After I have loaded the R4 Sw to my new 8 Gb SD card and placed it in my NDS. When starting the NDS i got 2 white screen on the top screen there is a little red box saying Menu. What is wrong

Sounds like you have the wrong firmware on the R4 card. I had a similar problem when I swapped cards with my granddaughter. I had the "R4 Revolution....etc" card and she had a "R4 Upgrade Revolution....etc". They look the same but un beknown to me they need different firmware!!

For the R4 you should using kernel R4 DS v1.18

For the R4 Upgrade this should be R4-III v3.13

Hey there,

The "Menu?" screen is unfortuantely a sign that you have a fake R4 card, because the real one should have "Loading..." as an error message. The "Menu?" screen is a copy from the DSTT firmware and shouldn't be on an R4 card.

You can buy genuine cards from either DSCardWorld.com or NDS-Gear.com - although nds-gear is a bit cheaper shipping wise if you live outside the U.S.

Good luck!

Hey there Colin,

The original R4 card only works with Micro-SD cards up to 2GB in size. To use Micro-SD cards up to 32GB, you need to buy the newer R4 SDHC card or a Nintendo DSi comaptible card. Check out R4 Cards / R4 DS Cards from DSCardWorld.com or NDS-Gear.com (NDS-Gear is probably better if you live in Europe or Canada as their shipping's slightly better internationally).

Good luck!

put ur sd card onto the computer and make sure the games are still on the sd card, then wipe ur sd card after puttging the games into a separate file on ur compputer.

Make sure they are in .nds format if not they wont work , then downlaod new r4 software and put it onto ur sd card, then make a folder called "games" and put the games back on in the folder called games.

Also if the problem occurred after u have recently downloaded a new game i would delete the new game cos it may have a virus
:) hope this helps.!

The DSi has a firewall. The DSi blocks your card. Not a new SD, but a new R4, mate.

Try re-installing the operating system onto the card. Go to www.r4ds.com download & unzip the kernel. This will create a folder with the operating system.Copy these files to the root of the SD card (There should be 2 files & 2 folders) After this, copy the .nds files also onto the root of the SD card, and the games should be visible & playable when you turn on the DS 
NOTE: this will not work for the Nintendo DSi

you will have to reload the game again this cards are well known for this problem, make sure you drag the games into the game folder, and they are not in winrar format.

You should check if the R4 card is actually R4 SDHC, because the firmware of R4DS is not compatible with it. If it is SDHC, go to this website http://rs320.rapidshare.com/files/140174805/English-1.21.zip to download the firmware for your card. If there are any roms on it, you should save them somewhere else, for you have to format the card first (do this in windows by going to 'this computer', then right-clicking on the SD card from your R4 and then select 'format'. Warning! Never select 'quick format'! This could do damage). Now your card is completely empty. Copy the files you just downloaded and unzipped to the card (5 files; _system_, moonshl, _DS_MENU.DAT, _DS_MENU.INI and _DS_MSHL.NDS). Now put the SD card in the R4 and it should work properly :) I had the same problem, and I have just solved it *grin*. I hope this was useful.

i had the same problem, my 2 gb would work ok but not my 4gb i have heard that the 4gb wont work on the older r4's, so i bought a ds Lite R4 Revolution III (Version 3) from amazon.co.uk and it came with evrything you need and it worked great the address is https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_/275-1618189-4849908?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=DS+Lite+R4+Revolution+III+%28Version+3%29&x=14&y=15
