Hi there hoping all you techies can help me out of a fix. My son is devastated because he has lost (had pinched) the memory chip from his R4 card.

At first I thought it would be a simple case of getting a new one until I started looking into it a bit more. Ive established so far that it is a SDHC memory card that we need but how big can I go? am I better off just sticking with the 4GB which I think we must have had?

Next is the really confusing bit as I kept seeing references to kernels and firmware - I take it we need to download the latest versions onto the memory card and transfer the games from the ROMs that we have before we will get this to work. Can anyone please tell me if I am on the right track here or just barking up the wrong tree!!! and if I am in the right vicinity what exactly do I need to download and from which sites

I think Im going to go for a Kingston unless anyone can advise any differently as that seems to be recommended over SanDisk

thanks so much in anticipation of your replies - a very frustrated mum.
