or the fact that they can't read kinda is a sign that maybe its too advanced for them.
Be a better parent and load
Be a better parent and load the game up for the three year old. Communication is key.

"R4 SDHC UPGRADE Revolution for DS" for my DS lite

thank you
"R4 SDHC UPGRADE Revolution for DS" for my DS lite
You need to download the Menu and also put it on the card. There should be a website on the box that the card came in. Got to that site and download the menu. You'll need to extract it. I used 7Zip to extract because WinZip didn't seem to handle the format. Extract and copy the files and folders to your card and it should work.
Hellp!
I used to have an R4 for more than 2 years and I never had any problems with it untill my cousin broke it so I bought a new one. I've tried and done everything I've done for my old R4 but when I open my ds it just goes *LOADING* and even if I leave it for an hour it still wont work. I don't know what's wrong with it. I also knew how to put pictures and music in my old R4 but I don't know what I've done wrong with my new one. *My R4 isn't fake* I've also just bought an 8GB micro sd card but the biggest sd card I've ever had was a 2GB micro sd card.
Is that the problem?
Does anyone know why my R4 is not opening?
Thans in advance.
possibly your system does
possibly your system does not fit to your new r4... you can down load them by going to the r4 site indicated in your r4 cartrage...
Hellp!
You need to download the new Menu for this card. The old menu will not work. There should be a website on the box that the card came with. Go to that site and download the menu. You'll need to extract. I used 7Zip because WinZip couldn't handle the format. Extract and copy the files and folders to the card. Should work then.

dsi errer
hi, today i bought a r4 ds ultra that is preloaded with games. when i inserted the r4 the icon was there at the dsi menu, but when i click it,is says that
"an error has occured. press &hold the power button to turn the system off pls see the nintendo dsi operations manual for help trouble shooting"
ive already tried what the manual says which is 2 turn the dsi off and wait 4 awhile then turn it back on to try again.they also say that if the prob. persists call the nintendo hotline.im just wondering is there a way to fix this thing without needing me to call them. is it because of the version of the dsi? my version is 1.4u.pls help me!
if you bought you card
if you bought you card before august 3rd then you should fimnd an update to get working,if not then cheack for the latest firmware
can not delete folder
i noticed my r4 was not working so i plug it into my computer and i saw these random folder and icons the icon name was random shapes and they will not delete. now my r4 will get to the menu i will click the game icon and then it freezes and it does not show any games nor any menu options like the cheates or anything .
the last thing is that my moonshel is gone and some of options. did the random folders infect the other ones???????
does any body suggest anything????
dsi wont save r4 games after playing it
Hi, we brought a r4 card for my daughters dsi, if we play a game then go to anothe it wont save the game we played before, is there anyway of fixing this. Thanks
Games won't save
Hello,
From what I've researched of your problem, the most likely culprit is an outdated "firmware"version. Use the link posted above and download version 1.18. (Make sure you delete the old version off the micro SD card before you copy the new one over to it). I believe the older firmware just isn't compatible with some of the newer games your using. Good Luck

r4ds with sd card files missing
I have bought an r4 revolution with a 4 gig sd card. i have loaded all my games onto it and it works great. I have put the correct software also. So that is fine.
When i turn on the ds lite and all the games are listed in top screen, in the bottom screen it tells you the name of the game highlighted, and below that it shows 2 grey boxes the left box says setup x the right box says cheat y.
If i press the setup x in the left box after doing so next time i switch the ds lite on it just hangs. So if i take the 4 gig sd card and look on my computer it shows as empty, yet it is full. So i formatted the card reinstalled software and games and all is good again. But i need to know why this happened incase the kids press the setup x box again.
Can anyone tell me why this happens and how to stop it happening again. Thank you for your time.

