    I have a new R4 Ultra with the proper Kernal loaded (www.r4ultra.com). I have a 'games' file with 4 .zip NDS games copied to it. When I start the DS lite I can see the menu, I can choose the games directory, I can scroll down through the games, but when I press "A" to start that game... Nothing.

    I am using a small 256mb Kingmax microsd card because the 4gb SanDisk micro sdhc that I bought didn't come with a USB reader and the reader I have is old and won't read the 4gb micro sdhc. (I am waiting for a new USB reader to arrive in the mail) I am actually just trying to see if this R4 works for now but am disappointed so far.


    This is what my R4 box says...
    Supports SDHC memory cards ( compatibility up to 32GB) ;
    Change language of menu as you want without any limit;
    As same size and thickness as original card;

    database;

    Support change font color of menu;
    Support brightness adjust (DS Lite only);
    Support soft-reset;
    Support AR cheat code;
    Support soft-reset of moonshell 1.6 (back to main menu of R4
    Ultra) ;

    Hope this helps you to help me!

    "I have a 'games' file with 4 .zip NDS games copied to it."

    You have to unzip the games first before you put them on the microSD card..
