    just got my ds how do i get the R4 card and games step by step

    ok i see a lot lately of people in this section looking for different software for this that and the other type cards for there ds well heres how i got mine up and running thanks to other members here all this info im putting together is from random people and thanks to all of them

    first of all ya have your ds
    you will need an R4 sdhc card
    a micro sd card and micro sd adapter
    the website supply a link on there site for the firmware for this card

    you can get them all here ive bought 4 kits off them with no hassle
    www.r4gift.com,cheapset price,same day post in uk.

    then follow pjtaff step by step which ive copied here

    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 on the R4 site like mentioned above



    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 the one off there site when ya buy the card follow the link again on there site

    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


    right thats the card sorted now to get the games make a folder on desktop call it ds games

    i use this website here it is
    NINITENDO NDS GAME ROM - http://nds.hkorz.com



    dont sign up
    select rom list at top of page
    type name of game in search engine ie deal or no deal
    select your region from list ie EUR for europe click details
    select download link like ifile sometimes they dont work try another
    select request download ticket then select download
    select open and let it download
    when downloaded winrar will open up automatically
    select extract to with winrar then select the ds games folder ya made earlier and the game will save there automatically

    then just copy the games onto your micro sd card and away ya go

    dont copy the games folder from desktop to micro sd card just copy the games in the folder to the micro sd card

    can a mod change the thread title please
