Hi and thanks for tutorial...
i have just ordered my R4 card and bits from the site u said about-thanks again..

Their installation method is similar but slightly diff---see below....

Each adaptor in distribution are tested before the normal operation unless the transport process damage, you need to step by step according to installation guide for installation.

Step 1, You would need to format the Micro sd card and install firmware onto the DS card before it can use.
Step 2, you need to download the software.
Software download link : http://www.r4sdhc.com/down/R4/English-1.34.rar
Step 3, unzip the (English-1.34.rar) and open the folder which be named English-1.34 then you need to drop or copy the 9 contents,4 folders (_system_,_patch,moonshl2,moonmemo) and 5 files (_DS_MENU.DAT,_DS_MENU.INI,_DS_MSHL.NDS,r4dldi,R4_PANDORA.NDS) from kernel in to micro sd card without the root folder.(NOTE: If you do not have unzip tools ,you can download here: http://www.rarsoft.com/)

Step 4, You need to unzip your game , then directly drop your game(xxx.nds) to your Micro sd card NOT in any other folders after the right installation of the software.

Step 5, In the final insert the sd card to your r4 sdhc adaptor, now you can select (happy face) icon and then select your game .Enjoy your games.


Will both methods work or do i have to follow this one as its where im getting bits from?

Thanks again great site

i have tried a number of kernels now. reason for not working is i upgraded my boys ds to a dsi and bought him new r4i and it works fine but tried to use this 2gb card to extend his collection but then thought better of it and wanted to use it again for dslite ( for me to play games whilst i work away ) now i cant get it to work

plz help me

[harrisonjorja]

thankl you so much for your help... though am unable to load the dsi link... it is a better start than I expected

[bfmoon]

thanks for the guide. Do you just load the games in the root of the sd card? or do I need to make a file called games?

thanks for the guide. Do you just load the games in the root of the sd card? or do I need to make a file called games?

you can do eather m8 i personaly prefer to create a games file i find it easier to alter in the future when all you games are in one place, one thing to remmember for the future is when you remove any game make sure you also delete the game save file on the sd card because it is taking up memory, also with this if you want to set any game back to the begining all the have to do is delete the save file
hope this helps m8

It's a bit late to say you should have coppied the firmware files before formatting but all is not lost.
Is it an original R4 card? What is written on the lable on the front of the card, it usualy has the type of card and a website.
