Look at the R4 entry below

"Paper shim trick

The card is not making contact with the pins in the DS - you need to put a piece of paper or card between the R4 and the rear of the ds, ths pushes the card onto the pins - its a very common issue"

It can take some fiddling to get it to work.

Does the DS see game cartridges, is the R4 visable in another DS??

If its going straight to the ds menu - but a real game is recognised, it can only be a poor contact (Paper shim)or completely faulty card, putting it into another DS will prove whick it is.

If the flashcart is not seen by the DS, it can not be incorrect software, it is either poor contact or a completely faulty card. If you have incorrect software the card will be detected and then go to loading or ask for firmware - Menu?
