Hi this is my first post so please be gentle...

I have a R4i v1.4 card sdhc--ive read there is no updates for this but has anyone got a link to any old software for this--i made the mistake of deleting the old then realising cant get a new--not clever i know--any help appreciated--the box does have a website but ive had no joy with the software ive tried keep getting stuck with word loading on it when i turn on--i am using a 2gb micro sd card- not sdhc card not sure if this matters--thanks

what are you tryingh to use it on dsi or dslite? (if dsi what version firmware is it running?)

Thanks for reply

The card came in a red box with R4 sdhc across the front-the web address is r4i-sdhc.com--ive been on here and tried all the different firmware still get stuck on loading screen??

The card itself looks like a normal R4 card but has an i next to the R4 logo and has v1.4 wrote on it in a yellow like star...

that card should work with dslite.

1. format your sd card (fat 32), it is recommended to use a formatting tool.
you can find one here. Digital Kaos - Downloads - sd formatting tool (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/ds/21/sd-formatting-tool-1459/)

2. download the firmware from your card from here (http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/R4i%20V1.47b%20English.zip).
extract the files then open the folder.

you should find 3 folders and a file, copy the four items to root of sd card. do not put them in a folder.

see how you go with that.. :)

if it still don't work then try a diffrent sd card if possible....

its one of two things then m8.

that firmware is the correct fitmware for your card and card should work on dslite.

so that means either card is ~~~~ed or sdcard is ~~~~ed.

have you tried a diffrent sd card?
