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.

I lose my nintendo micro sd card and all of my nds games were there. I bought a new micro sd card for my nintendo ds, and downloaded new games. When I tried to play it, the nintendo says: "No...

First before you can use the memory card on your DS lite you have to first use the DS lite to format the memory card before putting games this ensures that the game would recognise whatever games you then put on the memory card.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

Nothing sees my R4DS card!

Yes,

First you need to make sure you format your Micro-SD card in Windows to FAT32 format. Then load the latest software files onto your micro-sd card. You can get these from http://www.r4ds.cn/download/r4ds.html

Then in the root directory of the MicroSD card, make a folder called "Games" (without the ""s) and place your .nds backup files/ROMs in the Games folder.

When i turned on my ds, it says "couldn't find ds_MENUdat

It sounds like you need to figure out exactly what kind of DS card you have. Check out NintendoDSCard.com's DS Card Setup Guide which should sort you out.

Also, I recommend only buying genuine cards since a lot of the fakes tend to break quite easily. Maybe from dscardworld.com or from nds-gear.com if you're in Canada/Europe since their international shipping's a bit cheaper

Good luck!

New tt card

Hi,

I have several of these 'TT Cards' for my kids.

Firstly put the micro sd card in the sd card adapter and format it in your PC. When you go to format please slect restore default settings and then click format. (That is ofcourse if you have a micro sd card? If not a 2gb one will hold about 20 games)

Then open the location that you sd card is E: etc and create a new folder called Games. This is where all the .nds files you would have downloaded will be put.

You then need to drag and drop the latest firmware for the TT card onto the sd card in the PC. You can get i here:
http://www.neoflash.com/go/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=219&Itemid=27

Just download and unzip. If you need it winrar is a free download.

Ok, after you have done all of that you need to take the sd card out of the PC, put it into the tt card, put the tt card into the ds, turn on the DS and let it start up.

If all is done properly you should see a nice TT card menu on the screen!!!

Now turn off DS, remove tt card, take sd card out of tt card, place micro sd card into adapter and then into pc, open sd card location, open games folder and just drag and drop downloaded nds game files there.

Please remember only .nds files can be played on a flash cart of which a tt card is one.

Also look for a ds rom trimmer tool on google. Will make the game a lot smaller so you can get more on the card.

Hope this helps.

Anyproblems please message me back.

Best Wishes,

Karlos
