I read through these posts about loading screen problems. I also bought an R4 and it is one without the spring mechanism, so the memory card slides in and you have to pull it out. Well, I used a 4GB microSD card, and I got the loading screen. I followed the directions on the website provided on the box. My problem was that the site told me to copy 3 files to the memory card. There were 5 files in the download kernel, which at this date the latest was V1.21 according to the site I used. There appears to be 2 main websites, and depending on which box you have it will give the appropriate website. The box said to use http://www.r4sdhc.com But I had to use http://www.ndslr4.com/index-en.htm for my kernel. I sent an email to the place where I bought it, and they said I must use this kernel, not the one from http://r4ds.cn/download/r4.html
So I downloaded the kernel which had 5 items, Copied all 5 items to the root directory of the memory card, and it worked. I thought it was never going to work, but it did. I hope this helps someone out there, because I was going crazy trying to get this to work. And I have an older R4, which looks slightly different, and I also have an M3Simply. So I thought I knew what I was doing.
Also, I am currently using a 4GB microSD on this R4. It does work with 4GB. Not all R4's support 4Gigs and higher. If this is a clone, then my clone is working and I'm happy. Good luck everyone.
Help! I can no longer get on the ndsl4 website, it just comes up with an http error? I need the v1.21 software as I accidentally deleted it when I was deleting some old roms off my card.....
Can anyone send me the files??
Thanx in advance to whoever can help!
Ipoder.

For future reference, there are 3 sites you can use to get the 1.21 firmware:
www.ndslr4.com
www.r4sdhc.com
www.r4r4ds.com
Also, they were down for maintenance recently, that's why you were getting http errors :)

I re-formatted my R4 - 4GB card and found on the website that was listed on the box, the new - R4-III v3.02 kernel (English) and then downloaded a game and am STILL getting the same "loading" message that doesn't go away.
Any suggestions before I call them to send me a new one??

hey guys, i just recently bought the r4 advance
and it used to load up fine...but it froze a lot resulting in the loss of all the files and saves in my SD (im using a Kingston 2gb)
I have heard from people that its probably a problem with my sd card so i bought a new one just to try...
but suddenly today as i used the new card, the R4 would get stuck on the loading screen.
I tried inserting my old SD card and still no luck ><
I have tried most firmwares (1.17-1.20) without any luck.
I was wondering if demonG could send the 1.21 file to my email:
*email removed*
or if anyone has any other ideas why my R4 would suddenly not load ><
Thanks in advance.

You havent downloaded the right firmware. This is what you have to do...
(if you havent already you will need to download
winRAR to open the files)
1. Delete everything on your MicroSD Card.
2. Download this latest firmware (it has to be this particular one). http://www.ndslr4.com/soft/25-en.htm. Extract it and copy and paste the 5 files straight onto the microSD card through the computer. These 5 files are...
'moonshl' folder
'_system_' folder
'_DS_MSHL.NDS' file
'DS_MENU.INI' file
'_DS_MENU.DAT' file
3. Then put microSD card into the R4 device and it should load up fine. If you want to put ROMS on there, just download them and copy and paste them straight to microSD card.
This should work. .there is a Online manual at this address if you need to read it. http://www.ndslr4.com/product-en.htm

I bought one of the R4 Revolution V3 SDHC fot the wifes DS and followed all og=f the advice from this rhread but with no luck then i conntacted the seller from Amazon and they forwarded the following link with the following info:
Please update the software to V3.07 from this link
http://www.snaparmor.cn/down/r4307/English_Version3.07.rar
After downloading is finished, please use WinRAR to extract the file, you will get a new folder with the same name "English_Version3.07", click this folder, you will see 6 items inside. Please copy and paste these 6 items directly to your Micro SD card. After these steps, your R4 will work with your Micro SD card
Low and behold it worked;
I hope this helps some of you out i know its an old thread...

Hi guys,
I've read loads of pages about this issue but forgive me if this is something everyone else has already sorted.
My R4 arrived today, ordered from www.r4adaptors.co.uk (it took 10 days, though, not the 1st class promised!).
The box says "New R4 SDHC Revolution for DS (NDSL/ NDS)" and has a website of http://www.r4ultra.com It was preloaded with 2 folders and a number of files:
_system_
moonshl
_DS_MENU.dat
_DS_MENU.ini
_DS_MENU.sys
_DS_MSHL.nds
R4-English-1.23.rar
revolution_software.txt
It came with the USB reader, wriststrap, case etc and a 4GBSanDisk MicroSDHC card but no separate CD or instructions (and the above text file is empty).
Anyway, I have put some .nds ROM files on the card in a "Games" folder I created, which all looks fine. However, when I turn the DS on, I just get the black screen with Loading in white. I have tried:
* getting some ROMs from another site
* using a 2Gb non HC card
* using the card in a Nintendo DS Lite
* downloading other software as listed at the top of this thread
All with the same result. If I put the R4 in either the DS or DS Lite without a SD card in, I still get the same screen ("Loading").
Any good ideas? Thanks so, so much.

I have a r4 and a 2gig kingston
I got the r4 a week ago, put like 6 games in it and didnt have a problem with the first 2-3 games.
I then tried to play a new game and while it was loading, it got stuck (black screen) so i chose to reset the ds.
After resetting, it gets stuck at the start when it has the black screen with the white loading letters.
This has happend a couple of times now and ive come to understand that it isnt some rom in particular as the problem occurs on different roms randomly that might have worked previously.
I put the files on the micro card in the right order and have also made a extra folder to put the games in called Games, but still get the same black screen after a while after starting one of the new roms.
The only way to slove this is to format the micro card as its unreadable when i connect it to the pc again. This sucks as i always lose my saved games.
Anyone have any idea on what this is?

When you choose to run a regular format on a memory card, files are removed from the memory card that you are formatting and the memory card is also scanned for bad sectors. The scan for bad sectors is responsible for the majority of the time that it takes to format a volume.
If you choose the Quick format option, format removes files from the partition, but does not scan the memory card for bad sectors. Only use this option if your memory card has been previously formatted and you are sure that your memory card is not damaged.
