Nintendo R4i card problem - Help!

[Sikander]

Hi, i purchased an R4i card 2 days ago and i installed all the latest firmware, a few games and it was working fine. But today it is showing up a message saying, "An error has occurred. Press and hold the POWER Button to turn the system off. Please refer to the Nintendo DSi Operations Manual for details". The system firmware is 1.3e.
Any help would be great, thanks!

i would try reformatting sd card or using a diffrent sd card.

Already given it a reformat at reinstalled FW.. no avail! Will try a new sd card... would you say it could be broke?

Is that the latest firmware...I think Wood firmware has 1.41 available...but may not be for your card.

Somtimes when I put card in it says no card inserted, I just try it again and it works.

Thanks this helped me!

Hi Jaffa, cheers for your reply. Sorry to be a nuisance but where can i find this firmware? Cheers in advance!

Hmm, i've reformatted the SD card and installed the wood firmware but it doesn't seem to be working! It comes up with the same message.
The card i have is the R4i (v1.4.3) Is there any other firmware i could try? I've also tried V1.51b. But it's also coming up with the error message. Is it best to contact the company i purchased it from?

Cheers once again.

woods wont work with that card.

there will be a website printed on the card, you should be able to get correct fiurmware from there...

[Sikander]

Yeah, i was thinking that. Nevermind, i'll give it another crack. What i don't get is why was it working one day then all of a sudden stopped? Couldn't have been an upgrade, could there?

[barrowmanandrew]

someone could have accidently updated the console firmware,

or more likley the sd card ~~~~ed up and needs reformatted.

this happens regularly with me,

i just copy everything from sd card to pc, then format with panasonic formatting tool and copy back....

[Sikander]

Done that, still no luck. Got the correct firmware (1.51b) off the website and everything. Must be a card problem

[Sikander]

Would you recommend updating my DSi firmware to the latest one? Is there a kernel for the latest DSi F/W? Cheers

[barrowmanandrew]

no,
dsi firmware updates block flashcarts.....

no need to update...

[Sikander]

aah ok. Thanks dearly for all of your help. I'll keep trying!

[Sikander]

i was just thinking, sorry to keep pestering you . My DS firmware is 1.3e, while the R4i card has 1.4.3 on it. Could it be a compatibility issue?