Crushed R4 (not exactly it has the same shape)

R4 - SDHC, 2gb, INSERT DISC INTO DRIVE F - AND - the "? MENU"
Right, I have two problems with my R4.
I have the 2gb one, and my DS is the original Pink one (which, from what i've heard, doesnt work with R4's).
So i put it in the USB stick thing that came with the R4-SDHC, and my computer says "Please insert disc into Drive F".
MY R4 DIDNT COME WITH A DISC.
People keep saying to download Kernel 1.18.
I've done that.
WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO EXTRACT IT TO IF THE THING DOESN'T WORK??
My second problem.
When I put it into the cart, and into the DS. i get the "? Menu" screen. And it won't go any further.
Is this because I can't put games on it? I don't know.
So yeah, it don't work in my PC or DS.
Made in Korea? Yep, never buying anything made in Korea ever again.
So if you can help me, thanks.
I have exactly the same R4,
I have exactly the same R4, the [menu?] screen is because you don't have the menu installed on there yet - without the kernel it's just an empty SD card in the cartridge after all.
The only thing I can think of is that you get a new SD card or reader - which ever one is causing the problem.
As soon as you can get the kernel on there, it works fine I promise.
sdhc card 4gb corrupt

Game Loading Screen
hello (:
so i've set up my r4ds and everything. i've downloaded pokemon platinum onto my r4 card, but when i try to play it, the game loading thing stops after loading a little bit. it looks like it's frozen or something? well, is it the rom's fault or the actual r4?

Yeah, i have the exact same
Yeah, i have the exact same problem with mine. It just will get stuck right after i turn it on with the "menu?" subtitles
The ? Menu Error
I had the same problem o the same upgrade card. I am using a Mac and have a smaller Micro MD Card (less then 1 g) I think it was a formatting problem. I fix the problem by going to Fry"s Electronic Store and bought a 8G Card for $17.99. Came home added the new software and now it works. If you need help let me know
format with a pc. Mac add
format with a pc. Mac add some strange hidden file system such .trash even on my pen drive. i hate Mac. easy? sure! powerfull? certainly not when it comes into multi platform. Thumbs up for Linux anyway.
my save won't load anymore. why is that?
i beat mega man starforce 3 yesterday, so then i decided to play pokemon platinum for the first time. it ask me to create save data for it, so i did. after saving in pokemon, i went back to mega man, but all that came up was new game. can anyone tell me what's wrong? i look at my save and it's still there. is there some way to get it to recognize or recover it? i found this website on a whim, so please send me your reply by email

LOADING SCREEN FREEZE

its not that simple as i
its not that simple as i found out, apparantly the ds won't read some files when they're in folders so try copy/paste the files out of the folders but what i did was first format your mini sd card ( u need a usb adapter or sd adapter ) that means wipe it clean and then u gotta download some software to make it work, I figured it out with the help of you tube, put in, set up r4 card and there is an ultimate beginners guide on there which worked for me, good luck x

Anyone have a solution?
Please? lol :]
HELP with R4
My daughter bought some games (from Ebay) for her DSI and the people sent the games on a R4 card with a 2gig micro SD card. When we put this into her DSI it says there is no game in the slot. Is there a driver or something that we need for this to work?? If not how do I get this to work for her??
Thanks (in advance) for your help.

The R4 will not work with your DSi. You will need a DSi compatible flash card. Here are the latest flash cards for the DSi:

Deleting things by mistake
Hey, I accedentally deleted something on my R4DS by accedent, and now it wont even show the menu when you want to play it on your DS. Now it wont run at all.
Does any one have a site or any help so i could recover those lost files, or get new ones? Your help would be gratley appreciated, as my R4 has been giving me alot of trouble recently.
R4 Websites
The website you want depends on the cartridge
Usually, for R4 Revolution (non-SDHC) - www.r4ds.com
and for R4 Ultra (SDHC) and R4i (DSi) - www.r4ultra.com
Once there, go to downloads and get the latest 'kernel' version for your language.
Unzip it and copy the 2 files and the 2 folders to your SD card.
Should be job done!
r4ds
it depends on what kind of r4 you have.
if you have r4ds it should say http://www.r4ds.com at the bottom of your r4 or nothing on it but if its r4 ultra it will say http://www.r4ultra.com. so if its r4ds you should go here to download:
http://www.r4ds.cn/download/r4ds.html
(copy and go and select language you want)
if its r4ultra go here to download:
http://www.r4ds-ds.com/pages/R4i-&-R4-Ultra-Kernel.html
(same as r4)

