Help with R4 Please! Just came in......

ok downloading the kernal from r4ds.com . Do i need anything from the cd it came from? Where do i put the file that im downloading at? do i leave just at the root on stick? also do i need to update any firmware for the ds or just download the kernal add the games and play?

 

ull also want the moonshell files also. but yes, but them on the root of the file and put games in anywhere. there are instructions that are on both the website and the cd.

 

very easy mate when you have downloaded the firmware unzip it and you will have 2 folders and 2 files -

folders , _system_ , moonshl .

files , _DS_MENU , _DS_MSHL.nds .

just put the 2 folders and 2 files on your micro sd memory card and thats it Kernel ( firmware ) done .

all firmware is on your r4ds no need to touch your nintendo ds.

you dont need anything from the cd as its probably out of date , latest kernel ( firmware ) V1.11.

when adding games make sure that they are .nds files the r4ds will only play .nds files ( if they are rared you will have to unrar to get the .nds file )

any more advice just let me know mate im no expert but have done about 15 r4ds for friends and family and all working excellently.

thanks for the help. Didnt know how easy this would actually be.

 

thats how i felt too when i finally got it working. probably everybody else also

 

well here i am on christmas night with one dissapointed little boy.

I got my son a ds original, bought the r4 with micro sd etc etc,

Hes been playing with it all day... delighted... and then WHAM!!

Turns it on again later and the R4 is not showing up.

The DS is on its original start menu... oh please help.

What has hapened.

I have tried the R4 in my daughter DS and it works... R$ menu, games etc.. all works....

Has something happened to my sons DS console???

Please help asap..

 

could be something simple like dust , try blowing in the slot and putting the r4ds back in , if it works in another ds then it must be ok , could be just a bit of dust ! ( not letting it contact properly )

 

Pippy07, it's just the contact with the ds that's a problem. try inserting it again & it might work.

I just got my R4, & it hasnt' even worked.

I downloaded the latest kernel, put in my .nds games in the microSD, & put in my DS.

The R4 just gets stuck on "Loading...." on a black screen.

What happened, cuz i just got it & it's not even working!!!! :O
