Nintendo DS doesn't recognise Micro SD card

I dont think the ds is capable of reading sd cards that big. Put it on your computer and reformat your card with FAT32 and then try it. if that doesn't work, try 4gb or 2gb.

Make sure you have the correct kernel loaded onto the card. Also some r4 cards only accept up to a limited amount of gb's. I think mine only can hold up to a 2gb sd micro card. When I first used it I was using a 4gb card and it would stick on the loading screen until I loaded everything onto a 2gb card .... hope this helps

put the sd micro card into your computer with a USB reader and open to read the files, then click on games and see what games are loaded. You can download ds lite games from the internet and use drag and drop to load the load the games onto the sd card.

please defrag the sony sandisk with windows defrag .
it will load after a defrag, if this doesnt work , check the integrity of the gaming software by nintendo.

also the format of the nintendo system may be fat 16, and your 4gb may be ntfs or fat 32. so this will not work if its fat 32 or ntfs system
check this into my computer ... right click disk managment
it will display the file system format.

lol really like u can. you can buy cards that let you do that but you need the rigth one and the one thats lets you actually play the ds game which can have problems due to the cards limits.. look up r4 but even then ds games wont always run and wont run fast... just mod a psp then you dont have to buy psp games.. the psp is so much better and can run psp games from its memory cards.. snes nes sega playstation one and more [girl says]it plays music and super nintendo..do me

instead of copying and paste send the files to the micro sd thats what i do no problems at all

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.

You can find the manual here:

i had the same problem, my 2 gb would work ok but not my 4gb i have heard that the 4gb wont work on the older r4's, so i bought a ds Lite R4 Revolution III (Version 3) from amazon.co.uk and it came with evrything you need and it worked great the address is https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_/275-1618189-4849908?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=DS+Lite+R4+Revolution+III+%28Version+3%29&x=14&y=15

When you say, "Keeps Loading Up..." what do you mean?

If it boots as if they were no N5 card, then I would suggest the N5 card or Micro SD card isn't seated properly and making contact with all the game slot contacts.
