There are NO regions with the DS. ***-EU-US all work with each other.
The DSi on the other hand, does have "some" region settings.

Did it ever work? Does it have a memory card in it. Does the memory card have the R4 software loaded on it. If you are trying in a DSi it wont work. If your memory card is larger than 2GB it wont work.

Hi there

with your r4 card it may read like how it reads dvd's with a ds its like a region code. depending on what region your ds is and what ever region the r4 card is you dont get anything if they are totally different. some r4 cards usually correspond to the proper region code or close enough to it. if thats isnt the case then you have a problem with the ds card slot... i hope this was of some use :3

My son has an R4 card for his DS, he just DSIxl will it work?
The old R4 cards for the DS do not work in the DSi due to different firmware. You will need an R4DSi. Legal Disclaimer :- Please do not use R4 cards for playing illegaly downloaded computer games :)

DS does not read my R4..says There is no card inserted HELP?!?!
Listen this will work. TRUST ME. If you DS says "no ds card detected" but it will detect regular games, there is nothing wrong with the ds or the card. Take a piece of paper, cut it the size of the R4 card (a little longer) then fold it over and place it on the R4 card (same side as sticker on R4card) then put them both in at the same time. This will push the R4 card closer to the pins and it will work. keep trying. Took 3 tries for me and it worked. The idea here is to push the R4 card closer to the side and therefore making a better connection. THIS WILL FIX IT.

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.
