Quick question on the R4 1.12 software downloaded from the R4 site.
The zip file contains MANY files - do you load them all into the R4?
My apologies if this is a dumb question. I thought I was just supposed to load the system, moonshl,ds-menu.dat and ds-mshl.nds files.
But there are 4 files named 'system': system.ank, system.fon, system.l2u, and system.txt
Plus moonshl is a moonshl.ini - is this correct?
I need a swift kick in the right direction
Thanks!

hahaha
Never mind. I extracted the files incorrectly and had wiped out the directory structure.
It's all good now.

Anyone have a preference on where to buy the R4? VolumeRate or ModchipCentral?
Is VolumeRate legit?

Download the latest R4 firmware here . When you open the folder, it's going to contain the following: system_ (folder); moonshl (folder); _DS_MENU.DAT; and _DS_MSHL.NDS. Drag all these to the root directory of your micro-SD card.

kotch689, I had a problem playing a new game, called Ben 10, on R4. I went to R4 website and updated the kernel to latest one and the new game then worked. Maybe this will help for you too, have you tried latest update?

You'll have better luck with newer ROMs if you keep your firmware up to date...

Make sure these files are present in the root directory of your micro-SD card: system_ (folder); moonshl (folder); _DS_MENU.DAT; and _DS_MSHL.NDS.
