Could'nt find_DS_MENU.DAT

1.18

 

Thought so! version 1.18 is your correct firmware...but you need the _DS_menu.dat as that file is missing, re-download 1.18

 

Okay i will post back with my results.

 

You can get upto v1.23 from www.r4li.com , v1.24 has a sound bug

Or ysmenu will work on a R4 original, this build dose

Jhon, no offence, but i'm trying to get his card working

 

If all the kernal files are on the microSD chip they should be no resion why it should not work

And _DS_menu.dat is they file that makes the R4 original work, in fact it's the main file

 

Still no go same message ?

 

and you have the _DS_MENU.DAT on there now?

 

still no go

 

You can't have the same message "couldn't find _DS_MENU.DAT" if you have that file on there now, what message are you getting now?

 

exactly what should i be putting on the micro card the plug in or the entire un zipped folder ?

 

Give the pins a clean on the R4 and microds, with a cotton bud, mabe its a bad connection, is one thought

 

The firmware will be a compressed file, you need to extract it with winrar, all the files need to go on your microSD card as they are

 

copy the lot onto the microsd are drag and drop all the files

 

thats what i thought thanks and i will also try cleaning the pins with a swab and alchol

 

After a quick read trough: I remember that 2GB cards doesn't work on R4... or am I wrong?

But, my advise would be: back up, format and install the newest kernel!

 

Re: Could\'nt find_DS_MENU.DAT

An R4 original can only handle upto a 2gb microDS or a non "sdhc" 4gb chip, an r4 sdhc can handle upto 32gb sdhc chip

Any possible chance it could be the make of microsd chip you are using ?, I have kingston 2GB and had no problems with that make...

 

Oh okay!
