Recently purchased R4 card and it came with a 4GB sd card. It works perfect! Puchased a second R4 card and 4 GB card for daughters DS, this second R4 card will not work with either of the 4GB sd cards and in niether of the DS's. But both of the 4GB sd cards though will work in the 1st R4 card. Have I done something wrong or did I just get lucky with the 1st one that it will handle the 4GB card?! I sent the R4 card back to the store because I thought is was faulty, but they said it worked fine. Why would the first R4 card be able to handle the 4GB sd card and the second one wouldn't?
Hello there,
The original R4v2 card only accepts up to 2GB Micro-SD cards, while subsequent R4 SDHC and R4v3 cards will accept 4GB cards and higher. It's likely that you didn't purchase the same type of card the second time around.
If
you are looking for a reliable place to buy DS and DSi cards fromthat
will stock originals, I'd recommend using http://www.NDS-Gear.com(I've
used them myself). They test every card before sending whichmeans you
won't receive dud cards, and more importantly they havesupport before
AND after your purchase by people who reply very quicklyand in perfect
English. Some of these dodgy websites take 4-6 weeks todeliver and
never answer e-mails, so I'm glad these guys are different.Oh, and they
guarantee to dispatch by the next working day, whichalways helps with
speed and all. And they're recommended by a lot ofthe DS card help
sites, too.
Good luck!

Did you buy the same type of R4 card each time? There are many type of R4 card on the market some of them more reliable than others.
