Hi Louise,

The newest Nintendo update (1.4.1 or 1.4.2) blocks most flash cards on the DSi and DSi XL consoles so it's quite likely you've fallen victim to this. Check out DSCardWorld.com's blog post about it here:

http://www.dscardworld.com/blog/2010/09/24/dsi-1-4-1-firmware-fixes-for-acekard-2i-ezflash-vi-m3i-zero/

You can probably buy a card that works with the 1.4.1 update like the Acekard 2i, EZFlash Vi or M3i Zero. However, make sure you only buy the real one as fake/clone cards can't be updated when Nintendo releases a new firmware (it makes them cheaper to produce that way, which is why they don't do it). I recommend grabbing them from DSCardWorld.com itself or nds-gear.com if you're in Canada or Europe, since their international shipping rates are a bit cheaper.

Good luck!

A little google can go a long way pal ;D but other than that, I can't help you too much. It seems that I am unfamiliar with "r4" and even with DSi problems.
Hope this helps ^_^

I have a R4 upgade card that wont work in my dsi but will work in ds lite it comes up error has occured on page please press and hold power button and check manual
sorry to say but you need an R4i for dsi, an ordinary R4 wont work. also if you have connected your dsi to the internet and installed the system update/s nothing will work except for original games.
hope this helps.

Hi when i updated my dsi and then went on my r4i it came up with the following message: an error has occured. press and hold the power button to turn the system off. please refer to the nitendo DSI...
Hi the update has caused the dsi to refuse the r4 card nintendo have put some data in the update that stops you using the r4 cards so your not going to be able to use it, you may be able to do the following depending on what dsi you have got

which kind of r4i do you have?
If you have a R4i golden or R4i-SDHC(red), then you have to buy a new card for your dsi , because two of the cards are un-upgreadeable.
If you have a Hyper-r4i, R4i_CN or R4Ui , then you can download an updater progommen to update your r4i to fit the DSi V1.4 firmware.
Here is a list for Flash cart update:
http://www.4coolday.com/more_news&news_id=25.html

hopefully you can get it sorted you will either need a new r4 card that is able to work with the latest update or follow the instrucions on the links above if your dsi is one listed above

let me know if you need further assistance ok

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks

That doesn't work,
Basically the DSI update has blocked the R4 slot card, nothing you can do now!
No matter what firmware you place onto the card the blocking device is built into the DSI memory, I've tried formatting/changing dates/other slot cards. no good.
Afraid to say the DSI is no longer compatable with the slot cards except for the authentic cards.

R4: An error has occured
The DSi has a firewall. The DSi blocks your card. Not a new SD, but a new R4, mate.

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.
