It sounds like you updated your Nintendo DSi console and your R4i card
is no longer working. The best thing to do is to buy a card that works
with the newest 1.4.3 firmware. Cards that do this include:
Check out R4DSRevolutionCards.com (not a shop) for information about R4 cards / R4i cards
in general, they explain the differences between loads of different
cards. My favourite is the Supercard DSTWO though. I recommend
DSCardWorld.com as a shop but NDS-Gear.com apparently has some good
reviews too.
You may well be using a fake R4i card, and you probably updated the software on your
Nintendo DS 1.4.1 and now it won't read it. This is normal for most clone
cards since they can't actually be updated to use Nintendo's latest
firmware.
The real R4i card has manufacturers website www.r4i-sdhc.com, NOWHERE
ELSE. Check yours to see if it is this website. If it isn't, and you
need a genuine one in the US/Canada, use DSCardWorld.com who are a preferred seller of the authentic ones. They also list NDS-Gear.com but I think they mainly do UK/European orders.
Good luck! Please upvote my answer if I've been helpful :-) Sorry about the possible bad news! :-(
It's possible that the R4i Card you have is a fake (the genuine one has r4i-sdhc.com on the box, note the hyphen!), and if you've updated your console to the
latest 1.4.2 or 1.4.3 firmwares it's unlikely to work. Check out R4 DS Revolution Cards at www.r4dsrevolutioncards.com (info site) to differentiate between different versions of R4i cards and make sure you buy a genuine one!
A lot of the fakes will indeed work when you buy them but as soon as you update your console they'll stop working. Make sure you buy a real one in the future to avoid frustration!
download this firmware http://www.r4i.cn/download-en.htm and empty your micro sd card of everything beside the 4 game files. then copy over all files and programs directly to your sd card. then insert it back into your r4i and your r4i into your ds. after you turn it on it should go to a menu screen after you tap on the Alex rider, Storm breaker thq. then select your game to play it.
NINTENDO HAVE PUT A STOP ON ALL R4 CARDS COS WHEN YOU LINK YOUR DS TO THE INTERNET YOU GET A STRING SENT TO YOUR DS SO NOW YOUR STUCK COS IT WILL NOT WORK ANY MORE YOU ARE NOT ALONE THERES THOUSANDS OF YA
Recently, R4 cards have been malfuntioning. It has something to do with the programming of more recent ds games. If you want to play newer games, you're SOL. Sorry. You can continue to play older games, however.
That's the game that the company chose so that the ds thinks it's a legit ds game and doesn't reject it. as r4 isn't nintendo certified, the ds wouldn't run it otherwise.
