problems with my r4 upgrade games engine sdhc

[mutly30]

i have just bought this from R4 SDHC Card for DS + 2GB Micro SD Memory Card : R4 : r4i.co.uk (http://www.r4i.co.uk/shop/r4/r4-adapter-for-nintendo-dslite-plus-2gb-micro-sd-/5941)
so i know it isnt a fake but i have followed what it tells me to do to install the software but it doesnt seem to work it keeps coming up menu in red
it is driving me insane what am i doing wrong?

[cablegt]

I've bought the same one at christmas mate and i tried to put a different firmware on it and this is what came up (symbol of a memery card in red)..I see they have changed fw to R4i English V1.15b.I am on 1.14b and working great,so could be a problem with 1.15b.Here is the games engine website Games-engine: DSer family--Index (http://www.games-engine.com/Forums/) witch is linked to our card.Also theres a link in the download section on here for the 1.14b Digital Kaos - Downloads - R4I gold (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/ds/21/r4i-gold-1054/)
I would give that a go...Just put the 3 folders and 1 file over to the memery card and a new folder called game.

I've uploaded my working R4i English V1.14b in the d/l section.Hope this gets you going..Digital Kaos - Downloads - R4i English V1.14b for R4 SDHC Upgrade (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/ds/21/r4i-english-v1-14b-r4-sdhc-upgrade-1100/)

[mutly30]

thanks for the link i have tryed it and it still doesnt work
it is really driving me insane

[cablegt]

Sorry to hear it did not work for you,are you getting a menu error again.
Ok lets start from the begining
1/ format sd card to FAT32.
2/ unrar R4i English V1.14b using winrar to desktop.
3/ open R4i English V1.14b folder and copy the 3 folders a 1 file and make a folder called games over to sd card.
4/ place game roms into games folder on sd card.
Thats it if your still getting errors i would contact r4ds.co.uk as your card maybe is duff and ask them for a replacement.

[mutly30]

i contacted the web site they said it was to do with me not having the right date set on my ds
i now have it working thank you everyone for all ur help xx

[cablegt]

no worries glad you got it working.

[kingyas]

does this wrk???

[cablegt]

Hi kingyas,nice 1st post mate...does this wrk???...little clue.. i now have it working thank you everyone for all ur help xx..and..no worries glad you got it working..
So not sure what your asking.If you have a problem with your ds maybe you can be a bit more specific. (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/members/125805-kingyas/)

[Batz]

[cablegt]

Hi batz did you get the r4 card working....The process is
1/ format sd card to FAT32.
2/ unrar R4i English V1.14b using winrar to desktop.
3/ open R4i English V1.14b folder and copy the 3 folders a 1 file and make a folder called games over to sd card.
4/ place game roms into games folder on sd card.
And make sure your time and date are set correctly thats it all should work...

[greengirl]

i had the same problem with the date - I also found that the Firmware v 1.12 worked v1.25 didnt

[bettyswolloks]

Hi all,ive got a problem with my R4 card ive put the software on and all i get on the top screen is the,loading..... thing,goes no further.
I bought it from R4i,online ordered a black one just like my eldest son has. what i recieved was a red one,christmas edition. now if i put a memory card that my eldest has,that works a treat on his ds,in the red r4 i still get the same thing,ive tried ringing them and,as they do,they talked to me like i was 105,and just said id installed the swoftware wrong,even though i was on the phone doing it step by step with her! She said all i could do was send it back and they would install the software,but i dont think thats the problem,i mena how hard is drag n drop!!!

Any ideas before i send it back?

[cablegt]

Not sure you have the r4 card because they are black..it looks like you have a r4i card instead witch means you have the wrong firmware..try the r4i firmware from the site instead..that should solve the problem.

If your r4 card came in a red box its definitely a r4i....

[bettyswolloks]

Thanx for your reply mate. It came in a black box and it says its an R4,no i.
The card reads like this.

CHRISMAS VERSION
Limited
SDHC
R4
Upgrade
Revolution for
(NDSL/NDS)
www.R4ISDHC.COM (http://www.R4ISDHC.COM)

And there really is no T in chrismas LOL!!!

Ive tried every version of the firmware and get the same result everytime. Loading....... on the top screen and nothing else.

[BiloBlue]

thankyou for this!

[scotty-do]

thanks guys, heres hoping it works

[lemon]

[Iceberg211989]

[patty_b]

[jinxy72]

[seedsetter]

Im having the same problem.

