Hello I have a Nintendo DS N5 card but every time i turn the ds on it is staying on the loading screen and wont go any further i am also using a 2gb tf card. Some one please help as soon as possible thank you
Found solution to R5:
download latest firmware (1.19 at present) and unzip
format MicroSD to Fat or Fat32
Copy firmware onto MSD in this order ONE BY ONE !!!!!!
This step is very important!!!!
1. DS_MENU.DAT
2. _AXMENU.DAT
3. _DS_MSHL.DNS
4. _SYSTEM_ folder
5. moonshl folder
Then load your .nds files into the root.
I've had absolutely no problems with this card so far and if
installed correctly it works brilliantly!!!

Eh you won't believe this but I had the same problem until I went to a Canadan web site linFox Domain:: Nintendo DS Downloads Page look for verson 27.1 English download unzip and put all onto SD card and hey presto! it seems all other versons have been sabotaged! hey it only took me 4 days and 20 hrs of searching!

The problem is now finally solved.
It was a firmware problem.
You have to download the new 1.18 version from dsn5.com (but it must be the new 1.18 from 07/05/2008, if you downladed 1.18 before that date, the file is corrupted too).
Try it, it's confirmed by n5 team.

Ok,i finally found out the solution for this problem.i believe the problem is caused by the player not exiting the game correctly the first time it is played.when the *.sav game is created by dsn5 for the corresponding game on the microsd card If you shut down the DS or fail to exit the game correctly(befor saving,that is), it fails to terminate the *.SAV file. I belive it is this that corrupts the micro SD card, requiring it to be reformatted .
I suggest loading one game at a time on to the SD card, play it, successfully create the *.SAV file and then backup the game and *.SAV file to your PC. Repeat this for all games until you have a *.SAV file for each required game. Then reload all of the games with the *.SAV files back on to your micro SD card.
Remember to backup the *.SAV files to your PC after playing on the DS. This way, you'll have a restore point for each game if if happens again on a new game.
this worked for comicbook reader for ds too.

I had the same problem, my card got stuck on loading. Try to format the card and install the old software, v1.16, it worked for me. I had v1.17 first, but it did not work for long.

I had major problems, but tried the very first solution an it worked first time. Thank you!

I have the same problem to this. My father and I found that formatting it and copying everything all over again helps. But every once in a while it corrupts. So basically, the only real (and annoying) solution we are currently doing is making a backup in the computer so everytime it corrupts, we just copy everything all over again. It's annoying but it helps. Only disadvantage is that you lose the progress you had after your last backup. TT__TT

Dude like with every ROM user, you need something that can open and work the ROM's. you have to download the ds n5 menu. im not sure of the exact site ( i borrowed my friends i copied off his menu onto my computer) and voila! it works! as long as you have a folder marked "games" and there are ds roms in it, then you can play them ok? i hope this was helpful.

Forget all the muppets on the net saying this and that, just download kernal 1.21 and put on your memory card and try again. It works!!!

Hi guys, i had the same problem til i went to a french site which has the proper version. First format the micro sd card fat32 - i chose default setting for the byte size.
then goto this site Which google has kindly translated to english and click the N5 - ver 1.27 link and DL it. Unzip files and copy them to the root directory of the micro card. Plug into your N5 card and pop into the DS. Should now work. Just drag and drop games to your micro card to get them to work properly. Hope this helps

I found out that soft reset corrupts the SD card. Happened to me twice already. So from now on I'm just going to turn it off and on again.
Posted on Apr 16, 2008
I have the same problem too.If your confused why is it stuck in the loading page,it is because your ds card is overloaded.The better way to solve it is to go back to the shop were you bought it and im sure they can tell whats the problem.dont worry there will be no fine because it is a problem of many files downloaded to your dsn5 card

Hi I had the same problem. I used the mem card that i previously used in my R4DS. when i deleted all system files and put the new files Version 1.17 on there it stil did not work.
Solution for me was a fresh format fat32 and then put the 1.17 files on there.
Posted on Apr 12, 2008
Format the micro card to fat32, then copy the files that came in the cd. or go to http://www.dsn5.com/index.files/en/index.htm and download it.

How do you unzip and extract with a winrar file?
Posted on Aug 06, 2009
Likely solution 19 i also believe the problem is caused by the player not exiting the game correctly the first time it is played.when the *.sav game is created by dsn5 for the corresponding game on the microsd card If you shut down the DS or fail to exit the game correctly(befor saving,that is), it fails to terminate the *.SAV file.
My solution is delete the last *.sav game and .nds file played,for me it gave certain

I had the same problem tonight, after it came up on the screen the first time, I just switched it off and back on, then it said the “ds_menu.dat” file is missing. I wonder if it’s possible that I can just download the “ds_menu.dat” some where to put to the ds card to solve this.
"Nintendo ds N5 card stuck on loading screen"
Okay, i've downloaded the new version 1.25 software form the site : http://www.ndslr4.com and copyed everything in
1. DS_MENU.DAT
2. _AX MENU.DAT
3. _DS_MSHL.DNS
4. _SYSTEM_ folder
5. moonshl folder
and made my own GAMES folder but it still didn't work when i tried again on the DS. WHY? please help me.
wont go past loading
n5 2 gig
i can't opening the n5
Same thing....I've tried over and over, but nothing works. I think I'm going to send it back.
.I have this problem too, but in a different way.
My N5 works with the 1.18 version software, but it doesn't with the newer ones!
If I put the new 1.28 software on it, it displays the "Loading" screen.
I format it and everything, but it only works with version 1.18.
i cant reload n5 firmware
where can i get the 1.18 n5 software from and the menu
iv to spend literally hours getting the new n5 to work for my ds and the software instructions read load all the files from 1.27 file then it states dont load all the files it wont work what sense is that thinking of returning it.
