I just received an r4 from my friend, and I'm unable to download games onto the r4. first the games weren't showing up when I would put it into the DS, so I tried to delete all the other games on the r4, but now it tells me there is not enough memory on my r4.

Format it and re-install the OS GUI. Then put the unzipped NDS file in the game directory and make sure you have a large enough miniSD. Also try taking it out and putting it back in a few times, sometimes that is all they need.

    what is the OS GUI? and how do I format it and re-install it?

  • Anonymous Dec 30, 2010

    Operating System, just the whole firmware in general snatch it from the R4 website or torrent. Just load it onto the minisd and when you boot up the DS it will do its thing.

On my r4i ver 1.3, i was unable to play many games as most of the games when loading comes out with a white screen. is the reason due to the games download being corrupted? i am able to play some game...

it is beacuse the games are more recent/newer than the r4 version 1.3 so it cant support thewm, all you need 2 do is go onto the r4 offical site and download the newest r4 version and then the games will/ should work fine :)
Hope this helped!

New R4 card wont work !!!!

First make sure you have the correct kernel for the card. Go to the website where you purchased it and download the current firmware. Next copy all of that onto the micro sd card. Build folders in you sd card, very simple right click...new folder... enter... then label them correctly .. Label one movies... music... games.. etc... then put your files into the correct folders.. Another common error is that people use to high of a sd card.... some r4 cards only accept up to a 2gb micro card If you use one that is too big it will stick on the loading screen ... If none of this works reload all the software onto the card and start from scratch... hope this helps

When I turn on my r4 (2 gigs) there is this weird

put ur sd card onto the computer and make sure the games are still on the sd card, then wipe ur sd card after puttging the games into a separate file on ur compputer.

Make sure they are in .nds format if not they wont work , then downlaod new r4 software and put it onto ur sd card, then make a folder called "games" and put the games back on in the folder called games.

Also if the problem occurred after u have recently downloaded a new game i would delete the new game cos it may have a virus
:) hope this helps.!

R4 Problem loading error

Get this file extract the file with winrar, and copy the files to the DS card. The file structure should have is:
Files
  • _DS_MENU.DAT
  • _DS_MSHL.NDS
Folders
  • _system_
  • moonshl
You should now put your .nds files onto the root of the card also, and hopefully all should work OK for you

Unable to read sd card

Hi grecko, Hope this helps, I've just bought a 4gb memory card for my daughter's ds so she can fit 58-60 games instead of 28 on a 2gb memory card and have downloaded and put a file onto the memory card before loading games onto it.

Supercard DS one have a site where you can download the files you need and it gives help. Guess it's the same if using an R4 supercard too but I bought an R4 card for partner preloaded with software.
