Hi, please can someone help me. I currently have a nintendo DS and have an R4 card. I an upgrading to a DSI and know that I have to buy a new R4 card that works in the DSI. Do I also need to buy another micro SD card or will this just slot into the new R4 card for the DSI???? hope this makes sense.....
Also does anyone know how many games you can fit on a 4GB card??
Thanks

hello i was wondering while playing a game how do you go back to the R4DS main directory to choose another game? i always have to turn off the DS and turn it back on. thanks for the answer

OK, to my understanding of this card it is a 2Gb but my computer is not recognizing it when using the card reader or the usb?
It originally had games put on it by a friend, then brought it home to put on my own games and doesn't read it.
Anyone have a solution?
Please? lol :]

How do you put new cheats on The R4 Hdsc ?

I know how to do everything to get AR cheats onto my R4 except from the stuff to do with the thing called _system_. Can someone tell me how to get this and what I need it for?

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.

I have been trying to get a background for my R4 DS Lite, so i downloaded one from www.ndsthemes.com and i put it in the _SYSTEM_ folder, which i was told to do, and i turned it on and there was no background. Can anyone help?

I'm having trouble with Yu-Gi-Oh Stardust Accelerator WC09 mostly (I'm also having the same problem as someone else on here where everything is in chinese, but it's bearable). The cheats show up and everything, just when I get in game none of them prove to be working. I'm lost! I don't know what else to do.

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?

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

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!

My R4's micro card works fine in my DS, but my card reader tells me that there's nothing inserted in drive E. However, it is clearly plugged in properly, and it is a 2 gig card. I wish to put two games on it, but my Properties says it is 100% full when is isn't.

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?
all comments much appreicated and i know that somebody as already asked this question up above but there seems to be no answer or none that i can see.

Thanks in advance

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!

The "LOADING"-screen didn´t disappear so i tried all the things u writed...then it worked XP

Thank u all soooooooooo much!!!!!

hi i deleted(by accident) the sav file of my favourite game pokemon shadows of almia and now i wanted back.is there any way to recover it?(the sav file) thanks in advance!!!

Hi hope someone can help me my twin boys are driving me crazy, they found out that action replay works on r4, the only problem is that they have r4 upgrade vlll and I have looked everywhere to find out how to install it I found it for the older r4 but not the upgrade version is there anyone on this planet that can help lol

SOS I have twin boys that r driving me nuts they have the R4 upgrade Vlll and I really don't understand how to get the cheat codes to work PLEASE can someone help me with step by step instructions I have used and tried everything and na-da thanks in advance

Is there a way of adding action replay codes to the R4ds Ultra?

My kids keep on hitting the X button on the ds. This asks if you want to delete the file? Can I permanently disable the function from my 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. Is there some sort of firmware that needs downloading to the R4 card in order to make them work?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

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!

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

Hi when I get my R4 for my nds, will i be better installing the latest updates from the r4 official website than installing them from the disc?

My son has deleted his favourite game and we don't know how to get it back.We've plugged the card into pc and the game is still listed but i have'nt the foggiest how to get it back onto his R4.Anyone have any ideas?

I wanted to know if we're using the r4, can it be link with other ds players? I was trying to connect with others but it didnt detect it

can anybody help me . i read so many forums saying that i can use a 8 gb sdhc chip if i download different firmware version1.25 , guess what no deal is there any way to get thru this or am i wasting my time and should i switch back too my 2 gb card? thx tucker..,

Why is it that no-one can read the posts above? Everyone is asking the same questions and should know by now that you need an English Version II R4 with a 2GB micro SD card - I use Kingston.

If you cannot work out how to get it to work by reading the posts above then maybe you should just go and buy one from someone who puts all the games and everything on for you.

Are people really that thick? I managed to get mine to work straight away and have never had any problems since

Oh and I had someone brought one to me today and I noticed that someone hadn't even unzipped one of the games so it wasn't in the right format to be recognised....

Just leave it to the experts, stop trying to mess around with something if you haven't got a clue...

Alright, so I spent I don't know how many hours trying to get this thing to work, but was always stuck with the "LOADING SCREEN".

After reading all it says here and all over the web I realized there are a few different R4 cards and there is different software for each one. Mine is R4 Deluxe and it needs special software you can download via this link http://rapidshare.com/files/189886260/English-1.20.rar

Make sure you're Micro SD card is not formatted with FAT32.

I used a SanDisk 1 GB

So for everyone who has R4 Deluxe

1. Download firmware R4 from http://rapidshare.com/files/189886260/English-1.20.rar
2. Create a folder f.e. 'Games' and put your downloaded games there.
3.Do what the guy does in the first video above!

