HOW TO PATCH GAMES THAT HAVE A "SAVE DATA CANNOT BE ACCESSED" SCREEN
We will be using the Max Crass Method to patch this rom..
First of all, a pack containing the following is needed
DSLazy
Max Overload 1.2
arm7.bin
README.rtf
MaxCrassMethod.zip
http://l33t.spod.org/ratx/DS/dslazy/dslazy.zip ( Requires the .NET runtime )
Next, we will extract this to a convenient place (Desktop for instance)
Open DSLazy which is in the DSLazy folder..
Click the ... button and browse for your Name Of Rom Here.nds file.. Click OK
Click on NDS UNPACK and that will bring up a folder..
Next, we have to copy the arm7.bin file into this folder that has popped up.. Replace the one that is already there..
Next, we will click on NDS PACKER and choose a place to re-pack that folder (desktop again for example)
Now, we will open up the Max Overload 1.2 folder and then open the Max Overload patcher
Click on OPEN and find your Name Of Rom Here.nds file that you just replaced the arm7.bin file with (make sure you do not get these confused)
It will come up with something like this for example
Arm9
Rom offset: 00001000
Entry addr: 02000700
Ram addr: 04000000
Rom size: 000CAS58
Card read end not found
That is basically it, close all of these programs and copy the newly patched Name of Rom Here.nds file onto you flash cart..
It should work but I only have an r4.. And I can tell you that most games work on that..
I hope this guide has helped you guys out

1.25 already?

I am having serious problems with freezing with 1.18. I wonder if 1.25 will make a difference.

How do i know if my R4 is a clone, always get stuck at the loading screen? Tried firmware v1.18.

Thanks

Pulling my hair out, what little I have left. I got a R4 Card back before Christmas 08. Worked grand and still does.
In Feb 09 brother got one for his son - An R4 Upgrade for DS (ndsl/nds). At the time I assume I had a link to the relevant software, which I installed for hom and d/l'ed a number of ROMS. Gave it to the brother. Heard nothing more.
Earlier this week a Rom became available that I knew his son would be interested in. D/L'ed it. Brought it in on my R4 card and deleted some games on his card. Only then when I was talking to the young lad, did I find out that some of the original games I had given him weren't working.....so ........ I reformatted his R4, installed my R4 software + a game or 2 only to find out all I was getting was "loading" icon followed by a "red menu" icon. Both in the shape of a SD micro card.

Anyway the heel of the hunt I left my R4 with him and assumed all I had to do was reinstall the firmware that I thought I had at home, but it seems I have "misplaced/deleted" the file. I have d/l'ed the 1.18 kernel - no luck, have tried R4 III SDHC with no luck.

So hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction - possibly in the downloads there is something, but I'm running blind - don't even know what version was on his R4 to start with.

well i bought my r4 last summer...and it came with an link where i could download the firmware 1.21...games worked perfectly...with the exeption of those that had to be cracked first ^^

my friends also bought a r4 but they had a cd with firmware 1.18...i tried to install it and got stuck at the loading screen..so i think i got a fake r4 -.-
same with your bro i guess...so just try out firmware 1.24
or any other above 1.18...should work with his flashcard...atleast works with the mine

Hello, this is all new to me, I've just bought my son a DS and now trying to load stuff onto a R4 SDHC upgrade revolution. I assumed it was genuine, how do I know if it isn't? Do I just keep trying different software until I find one that works?
