The biggest issue with the R4 is the number of different cards all needing different firmware's.

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 is seated correctly in the R4 before putting into the DS

5) At this stage do not add any roms - get it past the loading screen first.

Good Luck

Hey Pug,finally found you ... I'm having problems and I hope you can help? This is driving me mad !!!

I have a Nintendo DS (Black), R4-SDHC Upgrade Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS) with 8gb Kingston micro SD card.

I have reformatted the scandisk and installed the correct software (R4 English V1.08b). When I switch on the DS it loads up well and into the main menu screen providing three options (1) games (2) Multimedia (3) Config. At this point all the DS buttons work find and I am able to scroll right to left.

However when I go into Games (pressing the B button) I can view the first four games but I am unable to load any of the games up or scroll up or down to try an different games, and I cant go back to the main menu. It's basically stuck.

Any ideas ???

Also when I try going into Multimedia and running the game from there again I can view the moonmemo, moonshl2 and R$imenu folders. I can also view and scroll down to all the loaded games. However when I try to load any of the games is simply get a message on the top screen stating "Application halted !!Please refer [/moonshl2/logbuf.txt]"
and it stays frozen there.

If you want to contact me personally please e-mail on *email removed*

Thank you.

Thanks Grant26 .

I re-downloaded the English file (V1.08b) even though this is same as I already have on the SD card. As suspected the same error occured i.e. games menu locked and multimedia error.

Additionally, I advance formatted the 8gb micro SD with Panasonics SD formatter, and downloaded the firmware to extract straight on to the SD.I even tried loading just one games ROM in the hope it may be a ROM that is causing the problem - however still the same problem !!

I am really at a loss what to try next. Has anybody had the same problem and managed to find a solution??

Thanks in advance ...

Hi, all!!!
I don´t have the loading screen problem anymore but I have another problem. When I try to load a game, it starts to create a save file then all of a sudden says "savfile not founded, please reset system". I can see the save file created in the "Games" directory but none of the games run.
Does anyone knows what I have to do so this works properly? Is a firmware problem?
I have a black DSI with an R4I-SDHC Upgrade (Revolution for DS) (the one that cames with a red box). I have a 4GB Lexar micro sd card (it cames with the R4I card).

Thanks in advance.

Fumanchu8,

There is now running in Nintendo games some software issues that do not allow you to save the games or even run them. As you have encountered by having the message 'savefile' not found.

I have a software that will allow you to re-jig your downloaded game and play, also create a save file.
As the file is bigger than the normal size any email allows to recieve, it will have to be sent via post (no cost involved apart from a Stamp. If any require this, I will set it up for you (along with guided instructions).

Coachtop, please send me your email so I can send across the versions for your DS.

Bailzy, I will send across to your address the bits, hopefully that you require.

To all those who have just recently sent me messages and I have not replied, Im sorry but I am entitled to a Holiday sometime (lol). I am back so I will try to pick up where I left and to those who still need help, please contact me.

Puggwash:

First of all, thank you four your help and for the work you are doing here helping other people.
This problem is strange because the games run nicely on the Nintendo DS of my daughter with an R4. Only got this problem in the DSI of my son. Also the R4I cames with a game in it (Super Mario 64) and in the first day this game worked properly (as I can remember). I´ll accept your offer to send me that "magic" software you have but instead of posting it, maybe it´s better for you to upload it to rapidshare or megaupload and send me the link. I don´t want to give you any trouble by making you go to a post office and loosing your time. Anyway, I´ll leave that to you.

Thank you one more time.

How do I know which type of R4 card I have?

The box says R4 revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS), I tried reading the pins and I think it says RDHS CARD-/A The box had no set up CD.

I have tried 1.22 and 1.18 updates but no joy :(. I have a 2GB sandisk micro sd card. I also need to wedge a bit of paper to make caontact on the R4 card.

My ds lite is fairly new UEH16731629.

