    I have one of the real R4 cards (not sdhc or anything), and was given a 4GB Micro SD... but when I try to load the R4 it stays at the loading screen... is there any way to make this work... (don't tell me to buy a new flash cart... because I'm not)

    The normal R4 and its clones only support micro sd cards up to 2 gig. Its a pain. I just recommend you get multiple 2 gig cards.

    alright... it's a little more expensive than buying a single 4 gig, but still cheaper than something that takes SDHC

    I have 2 cards myself. One of game and the other of movies, music, ebooks (txt files), pictures.

    A friend of mine has about 4-5.

    Its the R4 SDHC that allows over 2 gig

    SDHC is different hardware wise to microsd. It will never be possible for the original R4 to read SDHC cards.

    Ok, I just went out and bought a 2GB card... I am now just using the 4GB card as a flash drive, thanks to an extra USB-to-MicroSD adapter