[chyegye]

[russtrekie]

One of my mates has the same problem, so hopefully the files shared here will cure it....Thanks guys

[jinxy72]

could be a faulty card ... i had an r4 card ( original as i bought it from a reputable computer spares company ive used for years ) and it wouldnt work at all ... got 3 at the same time and only 1 was faulty

[mcdexsta]

hello all, i had the same menu problem and now i've got the card to load but it now comes up with a long error but essentially reads "application halted!!
please refer [/moonshi2/logbuf.txt]

i would be grateful to those who can point me in the right direction!

cheers

mcdexsta:stupid:

[mickydibble]

Start again: format mem card ,re-install correct firmwares,add game.not a new one for test purpose use game u know works

[boourns]

sweeet thank you so much

[jcherry]

having the same problem with my 'original' r4 card. hopefully having posted this i can download the working kernal file

[dangerousperson98]

I am Going to get this hope it works though:manutop::manutop::manutop:

[Charliee]

Hi, I'm having the same problem as OP x.x although I haven't found a solution. I've tried like a dozen of different kernels/firmwares from different r4 sites but all of them doesn't work for me at all. I just end up getting a Menu? screen. *sigh* I'm sure I don't have a R4i since my card does not have the "i" on it but I don't know, I'll try the links listed in this thread after I gain some privileges xD

And I'm also starting to go crazy over this as well, I've spent almost a whole day figuring this out Q_Q;

Thanks~

EDIT: Okay so I've downloaded R4i English V1.12b and it worked but now I just get the forever loading sign =w =; ...now what? ><
EDIT2: Downloaded R4i English V1.20b and it works!!! Yay! Well I haven't really tried it out yet but hopefully I don't run into any more trouble...

[eaffy]

Thanks for this, gonna give it a try now.

[gypsdad]

I have downloaded everything and nothing works yet Do i need to un zip files first or save them directly onto r4 and do i need to down load a game first.

I am a complete novice at this so I may have downloaded the wrong things anway

Just try the 1.20b I uploaded to downloads,unzip it then copy the/all folders etc... to root of card overwriting any files

[cunny]

For firmware use this site
http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/

Thing is, with the R4/R4i cards there are many clones. So if you not sure what 1 to use you will have to try them all.

For those with this card
R4i SDHC Revolution for NDSi/NDSL/NDS (http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/indexe.asp)
Instal the firmware, if you get the menu, but the roms fail to load, try changing the date on the DSI main menu (not within the DSI card) This should cure it.

hiii

how install the software fames engine on nintendo dsi because thios one mark please upgrade firmware.

:party :

Set your date back a month or so on your ds then

[stuk]

The date problem is with your last firmware update if the card is an a original you will need to download the latest which is V1.25b.Hope this helps

[zeggy23]

I fall in the same boat as everyone...sigh... i have one original R4 card from a few years ago....and a new one which is not working with anything :(

start your own thread with:
cards you have.
type of ds you have.
problems you have.

help is available... :)

[dadyrabbit]

yeah so i the same issues when i updated my kernel, and then i tried using a different micro card and still get either the red box with menu in it or fake card prompt.

both those faults mean you are using the wrong firmware :)

[niko-time]

Having so much trouble with this fricking R4 Upgrade SDHC card which I bought a couple of years ago and am now trying to use again. I assume the ones purchased from r41-sdhc.com (http://www.r41-sdhc.com) are fake? Figures

[barrowmanandrew]

any r4 sdhc card is fake,
r4 did not make any card capable of using sdhc cards...

your card is probably a clone of dstt card...

[Paulus76]

Only worked if I set the date to 30\12\2000, small price to pay!

[manolamiao]

also my r4 ge is giving message in red "menu?" I bought 1 year ago, about 4 months ago it started to give this message.... already not solved!!!!

[manolamiao]

solved!!!! thanks to Paulus 76!!!!! date changed and nds' working!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mickydibble]

have this problem hope the link works thanks for help

All the answers are here on DK.....and if there not ? ask away! Start a thread with your question...
That's the best way...the date issue,fw issues,card issues etc etc ,.... Have been done and solved ....search the areas you want ie:ds

Ok .....so if you can answer somebody's question . DO it. That's what this site is :)

[owly84]

i contacted the web site they said it was to do with me not having the right date set on my ds
i now have it working thank you everyone for all ur help xx

seems like an odd issue. do i put the current dat or a previous date?

[owly84]

lol! it says not to ask this question

[owly84]

I've uploaded my working R4i English V1.14b in the d/l section.Hope this gets you going..Digital Kaos - Downloads - R4i English V1.14b for R4 SDHC Upgrade (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/ds/21/r4i-english-v1-14b-r4-sdhc-upgrade-1100/)



This works. i set my date to the release date and it works great.:goodpost:

[ampersand]

Just posting so I can have a go at MickyDibble's 1.20b firmware.

EDIT
So I am getting the NDS system date error. Does anyone know when it's release date was? This version seems to be working better than any of the others.

pproblem solved.

[ziggy50]

This seems to be the latest info for the r4 sdhc which I have just bought. Fingers crossed!

[ziggy50]

Yay! It worked! I had to change the date on my DS, & then it worked. Does this mean I need an update? If so where do I find the updates? Not that the wrong date really bothers me.
Thanks guys.:top:
