R4i stopped working

[Ezlo08]

Good morning! I got a problem with my r4i, when i bought( back in 2010) my dsi XL y bought with it a new r4, but unfortunately at the next week the upper screen died so i stopped using my console, but now 2 years later around september 2012 y fixed the screen and tried to run my r4 on the DS, but i cant get it to work, it drops an error screen wich says ?An error has occured. Press and hold the POWER Button to turn the system off?

From what I understand, my r4 died because of firmware updates from the console itself, but im not sure if im using wrong firmware or it is just a corrupted data file.

At the end of the post I will upload a picture of my R4i

what firmware is the dsixl on?

[Ezlo08]

the firmware version is 1.4.5 U

[barrowmanandrew]

version 1.4.5 is the latest version, onlky been out a few weeks.

very few cards will work with that console...

if the cards a few years old, then no chance unless its the dstwo supercard.

i shouldve imagined that...damnit, that explains why it didnt work with my little cousins DSi lite
I guess i should try and look for a good R4 model, on of those original R4 wood

hello again! as i said i bought a new R4... http://www.r4i3d.com/images/1.png wich is this one, but i still cant make it work, what could i do? i think im not introducing properly the kernel

[barrowmanandrew]

that one should work, no bother

[Ezlo08]

i guess im not installing correctly the kernel, could you help me?

[barrowmanandrew]

this is the firmware u need.

download/extract/open folder and copy the various files and folders to sd card.

if it doesnt work, you will have to update the card, this can only be done in a console that the card works in.

this is the download package.

instruction on using it are found in the read me..

another question, when i format the sd it should be fat or fat32?

[barrowmanandrew]

fat 32, it is recommended to use a proper formatting tool..
