Oldschool NDSL R4

**kirkyface** · 30th December, 2012, 08:05 PM

Hiya,

Apologies if this has been asked alot and if I sound like a complete R4 spazz.

I have an NDSL R4 Revolution 3 for DS R4 card for your usual run of the mill DS - it also says V1.22 when I start it up.

I've had it for a couple of years and have never updated it. I've never had any problems getting games to work on it until recently. My most recent is with Lego LOTR, I copy it onto the card and just get a black screen when I load it with no progression.

I've noticed alot of people going on about "Wood"(?) firmware update but have no idea where to download it and where exactly on the R4 files it goes?
I've tried to download something and now it appears to have done something to it because when I start my DS is just says "loading" on a black screen and I can't even get onto my usual menu window.

Sorry if it's a bit mind numbing but could someone literally go through step by step hat I need to download and how I do this please? Would be really appreciated!

Have you tried another trusted version of Lego?

Try this one

Dicastia: Nintendo 3DS/DS Scene: 6116 - LEGO: The Lord of the Rings (U)

Thank you but it doesn't work, even with this version.

It's the same for LOTR, Harry Potter (1-4 & 5-7) and any other games I've tried recently.

Theres a thank you button for thank yous.

Anyhoo. Theres hope left. All you need to do is update the sd card contents so it works with the games. You will need to ID the r4 card for this purpose.

And before updating the firmware, you will have to format your SD card in windows FAT 32 before copying the games of it to your PC.

Is it this one?

or is it this?

What does it say on the card?

From your reply I assume theres no ! on the card (exclamation mark)

If not, then download This File

Open file, extract folder to PC, then open the folder and copy the contents to the SD card after you have formatted and placed a working game on it as said above.

Once done, load up DS with it in and see how you get on.

Nope, there's no !

and after following the above I just get a black screen with "loading" and it won't let me any further.

Loading. Thats a good sign, now were getting somwhere.

1. Download this attachment
2. Open the download and extract files to PC.
3. Open the folder where the files extracted to and copy the "_rpg" folder and "_DS.MENU.DATA" files to root of sd card. (One at a time)

That should be it working now.
