    R4i card - no game menu!!

    Hi all, i have an r4 card for my sons ds lite which i've got working fine but we also have a dsi which i have just got an r4i card with v1.4.3 on it. I have downloaded the correct firmware from the website on the card (R4i SDHC Revolution for NDSi/NDSL/NDS). Everything seems ok until i get to the screen where the games SHOULD be listed and it is blank, but when i touch the screen or press A it loads the one game (although there are more on there, and its always the same one). I have formated the card fully and done everything correct as far as i can see..... PLEASE help as i'm pullin my hair out!!!! The dsi is updated runnin on 1.4.3E. The game files are on the card as i can find them but cannot load them from the game menu!!!!!! Thank you!

    that is very strange....

    can't think what is going wrong there...

    could try deleting the game that it keeps loading or maybe make a folder called games or summit and put the roms in that...

        Laney, I'm having the very same problem.
        No games list, and when I press a button it loads one!

        Has anyone got an idea of how to fix this please??

          There may be some problem of the game version. The game file must be put on the root directory of the MicroSD card. It should be unzipped, and of a ".nds" file.
          What is more, the r4i sdhc card should us r4i v1.45b kernel, but not r4i-3ds v1.45b.

            Hi zachmax,
            Yes I have done all this already.
            I used to have a dstt which worked fine,
            but this ruddy r4i card is proving to be useless.
            Think I might just send it back, which is a shame.

              You can format the TF card, and download the R4i SDHC Kernel for installation.

                Fixed it!!
                Right guys, I ended up getting a new one but still had the same ruddy issue.
                So I searched around somemore and found a few people mentioning a kernel date bug on the r4i cards.
                So I changed the ds date to 01-01-2010, and bingo, the bloody thing works!! Hope this helps a few people .