what are you talking about?
what are you talking about? I've had the r4 for 3 years and i've only updated it twice. 1.18 is working with every rom i've tried. including new games. the newest on my r4 with 1.18 is suikoden tierkreis and I did not need to update to play it, nor did I need to patch.
games don't work on new R4
We bought a new R4-SDHC Upgrade Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS), and loaded games onto it, but when we play it on our new DS Lite, it just comes up with an error message "Menu?" - apparently it can't read/process the files. The games work fine on an older DS. Any ideas what the issue is and what we need to do in order to make these games work on the new DS Lite?
Hello, I purchased the r4
Hello,
I purchased the r4 about a month ago, and I have been playing many games with it, but it seems that some games doesn't work on my ds(I have the old version). For some games, I'm able to make a SAV file and then proceed to play the game, where the screen just turns white or black and the game does not load. For some other games, I was able to play for several days, and then all of a sudden the same thing happened and the game never loaded.....why is this happening for only some games?? and is does anyone know any way to fix this problem? Thank you for your help!!
Problems With Freezing Loading Screen Solved
When i received this R4 card it came with no software although i saw some websites with the driver included. I tried to cut corners by watching the youtube videos and downloading the latest kernel such as 1.18 since it had the latest updated date. What this created was alot of frustrating downloads and deletions of several kernels after that to no avail......the same freezing loading screen would appear. Then i googled word by word the name of the R4 card and typed R4 UPGRADE REVOLUTION FOR DS NDSL/NDS... and i a file R4-III v3.10 kernel appeared as the first choice and boy did i feel stupid when all my problems were solved then. Hope this helps someone.......not all of us know there are many types of R4 cards etc.....Good Luck
loading screen freeze...
i do not see a v3.10 kernel for english. is htat how it is? my ds lite freezes when i insert the card with 1.18 kernel
thanks for your help
how to delete !2╦:£▀pt.ƒq?
hi, i bought my r4 the other day and loaded pokemon platinum to my 2 gb micro sd card. it asked if i wanted to create a .SAV file, so i did. the game was working, so i turned it off and switched it back on again. instead of the platinum .nds file i had all these files with weird symbols like ╟6╞u╟5┬.¡╫÷ and they take up 41.3 gb on my card. i want to delete them but it says Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.
does anyone know how to delete this and why this happened???
thanks for your help!
hi this happened to me, and
hi
this happened to me, and my dad fixed it.
er, its something to do with the fact that the file is unknown by any software u have so it cannot delete it. i think my dad downloaded sumthin off the internet that idetified it, or converted it into something else, hope this helps slightly...(you will have to reload pokemon back on again, as your othr 1 went corrupt)
hope i helped u a bit

Hi i recently purchased a couple of r4, and gave them to my nieces as presents. when last went to see them they told me that they had deleted the files by mistake by pressing X or something which then gave them option to delete. so i've gotta reload them up again i'm just wondering is there any way that i can disable the delete mode whilst on the menu?

Hi there.
I also accidently deleted all the files on my r4, including all the files that come with it to actually run it.
Do you have any idea how to get those files back? is there a site to download them from or anything?
Please help, I can't use my r4 without those files.
Many thanks
hi i downloaded update
hi i downloaded update 1.19u, yes i know it was unofficial and i was using it at my own risk. it works fine, but i wanted to put the old version 1.18 back on (i backed up all my data before doing this btw). so when i put my memory card into the usb reader and plugged it into my mac, its not showing up. my drive is not showing up at all. i tried it on my other mac as well with the same result. the memory card still works in my r4, but unless i can get it to work again i wont be able to put new games on there, let alone switching the software back. does anyone know what i might be able to do to fix this? thank you!
R4 SDHC
Hi got a R4SDHC download the files, extracted & placed them on the Mico card, then place it in the holder & insert to the DS, booted up started load, then the top screen flickered and only half the screen shows at the start up, back page colours with vertical thin lines flashing,
on the bot screen shows all the menus,
then comes up with error message, error when trying to access disc or file, then back to main menu.
but the top screen is all thin line,
when put DS game slot1 the top screen is the same, all thin line, but all the menus are ok on the bot screen

