    for mat it again youa rent doing osmething rigth.

    when you unzip your file that has all the file be sure to create first one called "games" now drag the roms to game and after drag the files your R4 needs, otherwise it wont run,

    I have done as you advise.

    Re formatted SD card.

    Re copied all files onto SD card from Firmware for R4 III.

    Placed Games into folder and Named folder Games.

    start DS and get welcome nintendo screen then screens are black with top screen saying 'loading....' and it just sits like that. :'(

    You could try the other R4 III loaders. If those don't work do you have another microsd you could try?

    If it's still doing the same thing then it could just be the R4 =/
