    I have put Professor Layton on to my R4 card, when I tried to play the game I came to the 'The save data could not be accessed' screen. I replaced the arm7 using DSLazy but now when I try to load the game, it goes straight to a black screen and you can just hear the music in the background.

    I've also updated the fireware with the YSMenu but that has not worked.

    Can anyone help?

    Which arm7 file did you use, from which game?

    you cant touch somewhere? i think if you touch somewhere, you click on something. (look at some photo's for the menu, if they are somewhere)

    Did you try running it without YSMenu? I managed to play through the whole game on my R4 (-III) with the standard firmware. Not even any patching.

    The R4-III is entirely different from the original R4, you can't compare them at all. R4-III just stole the name to sell more carts.

    The arm7 was from the Maxcrass method, I have used it before and at has always worked. I also tried it without the YSMenu.

    I am aware that the R4-III is not actually an R4 - I had heard somewhere that they were moderately compatible, though.

    Back on topic, you're loading the game, with patched arm7, and get a plain black screen? Perhaps try getting the arm7 from a different donor game, just in case.

    What kind of donor game? I tried putting the arm7 from Professor Layton and the curious village but that didn't work, is that what you mean?

    Any other game that you know works perfectly fine on your flashcart.

    Not a very good flashcart, look into investing for a better one. Blinking happens when you are accessing a wireless function, or a broken fuse/battery.
