Hi peeps

Can anyone help me here, im looking to update my R4 (or whichever version it is!).

I have worked out that I do not have a genuine R4 as the firmware from their site freezes on loading. Ive been looking for an alternative (tried yours DiddyDave, no luck, thanks anyway!) but have not found one that works.

On the other hand, I have found an older one (one that doesnt play newer games) that works. The file name i downloaded is RII_v1.18_English.

Unfortunately, my card has no sticker on and ive lost the box. Can anyone work out from the info above which type of firmware i should be using? Im desperate to play GTA Chinatown!

Thanks in advance

HI guys check out my post in "another loading error". It might not help, but then again who knows.

Is there a website address on the card itself???

Hi your card is running the most upto date firmware for your card, however it is a very old not supported anymore, you could have a look here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f64/how-patch-ds-games-save-not-found-error-12352/index9.html or invest in a newer better card . M

you should be able to find firmware for your card here (http://www.r4ds.cn/download/r4ds.html). alot of the newer games will not work with it. if you search hard enough you can find roms already patched, which will work on your card. its a bit of a hit and a miss though....

acekards are supposed to be better than r4 cards.
not tried one myself, but if i was buying a new card, i would give them a go...

how much are acekards? do they work well with dsi?

mickydibble
7th July, 2010, 08:51 PM
Think there about ?18 with a mem card, if they have em but if not they have r4i, etc.....cheap though

barrowmanandrew
7th July, 2010, 10:07 PM
~~~~ that that is cheap....
im thinkin of getting a dsi for the lad and acekard..
im still using a "m3 simly ds card" i have two sd cards one with old and one with new firmware.
i have been able to get every game to work on one or the other of these, but i think it'll be consigned to the bin when dsi comes along...

Hi,

My card just says:

Does this mean I have the old crappy one? Or can I use the 1.30b found here: Digital Kaos - Downloads - R4-UPGRADE REV SDHC kemel download 1.30b (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/ds/21/r4-upgrade-rev-sdhc-kemel-download-1-30b-1468/)

the old crappy one lol lol lol.

by the sounds of it you have an original,
which is the best r4 card available.

if you put the latest woods firmware on it, it will play everything...
Digital Kaos - Downloads - woods 1.21 (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/ds/21/woods-1-21-1483/)

before you start,
back up your sd card,
that way if it doesn't work you can put your card back to what you have now....

ps.
what size micro sd card you using?
original r4 cards can only use microsd cards up to 2 gig...
they do not support sdhc cards....

also,
original r4 cards only work on ds/dslites....

Oh, that's great! I thought having a old card was a bad thing but the opposite (I should've known) is better.

Accept for capacity of course. I tried an 8 gig SDHC, but no luck. The 2 gig cards work.

Thanks for the info. I'll try it right away.

EDIT: Tried it. Works like a charm. Thank you kind sir :)

so it looks like i have the original R4, so I'll try the woods firmware, but would you guys recommend getting the acecard instead? i've got a DS lite, but no plans to upgrade to a DSi anytime soon.

[edit]
works perfectly, thanks a million!

Ur card needs to be dsi compatable your card sounds like it's not for dsi just dslite,also r4 cards can't run more than 2gig mem card. If original r4 then you need ackard 2i or r4i etc

Having problems as I'd thought I'd just be able to use the micro SD card that I have.
... however it is 8GB.

Is there any way of using this? I have noticed folk saying 1 or 2GB cards only.

My R4 cartridge has R4 SDHC Revolution fro DS (NDSL/NDS) on it.
I have a DSlite

I have formatted the sdcard, then I tried both V1.18 and Wood. All I did was Unzip them and copy the contents onto the card. I'm assuiming that is what i'm meant to do.

The instructions I found kept talking about putting them in the root directory. I'm assuming that just means not in a folder.
I haven't added any other folders. Is it essential to have a games folder when testing the firmware?

Thanks in advance.

barrowmanandrew
31st July, 2011, 09:42 PM
if the card says sdhc on it then it is not an original r4 card and the woods firmware wont work.

with original r4 cards you cannot use a sdhc card.

root directry means puttin the files on the sd without putting in any folder

Blackjack Belle
31st July, 2011, 10:31 PM
That helped loads.
I found this site for the firmware.

Welcom R4SDHC.COM -Revolution for NDSi/NDSL/NDS (http://www.r4sdhc.com/down.asp#r4)

which had the right ROM for it.

Many many thanks.
