That was the link I used 2 weeks ago althouugh it is showing out of stock now!

[barrowmanandrew]

looks very dodgy lol

ok,
format your sd card (fat32)

then download your firmware (http://r4ids.com/download/PLUS/r4i_gold_plus_v2_2.rar).

extract the files and copy the files/folders to root of sd card.

so they show up like this:

102283

this is not a card i am familier with,
looks like a cheap clone, but according to site, this should work....

[Dapple68]

Tried that but download is just an RAR file. No Moonshl,dat etc. Do I need to reload the earlier download aswell.
Sorry for being a pest.

[Dapple68]

Ignore that last one realised what a rar file is. I'll be back when I've tried it.

[Dapple68]

Andrew you are an absolute star. Worked spot on.
There's a pint waiting for yo if I eer hapen to bump into yo.
Cheers
Dave.

Hi! I have a R4i Gold Plus Deluxe. When I copy the files to my 2Gb or my 8Gb micro sd card and plug it into the DSi, I can't see anything. When I use the burner to make sure I have the newest firmware nothing happens. Any idea? Thanks
