Hello People,
I have a Problem with my R4 Card. I Have downloaded the latest v1.18 kernel from 'n4ds.com'. The Root Folder for my microSD is:
_system_
moonshl
_DS_MENU
_DS_MSHL.NDS
Once i place the microSD in my R4 Card and then in my NDSL. When i turn it on it starts with the Nintendo Logo as normal, and then the R4 Card is read. The screens changes to 'Loading...' with a Black Background and Freezes. Any Ideas wat the problem is.

There are loads of threads on this site alone - trying to get the R4 to work. A summary of what has been found is shown below.

The biggest issue with the R4 is the number of different cards all needing different firmware's (38!).

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.

6) Unless it specifically says - the unit can take up to 2GB micro SD's, if it says SDHC then it can take up to 16GB (currently the highest available)

7) Ensure the clock is correctly set on the DS - this upsets some R4's

Good Luck
