    your guide is great, but i'm still having problems....

    here's what i've done
    formated brand new micro sd card
    installed newest kernal files from r4ds site as per your instructions
    added my games
    properly removed the microsd card from my computer
    installed micro sd card in my r4ds
    i turn it on and get the ds page, then "loading..." screen and nothing happens even if i leave it for 3 minutes. turn it off/on nothing changes.
    tried redownloading and reinstalling the kernal files, making sure everything was tight and connected and still a no go when i turn on my ds

    can anyone give me some ideas? it's a brand new r4ds right out of the original packing, new microsd card, brand shinny new DS. i don't have any real games to try in the ds yet. any help would be greatly appreciated!

    What size microSD card?

    This is symptomatic of a non-supported microSD card.

    Thats a fake R4.The original R4DS card was never SDHC and only supported cards up to 2GB.Someone else just copied all the features and added SDHC support and called it a R4DS.
