I Have been having alot of prblems with the R4 updates. I wish they would just put out a new on.

The R4 is no longer in production, Just clones that have jumped on the R4s bandwagon

[slo6663]

So even if it is not in production will they still be updating the firmwares. I have been to there site and i see they have not updated any since April lol.

I would very much doubt it, I think 1.18 will be the last done. Its really not hard to patch them with a working arm7 file, its all in the OP's 1st post.

Its either that or buy a clone or even a dstt cart, ?5 will get you one.

I have this problem with my r4 it games me a Sav.file not found error . Do I need to creat it?? Or will the r4 do it itself. Also could it be that my r4's firmware is'nt updated. I tried to d/l the patch you have posted on this site but it wont grant me access Please help :D thanks :jiggin:

You just need to wait for forum to update and state you have made a post, it dpesnt usually take long, then you can download, it will all be explained once you get the file, its very easy.

Was this problem fixed with the R4 1.18 firmware?

Coz I've never seen it once.

[wvsingerguy]

Most of my games give me this error lately

I still use the 1.17. No problems whatsoever.

[Boxster]

Hopefully this works and my daughter will be delighted as she has been receiving this error lately.

did you say this is your tutorial as in you wrote it etc

[Eleanor]

Thank's for that, still can't make head nor tail's of it. Will I have to patch every game from now on (if I can ever do it)

[nudels]

excellent! does anyone know of a way to emulate modules? such as bypassing opera browser. so as nott to need memory pack

[woodster79]

downloaded a game professor leyton and the curious village,
popped it on the ole R4 and came up with save data error, so had a browse round and tried the arm7 fix through DSlazy and another GUI, when this happens and the fixed version is done the file has shrunk to 72.7mb instead of 128mb it started off at.
curious asto how why it does this and the game still don't work, using firmware version 1.18 from r4ds site

[jason1980]

does this work on the GTA chinatown wars?

[ricky_uk1]

does this work on the GTA chinatown wars?

no but there is another version on the net (infact a few) that are sorted so they work on all carts

[kurz]

does it works with TT ?

[tabateban]

i do not know what to do with the R4. it's not working

[majpat0]

just like to say thanks it worked first time for club penguin

[thepezman]

Here I thought there was no solution and my cart was useless :)

Perfect!

[drake]

I am getting the error savfile not founded after copying all contents of my original SD card to a larger SD card.

[magicalivy]

[Niklaw]

Going to give this a try. :) Hope it works.

EDIT: Just tried it out with Magician's Quest - Mysterious Times and it worked perfectly! Thanks so much for the tutorial! :D

[jaimze75]

Hey,

Am new trying to fix my daughters DSI r4 SDHC says savfile not found? Any ideas

[grubshaw]

I have the same problem, i wish i had looked into buying the r4 over the M3 Real... /facepalm

[big-hol]

alot of the newer games that iv been gettin have been giving me problems, think the manufacturers of these games are puttin a little more security on them these days so in turn alot harder to patch, me personally i dont have a clue a rely on other people who do know these things....... so a big thank you to every1 that puts the effort in to making these games work for us!!!!!!

[KYMMYG]

Hi I'v had mine for about 3 year and loaded loads o games on at the time all NDS.files not played for a long time now the only files are rar. and mine's won't play them. please help :bawling::embarassed::embarassed:

you need to extract the files m8 a rar file is a compressed file all you need to do is get yourself a program called winrar
once you have winrar you just open the rar file with winrar choose extract files then once this is done you will now have probably about several different things like a reedme and maybe the covers but you should have the .nds file there also this is your game just drag that into your games folder on your sd card and your done
:wink:

[ssssteve]

I'm about to give this a try as well. I had a card that was working fine, then after installing a game gives me this error on all games.

[afroboy2626]

my diner dash flo on the go game didn't work. can patch repair this error?

[pmroscoe]

having my first play with R4 card and having same problem, savfile not found

[Bigeasy47]

I have the same problem ' save file not found ' can anyone help?

[Sinist3r]

does anybody know if this fix will work on r4i card

[BritishDragon]

Can we have a comprehensive answer here please from the thread starter or other knowlegable chap or chap-ess?

The links in the first post appear dead. For me, like many others they just lead us to a blank white screen. I know what rar and zip files are and I know what to do with them so please don't assume I'm thick and don't know how to save them to desktop and unrar etc. I have tried firefox and IE, both with no joy.

If indeed the links are dead, can someone with a bit of nouse, please post where these items can be found (inc the tutorial which is a must for us noobs)

Ta!

[goofyxj]

Will this fix work for Bookworm?

[stewartthemole]

Had this problem last year with the save file issue using an N5 and discovered by accident that an Acekard 2i plays all the games that were giving me the error using the bog standard firmware in a bog standard DS Lite so I assume the firmware for the new Acekard 2i is written for the newer games in the DSi.

Hope this helps as it worked for me and an Acekard 2i is only about a tenner if u use ur old micro SD card

Stu

Hello: I am new to this so please bear with me. I have the red R4i and have downloaded the latest kernal files and have placed them on the root of my SD drive. The drive is formatted under FAT32 also.

Games folder has been created and also placed on the root. However, when I attempt to load the game I get the Save file error. Please help me as this is my daughters birthday gift.

[forensicmoomin]

usin r4 v1.18 but when i tried to play ben10 for my son i got error durin save turn off and reinsert card help!!!!!

[mickydibble]

Firstly r4 is old and new fireware wont be available so you won't beplaying many new games successfully get a new card!
Or if you know precisely what card you have search for your firmware, it is probably a firmware issue and there are many in downloads section here on dk. Or search your card ie: r4i,acekard2i,supercard ect...they have their own sites.

Cards can play about 96%games,sometimes some work some don't . Best advice is keep firmware/card upto date.
Like I said basic r4's are old and can only get worse

also probably human ERROR lol

[salt]

help! looks like i have same problem as everybody else. I get 'sav file not founded when i try and load a game. We have 2 ds consoles for the kids and i have just bought new r4 cards for them both but understand it must be a programming issue as the problem occurs with both cards! i have the latest firmware on them. is it a game issue?

[Felito]

I can't seem to get an answer for the Savfile Not Found problem. I'm trying to get the tutorial downloaded and it does nothing. How do I get that tutorial?

[barrowmanandrew]

there are probs with some new games, try an old game first, see if that works, then post results

[RiFo]

I just upgrade to 1.23 on a R4i because it stopped work after the 12 of april. Whatever game I try I get back Filesave not founded!
Do you think I need that Patch DS Games.zip to fix the problem or shall I try something else?

For any one that is still strugleing and potentualy given up

I was stuck with pokemon platinum and by simply using
panasonic SD formater

simply quick format the sd card with this and it all works spot on ensure all the files are backed up onto your pc then format the drive then once finished copy all the files back on

:devil:Hope this helps:wink:

[dash22]

I tried to format the sd card and then put back on the games. But it still doesnt work . R4i card

[jamesanddavid]

How can you run a patch on game? Is it a firmware update or how does it get repaired. Is there matching firmware for the DS itself? Thx.
