Having trouble with R4 Upgrade Revolution for DS

[Mikano777]

I have tried firmware from all sorts of websites, I've just found this website to try the firmware from here.

Barely any of the games will load no matter what firmware is used, R4 Official, R4 SDHC, R4i, R4 Upgrade and even the DSTT firmware using YSMenu. Only a few games will load, heck even Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story will load but almost 90% of the rest will not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a pic of the card I am trying to get to work.

Only difference is ours have the url for r4i-sdhc.com below the brackets text.

Hi hypersonic. I have just joined this forum and do not have sufficient posts to contact via private messaging. I too have purchased the same R4 upgrade card and also having difficulty downloading the correct software, I am of the older generation, and have trouble understanding the latest terminology. I have also had YOUNG guys at work try to perform the downloads with NO success. Can you help please.

This is just a tought, but you card could be faulty.
I have had a number of them fail to load or be recogised by the ds or fail afterwards even after the games have been played with.
The games should only take a few seconds to load just make sure you have opened the file and copied only the game itself.

Thanks red1.
Yes maybe the 4GB microSDHC card is faulty, but I have had guys check my R4/usb reader out with their NDS and all appears ok. They seem to think its a software problem that they cannot download on these new R4 upgrade type?????
Thank you for replying and trying to help I appreciate it.

Can you please be my saviour?? I have an r4i sdhc v1.4 card with a 4gb sd card for my sons nds lite. I AM GOING CRAZY and the laptop is in danger of going out of a window, as for the past two days I have tried fumbling my way around setting this thing up.
In the VERY SIMPLEST form could you please tell me, from scratch (with links if possible) what I need to do to get this thing to work (and my son to stop mithering me!!)
I am not very computer literate so won't be insulted by getting step by step instructions.

Thank you in advance

goto w*w.R4i-sdhc.com and view the homepage for full english instructions on how to load the software & games onto the micro SD card. You can also browse the download section for more R4 software to try. Take your time and follow the insructions carefully. If you have a date fault when starting the DS Lite, remove the R4 chip, start the DS and change the year to 2006 then refit the R4.

The R4 DS Revolution card (http://www.r4fords.co.uk/product/R4-SDHC-Upgrade-Revolution-MicroSD-TF-Multimedia-Flash-Card-for-NDS-DS-Lite-A) does all our would want to be able to play music and watch videos on our DS. The limitations with this R4 DS card is that it does not accept memory cards with capacities bigger than 2GB as this device is not SDHC compatible.

Having same problem, did this download work for you guys ?

[iphonic]

I have a R4 Upgrade Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS)
My old games work but when i try to put new games on it the new games load you on a white screen which does not go away. also i have a 4gb micro sd HC class6 card in my R4 card.
once i switch my ds on everything loads fine and it says on the ds screen R4III english version, R4 III Revolution for DS v3.11 and loads fine with all my old games but no new games work.
I have tried updating the firmware but when i do it does not even load up the R4 menu so i go back to this firmware which does load up the menu and my old games.
can someone please help me so i can play the new games on my card?

Thank you

I just got a DS lite R4 from a friend who has upgraded to a 3DS, It has not been updated far enough to play anything more recent than 2010.
I have been trying to download new firmware, but everything I try makes the all the games (new and old) fail to launch. They load to a white or black screen (depending on the kernel version) and just sit.
Any advice for someone completely new to this who is just shooting in the dark, i did not think it should be nearly this difficult to fix.

Thanks for any help in advance