Hopefully my input helped somebody! If I would have known how much mental effort this would take I would have never signed up for this R4 revolution thing.

I'm trying to use the AR cheats on my R4DS Ultra & when I press (y) on a game with cheats, the list comes up but it's all in Chinese. (The CHEAT.dat file is the latest one from gbatemp) Can anybody help?????..........PLEASE

MARIO KART!!!! my favorite game. Every other game works, but when I try to load mario kart, it just freezes. help me T_T

hi ive got a r4 but i didnt recieve a disc, so ive tried to download lots of different kernels but everytime i put my r4 into my ds it says "couldnt find _DS_MENU.DAT" on the top screen...
what do i have to do to???
please help im lost!!

When you buy an R4, look on its box, it should have the address of the web site where you can download the right OS. Its no good installing V1.18 on a R4SDHC it wont work.

There are many R4's out there, copies of copies :) get the right program for your R4.

Use the Panasonic MicroSD card formatter, DO NOT USE YOUR PC !

Install the system first BEFORE you put anything else on, boot it up, let it make its SYS file before you add games.

Make a folder on your SD card called Games, put all your games in there.

Make a folder called Movies, put all your converted movies in there.

Moonshell must be setup for the R4, get the full program, it comes with movie converter and a program to make thumbnails for your pictures.

Use Kingston microsd, dont use crap memory cards
The standard R4 can use upto 2Gb while the R4SDHC suppose to work up to 32GB, if you can play movies when you have gone over 4Gb, then your R4 only supports 4Gb

There are so many R4's out there, and they all have the right programs, most cannot be used on other cards

Latest R4 (Original) V1.18 max 2Gb MicroSD
Latest R4SDHC V1.25 use 4Gb microSD

Both support themes (1 for each month) = 12
Moonshell 1.7 run setup and select R4 you make your files.

R4SDHC
_system_
moonshl
_DS_MENU.DAT
_DS_MENU.INI
_DS_MSHL.NDS

Now add these folders if you want them
Games
Movies
Pictures
MP3

Press all DS buttons for reset

PLEASE can anyone help? My son has been happily playing on his DS with his R4 card, then this morning all the games have vanished!! The DS recognises the card as it comes up with the 3 icons but when you go into the games menu - nothing! I have checked the SD card via the USB and all games are listed. Please someone help me. Thank you. Nicki

I hear and share your pain everyone, but I have finally cracked the secret code with troublesome R4s. I have the older one that takes the 1.18 kernel I downloaded. Firstly, I had a two dodgy 2GB - they were Toshibas. I now have Kingston's and no more probs. Secondly, I have put some card in behind the R4 as someone suggested here to assist the connection and has worked fine ever since. Thirdly, delete the "English" folder but keep the subdirectorys and copy it onto the card. Make a new folder in the root DIR, along with _system_ & moonshl folders called "game" and copy your games into it. Once your card is in the console, press the left hand icon. Use the cross to scroll down to "game". Press "A" button to select. Use the cross to scroll down to disired game. Press"A" to select. Tap "OK" to load SAV file and your reday to play. Hope this helps a lot of people, but if saves someone a whole precious day trying to figure it for themselves, then I feel better!

I did everything you did when i put the games in and when i get to the page with the directory folder i press A and it shows ../ and i dont know what to do.

I have got an R4 card which I bought with the software and games on. I followed everyones way to delete and download new games on to it it has worked fine until today when it said sdtf error. I have tried formatting it but it says windows cant format any ideas.....

Hello this is a bit strange problem , I have an r4 ds card with 2gb memory and it works perfectly fine, i then went and got a r4ds with 2gb memory for my cousin for christmas . I copied all my software and games onto my cousins memory card and then put it in her 'supercard' and put it into my ds and it didnt work, yet when i put her memory card into my supercard it worked? :S

Can anyone help me please. I bought my 2 kids a DS each for Christmas. The R4 card works perfectly on my daughters turquoise one but my sons red on just says "No DS card inserted". Both DS's were bought from game. ANY IDEA'S PLEASE

I just bought an RD which says that it is SDHC capable. It came without the CD so I've downloaded the _system_ folder, moonshl folder, _DS-MSHL.NDS file, _R4_III Dat file, _DS_MENU file and copied them over to the root directory of a newly formated SD card. (I'd previously downloaded the R4 V1.18 kernel but that didn't work either). All I can get is a dark screen that says "Loading...". I've tried with SD and SDHC cards.
I can't believe this company does such a poor job and ships incomplete product. People bitch about Microsoft - at least my PC worked when I brought it home!!
Does anyone have any suggestions?
