this is a newbie guide to set up a r4 card

[pjtaff]

hi first of all you will need a couple of things the first being the firmware that you need to put on the r4 card
you can download that here
Digital Kaos - Downloads - R4 SDHC v1.25 kernel (English) (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/ds/21/r4-sdhc-v1-25-kernel-english-607/)


next you will need a program called winrar
just google it and you should find it as a free download



so heres a list of how i would do it
1.get a copy of win rar instaled on your computer
2.download the firmware in the link above that i gave you
3.once the download has finished (should only take about a minute) winrar should open up now look on it and it should say on 1 of the tabs extract to click this and choose your destination of where you want the files to go ( what i tend to do is create a new folder on your desktop and call it r4 firmware and extract to that)
4.check that everything is downloaded and extracted to your folder you should have anything between four or five things in your folder.
5.put your r4 memory card into your computer and wait until it opens up on your computer as a blank page
6.now copy all of the things in your r4 firmware folder these should be 5 things named

SYSTEM
MOONSHI
DS MENU
DSMENU
DS MSHL

copy all these files to your sd card

7.create a new folder on your sd card and name it games
(if you dont know how to create a new folder just look on the left hand side of your sd page and your should see a option that says create a new folder)
8 all you need now is some games normaly when you download games thay are in a rar format so just left click the mouse on your game and select extract files here.

once you have done this you will probely have a couple of different things the only thing you need is the game

you will know which one the game is it will be the one that has a .NDS on the end of if

right you got your game now all you need to do is copy it to your games folder on your sd card

once you have done this you can keep on putting games into the games folder using the same procces remember only to put in a file that ends in .NDS cause thats your game

the only other thing is do not totaly fill your card up you need to leave space on it

so if you have a 4gb card you only want to put about 3.4gb of games on it

hope this help you if so click thanks at the bottem

it might sound a bit long winded and dawnting but dont worry it is easy and it should only take you about half hour to set up (as long as you got all the games you want downloaded




if you are using a r4i card you will need to change the following things
1. you will need a different firmware use this firmware and you should be good
Digital Kaos - Downloads - Firmware 1.09b (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/ds/21/firmware-1-09b-847/)

2. you donot need to create a folder and call it games all you have to do is is to put all your games straight onto the root of the sd card




if you are getting problem with your r4 card like when you insert your card in the ds and it just says loading try a different fimware, check the website you bought the card off most website have the correct firmware for your card on there so just check next time you buy one.



well i hope this guide is usfull to anyone and i apolagise if i have missed anything out but hopefully this can be a page where people can come and look and hopefullly find the sollution



if this helps anyopne please push the thanks button at the bottom
a little thanks goes a long way


all the best taf

hi could i have some feed back please on my tutorial above

many thanks
taf

[mickydibble]

very good pjtaff, seems to be anyway havnt read it honestly because i allready know ,but just thought i would point out that if people download winrar to chage its setting by: click options,settings,integration,and where it says "associate winrar with" click select all and save the settings....it will stop compatability issues on the packaged files say they are 7zip and not zip.....thnx m

cheers mate that sounds pure simple just wondering what type card ya need will any sd card do or does it have to be micro sd with the adapter thingy and are all sd cards r4 cheers

[antsumner]

buy a dstt card its cheaper m8 and a 4gb micro sd card off ebay for about ?5
look here for dstt card about ?3.50 m8

[pjtaff]

cheers mate that sounds pure simple just wondering what type card ya need will any sd card do or does it have to be micro sd with the adapter thingy and are all sd cards r4 cheers
yea has to be micro sd if you go to a site called
www.r4gift.com,cheapset price,same day post in uk. (http://www.r4gift.com)
they have a r4 card with a 4gb micro sd for about ?18 for that you will get a usb adapter too which you will need to plug into your computer so you can put the firmware and games on to the sd card

there are loads of different sites and cards about and different people will tell you different things about cards but all i can say is i have never had any probs with r4 and the site i listed above they have always been great normally get the cards within a few days

hope this helps you on your way to doing your first card

[antsumner]

why pay ?18 when you can get it for about ?9 all in?:party:

checked out that item if i was you i would buy a kit on a site that sells the r4 or the dstt which ever one you are going for
by a kit i mean you get the card for the ds a memory card and a usb card reader cause the one you are looking at on ebay costs about ?10 inc p&p for another ?8 you can get the r4 and a 4gb card

but what ever you go for make sure you have a look on the advert for the firmware to download for the card most websites will have the firmware to download
personaly i always buy from
www.r4gifts.com
found them really good fast delivery and never had a problem with the cards
hope this helps

yea ether one of them personally i always use r4
but up to you what i would say is go for the 4gb card not the 2gb card not alot of price difference and you can fit on average about 60 to 90 games on a 4gb so plenty of room to add more a 2gb you are looking about 35 games

