A loading screen freeze usually means that there's the wrong version of the software installed. You have to make sure it was made for your specific model of R4, and there are a few out there.

The R4i Neo is a fairly unique clone, but unfortunately it's not a good one. Once you track down the correct software try it again. If it still doesn't work, then you might be better off investing in a better card like the iEdge .

If you're looking to get genuine cards for your ds (there are fakes out there), take a look here, http://www.dscardworld.com. I managed to find this site after I got burned at a few others. Loved having my emails responded to because I had loads of questions, and they were quick to ship it. US based support and shipping I believe.

Hello Pmkfc,

Try the latest menu firmware from the manufacturer website. The R4i Gold, hasn't been the best card in awhile though. The cards made by the R4 SDHC team tend to be better. If you start running into compatibility issues I might get a new one.

Hi,

I've recently purchased the same R4i with the mario on the box. This R4 apparently comes from a bizarre manufacturer and is really crappy. I've managed to make it work on my DS Lite, though.

I've downloaded the Kernel files on the link below and copied it to the microSD:

http://megaupload.com/?d=A0LD4NLP

This should make it work. However, games will take forever to load/create .sav files (abou 5-10 min).

I would suggest you to attempt get your money back (assuming that is a possibility).

I had the same problem.
download the http://www.r4neo.com/Firmware_upgrade.rar
to upgrade your nds firmware then it will work

make sure you have the correct firmware downloaded and put on the root of the memory stick.
go to the manufacture of the card. the card should have a site listed on the box, or the card itself

it is corrupted whish means it wont work any more srry it happene to near enough everyone

That's illegal.

my advice is do not get any r4 chips plus trhey ellegal

if you have upgraded your software on your wii, your freeloader won't work anymore. Mario carts is written in a way to stop people using programs such as freeloader. Its something called signed trucha, other people will not more. You could try buying a UK mario cart on ebay and trying that. Otherwise, looking into getting it mod chipped to overcome the region barriers. But always buy original games for it
