My R4 Card will work on my friends but not in mine

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to make my R4 card work in my DS. It works fine in my friends DS but will not work in mine, however, her old 4GB R4 card will work in mine. What software or how do I solve this problem. I bought my R4 card from R4i.co.uk

First off, it doesn't sound like you have a manual: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=41279
Second, you'll want to grab the proper firmware from http://r4ds.cn
Thirdly: Theres a good chance that the contacts in the problem DS are dirty, miht be a good time to do some NES-styled maintinence(blow the dust out) :P
Lastly, the r4 is the second worst cart out these days(it's got nothing but fakes and clones, as the real r4 essentially died off over a year ago, the worst being the TTDS for its random quality and fuse failures), you could do better and get something better, like an AceKard 2(it's a good cart, ~15$), or a CycloDS(though the cyclo is the most expensive cart out, but its features are said to be worth it; ~50-60$) The R4 has certain issues with certain games, often requiring patching or some degree of hacking.

R4 card getting stuck at "loading"

it is probably because your sister has a different version of R4. They are the same things, but your sister might have an earlier version than you do. This is because, some versions dont work with some ds lites while others do.

Hi A friend gave me an R4 card with games on it for my son. It seemed to freeze after a while and now its doing it all the time on all of his games. Could it be the r4 card has done some damage to his...

does it still work with original games if so you may need to update the firmware on the r4 card if not then take the ds back while its still in warrentry as there is no way they can tell what cartridge you've put in the slot1 part of the ds as all the firmware is on the sd card and never transfered to the ds

R4 card just says loading in my ds and sd card works on other r4

Try re-loading the frimware on the SD card or loading a newer version. I have found that some firmware does not work on some R4 cards. Has this R4 ever worked? Also inspect the R4 for damage, my nephews R4 wasn't working and the problem was a bite mark on the unit

My R4i card comes up with the error message when i try to load it

If you updated you DSI firmware to 1.4, nintendo have stopped the use of flash cards in the uodate, i got my r4 through the post 4 days ago and i had already updated to 1.4 and get the same message. So far i haven found any help with rolling back to 1.3 or getting an update for the r4i software to work. Lets hope it happens soon!

In short you DSi is Not broken, its just been updated to 1.4.

My NDS don't read the card.I download the software and games correctly but when I put the R4 with the Micro SD in the DS the DS tell me that don't have any card.

you either have a naff fake card or your ds has a prob with the pins inside that read the games, if you try ur ds with another game and it works ok then its the r4 card at fault, try it few more times then try return it 4 refund, i had couple duds too thats y i use dstt cards from www.dealextreme. cost less than 5 gbp! and free delivery and all mine work. good luk.

Ds does not recognise R4

Try eject, blow into the port then reinsert. There is a possibility that your ds has blocked the r4 from being used on that ds.
