    Question R4 Upgrade - Don't know which firmware needed?

    I am trying my best to help a colleage at work, she bought an R4 card, when it came it says Upgrade on it. I have bog standard r4 card and I'm using v.1.16 on my r4 cards, I tried to load this on to hers and it stuck with loading... on the top screen. I have tried various other programs r4III_v3.08 and 3.07 which I read about on a website. When I use 3.08 loading goes off but screen stays blank. When I use 3.07 loading stays on screen.

    Does anyone have any help or advise for me, I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks

    I have been using 1.18 but some of my newer games (e.g. Age of Empires Mythology) cant find the save file... :S
    I checked on the compatability list and it says it needs 1.19u

    It isnt on the R4 website though...

    Thanks,

    An R4 upgrade is Version III. The 3.08 or 3.07 should work. Try R4,R4DS????????*??-Revolution for DS-NDS,NDSL,???,?????????. Thats where i get mine.

    Try this if you are still struggling....

    http://linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/...18_English.zip

    .... as you are now probably aware clone cards are not usually interchangeable with one anothers firmware, but I think that link is the correct FW for the 'update' clones.

    on the R4 there should be a web link try this link R4i SDHC Revolution for NDSi/NDSL/NDS and you must format the micro sd card before puting new Kernals on it so back up you files in case of mishap