I thank u all

loading......
Hi, I see your comment about solving your "LOADING..." issue. I have a R4 card for my son that works perfectly fine so I purchased 4 more cards (from a different website) for my daughter and friends and none of them works. I get the Loading issue on all of them. Card almost seems thinner and like it's not making a connection with the DS! That might sound crazy. Curious, what did you do to fix your problem.
Thanks
I dont know what to do
sometimes i download certain games and when i open them to play them i cant, while some others i downloaded that same day can be played.....do i need to update my card or game.

computer not reading micro sd
I just got my r4 from a friend and I was able to access the micro sd on my school's computer with no problem, but when I got home, it doesn't work on my own computer. It is able to read the USB reader but not the micro sd. When I click on it, it prompts "Please insert disk into drive E/:". I would like to know if there is anyway around this issue. Could someone please help me?
microSD or microSDHC?
What kind of SD card is it? a 2gb or bigger? If it's bigger than your home reader might not be able to ready microSDHC cards.
Problems with R4-III Upgrade SDHC
Hi all,
I got an R4 card for my birthday and because my list of games was a mile and a half long my mum bought me the 4gig.
However, I am having alot of trouble with it.
It started off working fine, i uploaded my games and got moonshl and all that. Easy. I was playing it that evenin and restarted my DS lite to play another game, it got stuck and just says loading... when ever i click to play a game.
Then i attemped to clear the card to start over completely and see if that worked. It made my computer freeze, and the Removable disc folder goes to unresponding everytime i plug it in and try to move or delete an item.
As if that wasnt bad enough, I tried it about 20 minutes ago and now my DS lite wont play the card at all. It just goes to the main DS screen and where it shows what game is in the back it says 'No DS card inserted'.
Is there something i could be doing wrong??
Any help would be great!
r4
hi
have u tried re formatting the sd card...plug it in to pc...my computer...highlight removable drive ...right click...format...wait till its done...then start all ova again with software and games on sd card...hope this helps :)
This is ONLY for the R4-III Upgrade SDHC
Have you tried this firmware?
http://www.wiilovemario.com/download/R4DS/R4-III-Upgrade-Card/r4-softwar...
When you unzip it, you'll see the following directory:
+ English_Version3.07
+ R4_eng
Copy all of the files from R4_eng and put it on your R4, they will include the following files and directories:
+ MoonShell
+ mypicture
+ R4
r4.dat
All of those files should be in the root directory of your R4.
help
HOw do you get to the root directory...I know that sounds silly, but I have just been sending the files to the card and it is stuck on loading when I try and turn it on...
Try a different firmware
Try a different firmware version for the revolution

new games from Jul 08 onwards don't work on R4
Hope someone can help. i've just downloaded GTA chinatown wars to my R4 card but when loading i get a save file cannot be read message and get asked to turn the DS off. i've downloaded numerous roms from the same website that have worked fine, however, GTA and Proffessor Leyton's (relatively new games) don't appear to work.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Much Frustration - now working!
All the advice you need appears above. My son and I have had a very frustrating morning trying to get rid of the "stuck on Loading..." problem. After originally trying the 1.18 kernel upgrade we then read our box which has the URL for an R4 SDHC. We then tried the 1.25 kernel for this version of the R4 but still to no avail. We then actually looked on the chip itself and although the box says R4 SDHC we have the R4 Deluxe. We downloaded the 1.20 kernel from the links above in the post by Nick and now all is well.
The trick for us - as a few have already stated above - was to find which version of the R4 we actually had and then download an appropriate kernel. Good luck!
"Loading.." solution - simple
Had loading.. problem for days but read and tried a bunch of stuff from this forum.
Thanks to Nick's "FINALLY!" post (recap below)
ok here it is:
1. Download and unpack this. http://rapidshare.com/files/189886260/English-1.20.rar
2. copy files to your SD card
2. Works!
(I have R4 SDHC (with "new" on the box). Used a 2 gig SD micro)
R4 Revolution sav game not working with r4 Ultra
Hi,
Hope someone can help. I have a distressed kid.
I updated him from a R4 Revolution card with 2 Gb SD to a R4 Ultra with 4Gb SDHC but when I copied his sav files over they dont work and the R4Ultra creates a new sav file.
Does anyone know if they are compatible? or if you can convert them?
Thanks
