    I've just bought an R4 SDHC card and i'm using a 8GB micro SDHC sorage which the R4 claims to support?

    I've downloaded and extracted the .rar kernal and copied the files onto the micro card including a couple of games but when i turn on the DS it stays on the black "loading" screen which is very frustrating!

    Anyone any ideas??

    There is a whole other thread dedicated to the problems with R4's, however try the following first

    1) Format your micro SD with Panasonics SD formatter (free use Google to find) and use it each time you change the firmware.

    2) Download your firmware and extract it straight on to the SD (not onto the PC then transfer)

    3) Try the available firmware's - http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/ hosts them all, start with the likely candidates and work your way through

    4) Ensure the SD is seated correctly in the R4 before putting into the DS

    5) At this stage do not add any roms - get it past the loading screen first.

    If this does not work find the main thread and see if you can get any other ideas.