[daithi]

ya was going to get the 4gb for her anyway

im just getting mixed up with the different cards

one thing though i couldn find an R4 kit on there site just the dstt kits

for 3 nintendo ds to work i need

one usb reader
3 R4 cards
and 3 micro sd cards

thanks for the help mate hope i can return the favour sometime

[xant14]

You need a micro sd card.

You shouldve got this with the usb adapter. If not purchase a MICRO SD CARD

hope this helps

Have got an r4 one of the first ones with firmware 1.18 just checking this is the highest you can go on this card, to put 1.25/6 firmware on it I will need to purchase v2 r4 or is there a way of doing it on original card?? simon

don'treally know m8 best thing to do is to just try it wont do any harm just copy all the firmware you have on the card to your pc then delete all the firmware off your card and put the new firmware on you shouldn't need to buy a new card
but to be honest if you got no probs with the card you have then leave well alone and stick to the firmware you have on it at the mo, cause for what i know i dont think there is any benefits to updateing the firmware but im sure if im wrong someone will tell me


hope this helps

I have a R4 SDHC Upgrade, but cannot get it to work. Tried every kernel under the sun; it either has the Menu? error, or freezes when it says "loading".

About to give up with it. Tried downloading off wwwr4i-sdhc.com, but must be the slowest site ever. Never managed to to get a complete download yet.

Any ideas?

yes m8 the guide will work for you if it is stuck on the loading screen then you have got the wrong firmware on the card try the later firmware any thing above 1.18 should be good

right mate first things first lets try with the easy one have you follow my tutorial
because it could be a simple thing like when you download the kernal<the software for it to work> you have toextract the files which basicly means that the download will be in a rar format so you need a program called winrar once you have that program just extractthe files and then put all the files onto the sd card
make sure they all go on once this is done just put the games onto your sd card again making sure that you have extracted the game

so the file you want will end in.NDS <this is your game>
then hopefully all will be good

just go through the tutorial step by step just to make sure you havn't missed anything out

any probs just post back

have you tried first format the sd card to fat32
if this is done then try different firmware for the card check the site you bought it off they should have the correct firmware

plus just double check the guide again just to make sure that you haven't missed anything out
the other thing it could be if you have checked everything is a faulty card try wiping over the terminals on the r4

Hi There,

Feels like I've come to the right place... The thing is that I got a NDS and from a friend a loaded card with games, music and movies... The thing is that when I start the NDS I have two icons one Game and one Media. If I choose Game and start a game there I will recieve "savfile not found!" If I choose Media I have the games there as well and if I choose a game there the game will start and I can play it.

Any ideas on how to get the Game button working and how to get hold of the music and movies? This is the first day I look at this thing so probably I have missed something but what... Hope you can help me, I would like to have Games on Games and movies and music on media...

Thanks

are you getting the save not found on all of the games or just the first one you tried also what card is it a r4 or other, it should say on the card

[Zubaro]

On the main menu there are three icons Games Media and Slot 2. On Games I can't play any game, all comes up with this "savfile not founded!" But on Media I can play all games, but only games... When I look at the card I can see that my friend has put some movies and music as well but these I can't reach... Shouldn't they be on media?

Sorry, but this is so very new to me and I just got this for my daughter, she's happy playing the games but it should be in the right way in order to get the other things working as well... If you have any ideas what is causing this I would be greatful.

It is an R4 card and on the micro SD it says Lexar 8Gb on the start menu it says ver 1.08b on the lower left corner... So it doesn't say R4i as I have seen on other places.... If it helps ;)

Hello again,

I went to the R4i-sdhc.com and downloaded the 1.20b kernell and then replaced all files but the games, music and movies folders... After this it all started working fine again. So my card wasn't an R4i but the files on it looked like there were for an i card.

if your using a r4 m8 you should have no probs with a 4gb card thats what i use and dont get any probs

original r4 cards dont support sdhc m8. you can only use cards upto 2 gig.
all the r4 sdhc upgrade cards are clones,
they will take any size sd card, but finding the correct firmware is a ~~~~ing nightmare.

hello my friend,
i have a child with a nintendo dsi and have a card with 4GB.