I'm at my wits end lol!

Many thanks

It seems Pugg is very selective in his response :-0)...

For those that are interested I managed to work out my problem of 17/06/09 without the help of this forum. My R4 SDHC Upgrade now works fine with a 8gb Micro SD Card.

Essentially, remove any CD/DVD burning software from your PC (i.e. Nero) as this can corrupt the image file. Then follow the instructions to the letter (e.g. format micro SD, extract files, drag and drop files to SD card etc). Please note: drag and drop one folder at a time. Personally, I do not remove Nero I just used a clean laptop for the transfer - and it worked fine .... If you still have a problem, your kit is knackered and should be returned to the supplier ...

Hope this helps ...

*** edit by creaky - there is absolutely NO need to remove Nero at all.. ***

Well congratulations - and nice to see you are so complimentary.

If I was being as complimentary I would tell you that you were a victim of your own stupidity, if you had done your homework you would never have bought an R4 and saved yourself a load of issues.

The problem that Pugg and everyone else that tries to help has, is the number of different R4's out there - all with their own software and issues

A recent list (there are "New" ones now)

R4i.L.S (r4li.com)
R4i Deluxe
R4i Advance
R4i Upgrade
R4i-SDHC
R4i Neo
R4i (r4i.cn)
R4i (r4ultra.com)
Super R4i
Hyper-R4i
Gold R4i

R4ds
R4 SDHC (ndslr4.com, r4sdhc.com)
R4 SDHC (r4new.com, r4-pro.com)
R4 New (r4new.com)
R4 New (r4-new.com
R4-II (r4iids.com)
R4-III
R4 Upgrade
R4 III SDHC
R4 Advance
R4 Deluxe
R4 Plus
R4 Pro
R4 Team
R4 Top
R4X
R4-V

And there are 2 x SDHC (3 if you include the i version) both have the same name but - different software, so which one do you have?

We all know that Pugg has a great reputation for fixing our R4 problems.

But I'll bet a lot of money that he is a BUSY MAN! Most people have lives away from the computer and I bet that even Pugg plays the odd game now and then!

The one thing that I have seen (over and over) is that he requests users to PM him. The reason for this is simples (meerkat) and one I use on other forums - You don't miss the message as you could in a normal thread.

I PM'd Pugg and got a reply the same day with a zip file that sorted out my problem. I didn't need to post on the forum (although I did post a thank you message).

I don't even need to return to this forum but I do just to see what's going on and all that. I also check out losts of the other AD forum because it's so helpful.

The people here bend over backwards to help then some dillbert who probably wont return has a pop. Well that's the way I see it anyway.

I wonder if Kitty will call me stupid now for admiting that I have an R4 :P

Nope - just the unappreciative.

I stand by my belief that the R4 is now a very poor purchase, however by the nature of the product once working (if you can get it that way) you will think it is great.

Unfortunately the R4 has become a word to mean Flashcart, hence the huge number of poor quality carts using the name. There are loads of other great carts out there but most people looking into it for the first time google "R4"

This thread is to try and help R4 owners, those in need will hopefully be pointed in the right direction, but dont complain about a lack of instant help if you did no homework in the first place.

Look, where did I imply I was unappreciative or disrespectful ??? The work Pugg does I could not replicate through both will or time ... I know many people like him and admire their unselfish determination to share what knowledge they have .....

For those that misinterpreted my message, don't be so quick to judge others based on your own shortcoming and deficient etiquette protocol ... I simply had a genuine problematic issue that plenty of forum members shared but nobody within this forum (including senior members) had an answer to.

These type of forums should highlight new issues and not simply regurgitate the 'loading error' and direct technophobic people to software that a simple google search can locate.

Please do not respond to this posting as nothing more needs to be said ... as for calling me stupid - if you only knew !!!!

I painstakingly worked out the problem and posted the solution so it can perhaps help others.

As for the R4
