Blank screen on DS-lite with R4-III upgrade

[marv73]

Hello! I have read lots of threads about problems with loadingproblems but I havent found a solution for my problem with a blank screen. Or if anywone can tell me what thread to read obout this.

I have been adviced to download version 3.13 from r4dsl.net but when I try to load a game it asks for a SAV file and when I go further it says loading and both screens turns blank and nothing more happens! What have I done wrong? I appreciate all help I can get!

whhat game is it?
have you tried an older game?

[marv73]

Thank?s for your answer. I?ve tried Lego Harry Potter and Toy story 3 and they doesn?t work. But when your answer came I tried Mario Party and it works!!!! Is it impossible to play new games?

thought so m8,
newer games have more and more annti piracy features built in.

we need to check you have the most up to date firmware available for your card.....

where did u get your current firmware?

can u post a link to where u downloaded it from.

also is there any web address on the card?

[marv73]

So very nice of you to help me! The web adress on the card is www.r4dsl.net but when tried the latest version there (v4.04 who has diffrent files) it get stucked on "Loading" and the console never came any further. I?ve downloaded 3.13 from www.dgciti.com.

no problem,
right unfortunatly your card is not very well supported any more.

back up your sd card and try this one....
i am not sure if it will work.....

R4III_v4.03_English.rar

give it a try and let us know..

So sad that the card seems not well supported since I bought it in the end of december 2010. Well, I tried the v.4.03 from your link but it didn?t work. It stays put at "Loading" on a black screen. There is 6 items to copy and when it didn?t worked I tried to exclude the moonmemo map since it contains only txt-files but same scenario appeared....

I was about to bye a one like that but the website recommended me to bye the R4-III upgrade instead and since it was twice as expensive I thougt that it was better! Unfortunatley I orded 2 of each for both my children..... But I have at least learnd some new scills and my children Is very happy for lots of games they didn?t have . Maby I bye them new cards in a while.Thanks again or all your help and have a good night! Best wishes from Sweden!!