Hi is this the fireware to replace the old 1.18 version?
ty in advance

Mikmok
that would depend om the r4 card you have all r4 cards are now clones so to my knolage not all firmware work on all cards its a matter of try a new firmware but if it doesn't work then revert back to the old one. really if your not having any probs then you got no reason to change
:sheep::sheep::sheep::wink:

[deanthedude1977]

Hi and thanks for tutorial...
i have just ordered my R4 card and bits from the site u said about-thanks again..

Their installation method is similar but slightly diff---see below....


Each adaptor in distribution are tested before the normal operation unless the transport process damage, you need to step by step according to installation guide for installation.


Step 1, You would need to format the Micro sd card and install firmware onto the DS card before it can use.
Step 2, you need to download the software.
Software download link : http://www.r4sdhc.com/down/R4/English-1.34.rar (http://www.r4sdhc.com/down/R4/English-1.34.rar)
Step 3, unzip the (English-1.34.rar) and open the folder which be named English-1.34 then you need to drop or copy the 9 contents,4 folders (_system_,_patch,moonshl2,moonmemo) and 5 files (_DS_MENU.DAT,_DS_MENU.INI,_DS_MSHL.NDS,r4dldi,R4_ PANDORA.NDS) from kernel in to micro sd card without the root folder.(NOTE: If you do not have unzip tools ,you can download here: http://www.rarsoft.com/ (http://www.rarsoft.com/))

Step 4, You need to unzip your game , then directly drop your game(xxx.nds) to your Micro sd card NOT in any other folders after the right installation of the software.

Step 5, In the final insert the sd card to your r4 sdhc adaptor, now you can select (happy face) icon and then select your game .Enjoy your games.


Will both methods work or do i have to follow this one as its where im getting bits from?

Thanks again great site

[kenzie0507]

I'm just hoping this solves our daughter's problem of the blank screen and it's not the actual card that is the problem.

I seldom get round to thanking people like you who go the extra mile, so I'm kind of pleased I was forced to make this post - guys like you make this world a better place for people like my daughter (ok, I admit it, I like the DS Lite too).

Thanks so so much!:congrats:

Hi and thanks for tutorial...
i have just ordered my R4 card and bits from the site u said about-thanks again..

Their installation method is similar but slightly diff---see below....


Each adaptor in distribution are tested before the normal operation unless the transport process damage, you need to step by step according to installation guide for installation.



Step 1, You would need to format the Micro sd card and install firmware onto the DS card before it can use.
Step 2, you need to download the software.
Software download link : http://www.r4sdhc.com/down/R4/English-1.34.rar (http://www.r4sdhc.com/down/R4/English-1.34.rar)
Step 3, unzip the (English-1.34.rar) and open the folder which be named English-1.34 then you need to drop or copy the 9 contents,4 folders (_system_,_patch,moonshl2,moonmemo) and 5 files (_DS_MENU.DAT,_DS_MENU.INI,_DS_MSHL.NDS,r4dldi,R4_ PANDORA.NDS) from kernel in to micro sd card without the root folder.(NOTE: If you do not have unzip tools ,you can download here: http://www.rarsoft.com/ (http://www.rarsoft.com/))

Step 4, You need to unzip your game , then directly drop your game(xxx.nds) to your Micro sd card NOT in any other folders after the right installation of the software.

Step 5, In the final insert the sd card to your r4 sdhc adaptor, now you can select (happy face) icon and then select your game .Enjoy your games.


Will both methods work or do i have to follow this one as its where im getting bits from?

Thanks again great site

i have tried a number of kernels now. reason for not working is i upgraded my boys ds to a dsi and bought him new r4i and it works fine but tried to use this 2gb card to extend his collection but then thought better of it and wanted to use it again for dslite ( for me to play games whilst i work away ) now i cant get it to work :(

plz help me :(

[harrisonjorja]

thankl you so much for your help... though am unable to load the dsi link... it is a better start than I expected

[bfmoon]

thanks for the guide. Do you just load the games in the root of the sd card? or do I need to make a file called games?

you can do eather m8 i personaly prefer to create a games file i find it easier to alter in the future when all you games are in one place, one thing to remmember for the future is when you remove any game make sure you also delete the game save file on the sd card because it is taking up memory, also with this if you want to set any game back to the begining all the have to do is delete the save file
hope this helps m8

It's a bit late to say you should have coppied the firmware files before formatting but all is not lost.
Is it an original R4 card? What is written on the lable on the front of the card, it usualy has the type of card and a website.
