Hello friends

I am also getting this loading screen problem. I am so desperate and on the limit of depression, really.

DS Lite, blue
Lexar 2GB micro SD card
R4i SDHC Revolution for DS (NDSI/NDSL/NDS) gold colour, bought from dinodirect

I have tried everything but it's not working. Please help me. It's a gift for my wife and that damn loading screen keeps popping on.

Thanks!

Hi, Iv'e bought the R4 which is the SDHC one (not the R4. This one if you have it will not load (it shows 'Loading...' all the time.
The reason for showing 'Loading...' is that you will not have the correct Firmware loaded. This you will not find on the R4 site.

To get access, go to www.R4sdhc.com
On this site, look at the top right and it will either show the word 'English' (if not it is the 1st box).
Click on this box.
Underneath you will see 6 boxes, click on the 3rd from left box.
Scroll down until you see numbers with versions(like, 6,6,5,4,3,2,1).
You need No5 ver 1.22. Click on this one (It may show Service not avialbe, but go back and clcik again).
Scroll down to the bottom and you will see 2 R4 v1.22.
Click on the 1st one and it will show you a File to save to download.
It is normally downloaded in a Rar file so hope you have it.
Once you have downloaded the Rar file and transferred to your Docs.
The files you need to copy and Paste to the Sd card (to get it running) are:
_DS_MENU (Data File)
_DS_MSHL (NDS File)
_DS_MENU (Config File)
_system_
moonshl

All these files are required to run your DS Games.

Once you have loaded the above onto the Sd Card, create a Folder and name it 'Games'.
This is where you copy all your games into.

Hope this helps those out there who are having trouble.

HI, I got a card for christmas and it has stopped working, when i turn it on a red menu error appears,

i have downloaded lots of kernals but none have worked. The box that it came in was black and has a giant green R4 with SDHC wrote under it (it doesnt say new or anything like that) I also have a normal DS. If anybody could help it would be appreciated.

PS. i someone could talk me through how to set it up I would appreciate it (Im not to good with computers)

Hello,
I had the same problem. Go to R4ds.co.uk look for your kind of r4card and your micro sd size. I have r4sdhc revolution 8gb. I used the software V1.16 B. This took quite some hours to figure it out because it kept saying loading screen with all other firmware (that should work by saying). My english is not so good I'm from Holland sorry. You download the winrar zip and save on your computer. Then u unpack by double clicking and you see some maps and documents, kopie these and click on extract to, select the one where your memorycard is in and click ok. Now put your games on. Ready. Let me know if it worked ok. Good luck, I hope I helped you. Greetings

tearing hair, gritting teeth, and many loud noises of anger are what this r4 has brought forth. i have tried every firmware i can get my hands on. i have formatted a 2Gb sandisk into fat and fat32, and tried all the firmwares i could find. did the same thing with a 4gb sandisk. and i get the same black screen white loading screen, with a dash of red lights thrown in.

I have a NDSL model usg-001
a 2gb sandisk card, a 4GB sandisk card
R4 SDHC (NDSL/NDS)
im at my wits end here. i just want it to work... any help would be nice.

Hi everyone

Have a bit of problem with the new R4 SDHC card just bought. It's not the first one I've bought but this problem has really stumped me!

Summary:
2x 8GB Kingston micro sd (new)
1x 4GB generic micro sd (new)
1x 512MB SanDisk (4 years plus used)
1x 8GB SanDisk (1 yr plus)
1x 2GB Kingston (2 yr plus)
R4 Upgrade Card

Was told to download the firmware which is the 1.16b from their website http://www.r4i.co.uk/r4

Firmware works fine but the problem I have is the loading times
1. the 2 8GB kingston cards took about 3 minutes to load a game
2. 4GB generic card took 3 minutes to load a game
3. 512MB took less than 10 secs
4. 8GB SanDisk took less than 10 secs
5. 2GB Kingston card took less than 10 secs

I hacve tried formatting them numerous times already, even tried different versions of firmware but the ones which did work, still took more than 2 minutes for any game to load up.

Any ideas? Am really desperate. Am doing this as a favour for a friend as I own a TT card which is superb but I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere.

I have thought about returning the sd cards. what do you think?

I've ran into similar problems using 2Gb Kingston Micro SD cards with the R4 cards but only the ones which are made in Taiwan. The ones marked as made in Japan seem to load at 'normal' speeds. It must be something to do with the combination of SD card and games card as the 'slow' cards work fine in different branded games cards.

Hey all...

I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing the same old sob story, (I would know, I've read nearly every post here) but here it is again..

R4-SDHC... Most likely a clone.
SanDisk 2GB Micro...
Blue classic DS.

"Loading..." Screen problem... tried every firmware I could get my grubby hands on, from every site, formatted in both FAT and FAT32... I even looked into that YSMenu thing... Nothing. I've had this bloody thing for over a year and still can't get it to work right! Enough is enough, I want this thing working, what with the release of HG/SS... -sigh-

Pugg, I've seen how you work miracles for these other hapless souls. I beg of you to work some magic here.. nothing seems to be working. My portable gaming future is in your capable hands...

The card you describe sounds like an original R4 card. Trouble is they are not compatable with HD Micro SD cards (anything above 2GB). If you have access to a 2GB Micro SD try that.

Hi guys,

Same old story as everyone else I am afraid. I have PM'ed Senor Puggwash but know he has a lot of people looking for his help.

So, hoped someone else may have some info for me.

I have this, http://www.mymemory.co.uk/R4-Adaptors/R4...B-Micro-SD-Card

It's a R4i Gold adaptor card, 8GB MSD card which I am trying to use on a DSi XL.

I've tried different software but when I run a game it either says loading or freezes at the beginning with "Application halted !!Please refer [/moonshl2/logbuf.txt]"
and it stays frozen there. movies and music seem to play fine, weird.

My wife thinks I'm a fool with the kids quickly joining that merry bandwagon!

I have a 20 hour flight coming up with the lot of them in a couple of days time and am worried we won't make it! :) I do love them of course.

My operating system is XP if that's any help.

Cheers and many many thanks in advance.

Hi guys.

My R4 SDHC was working fine before I upgraded to the latest firmware. I know I should probably have saved the firmware I was using, and that was a stupid mistake, but this is kind of driving me crazy now.

I have the R4 SDHC Revolution for the DS, 2 GB generic micro SD card, white NDSL. Also if it helps, I didn't have the Moonshell folder before. I am also using a PC.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Oh, I've just figured out I've been downloading the wrong firmware all along. I got my firmware from www.r4ultra.com. I knew there was a website written on my flashcart... ^^; Well, I hope that might be able to help some people.

Pugg My R4i is stuck at the loading screen. Before I could play the games but only 5 games of the 9 I downloaded. On my sd card I moved around the nds files until they were right next to each other to see if I could play them all. I couldn't get past the loading screen. I heard how so many people were helped. Also if I have this software would it delete any thing? If you can please help me then reply back the answer to this quetion and the software.
I owe you one thanks so much in advance eve though I didn't get anything yet.

P.S Contact me through this email address. I just noticed it said no email posting. How do I give my email to you.

I have a NDSL & use an original R4 with Scandisk 2GB. I have used these for approx 2 yrs with no problem until now. I have downloaded the latest firmware but still cannot get any DSi version games to work. They show up in the menu list ok but when i select them they show as an untitled game & i just get a blank white screen. Some games are only in DSi. Any ideas?
