Hi Cagg,
This problem is likely because the latest Nintendo based firmware
doesn't actually support old R4 and fake R4i cards, only very specific
R4i cards support it (namely the official R4i 3DS). You can probably
swap your R4 card
for a newer card like the Acekard 2i, Supercard DSTWO, Cyclo DS
iEvolution, or frankly any of a number of cards that will work on the
new DSi XL and 3DS consoles. I would personally recommend the Supercard
DSTWO, though, I use it myself. It also has GBA emulation built-in which
is kind of awesome if you want to play older games. The Acekard 2i is cheaper, but doesn't have the GBA functionality.
I'm not sure where you're based but if you're in the US, use
"dsmagazine" as a voucher (I found this on an online DS news site) for
DSCardWorld.com, they're authorised retailers of the Acekard and
Supercard - I think also a few others. NDS-gear.com is probably better
if you live in the Europe or in the UK though since they have cheaper
shipping there. They still stock authentic cards so you should be all
right either way.
Good luck, and please kindly upvote my answer if you've found it useful! :-)
