Hi - really hope someone can help!
I've got a R4 card today and 4gb SD card. I've downloaded the latest kernel and copied over to the SD card as per the instructions on here. I've then created a 'games' folder to stick my roms in.
All seems great until I then stick the R4 (with SD) into the DS. When I turn it on, on the top screen it says loading then quickly turns to what I can only describe as a red SD card graphic with a face inside - underneath it says MENU???
Where did you get the Kernal from, there are now 11 R4 cards all using there own software, the website in my signature hosts them all I would suggest that you probably have the wrong one. Exactly which card did you buy? I say exactly as some are only a hyphen apart
Cheers!! I'm sorted now... didnt realise there was so much difference!!! I've sorted the download that is specific to the card - am all up & running now!!
Hi Kittymat, i have had my R4 for about 3 months & can't get the 4gb sd card to work but i don't have the box or instruction leaflet for it any more & don't know which version i have, all in says on the cart is R4 revolution for DS. How could i find out which version it is?
If you have an original R4 Revolution, then you'll need a smaller micro SD card (2GB or smaller). The original R4 doesn't support micro SDHC cards (4GB or larger).

Agreed. It sounds like you received a non-SDHC version of the R4. It can happen, seeing as most suppliers are juggling several versions and revisions of the R4.
I think if you email them back they can sort it out for you. I'd test beforehand though. Borrow a 2GB microSD card, load the firmware and see if it works with that first.
If it doesn't, then your R4 is DOA. If it does, you need to swap it. I would also do a quick test with the 4GB microSD card to make sure it's not DOA also (format and try copying files to it).
