New R4 card for Nintendo DS lite keeps getting stuck in the loading screen. Please help
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.
It could be just a glitch, try taking it out and placing it back in , maybe it just might be damaged inside, try getting another one if you can if that one works it means that the other one that gets stuck on the loading it means its damaged, Hope I helped!
1) have you put all the firmware on? you get this from the r4ds website - without this the card will stick on loading
2) you have got a normal micro sd right? theres a type of sd called sdhc (usually 4gb and above) and the r4 doesnt support it
3) try moving ALL games and non firmware files off the card, if it still doesnt boot ...
4) reformat the card and reload the firmware
failing all that your r4 might be faulty. keep trying, they are a pain but its worth it

i brought a r4ds today with 2gb sd card and there is 0+ games on i put it in the ds it gives me a menu with game multimedia and boot slot two i click on game and then nothing happens could someone pleases help me
Same here. With suggested 1.21 it works, but with 1.61 and 1.71 it stucks at Loading... screen.
Funny thing is that with English-1.20 it works for say two days and suddenly the SD card is wiped or filesystem is corrupted.
Using R4 Deluxe that supports SDHC upto 32GB (according to box) with kingston 4GB microSD.
R4 CARD WORKED FOR A FEW HOURS. LOADED SOME MORE GAMES . AFTER THAT IT CAME UP' LOADING' WOULD NOT WORK AFTER THAT. TRIED DELETING THE GAMES BUT STILL WILL NOT WORK
worked wonderfully for months.
reformatted cards to use in cell phone, got new card for phone, reformatted card for DS and am now stuck on Loading screen.
My R4 SDHC doesn't work it just stays on the loading screen any help and i can't buy a new one HELP PLEASE!!!
same problem, don't understand the solutions either, not very good with all this tech stuff. anyone fixed it yet?
My R4 just says 'loading' when in DS. I put micro SD in PC, it shows 'full' but no files exist, no system, moon etc etc, or the games. I cant take anything off - as no files listed?! But cant load games on as 'card full' Any suggestions? I seems to be corrupt beyond help..
thanks - been trying to make this work all day!! It was the formatting that seemed to do the trick :)
i have games on it but when i put it in the computer it says i have to format it???? but then i will lose my games??
my r4 won't work i have got moonshell on it but i can't find the ds menu thing
i just bought a new r4 card i have put all the moonshell and everything but when i load the r4 card it is always saying loading
