    Hello =]

    I have an r4 SDHC card and i cannot download/play multiplayer games. Is there something i am not doing? I've tried Mario Party DS,Tetris and Brain Age. It just comes up (after trying to load for a while) with an error. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Noob Saylim >_>

    Do you trim them? Just asking.

    Make sure you have the latest firmware. http://www.linfoxdomain.com/ds/ Rom trimmers in recent years no longer interfere with Download Play functions.

    you can also try enabling the ds download play on your flashcard that might help. ;)

    Thanks so much for the replies!

    Yes, I have the newest firmware. I even tried a different firmware and it didn't work. So I don't think that is the problem. Is there a "Enable DL Play" Button on the menu im missing? I dont see one. Im new to the R4 trying to figure it out. =/.

    What is "trimming"?

    It seems to work on the my ds..but the recieving ds freezes at "Nintendo" Then mine will say communication error. =/

    Well, flashcarts may not be compatible with other flashcarts or games. IF its a game, then well, IDK. IF its a flashcart, then on mine I press Start>System Options>DS Download Play>ENABLE or select the game and press Start>Properties>DS Download Play>ENABLE. IDK because this is an Acekard and it may not work. Trust me, I was confused too.

    well, an acekard is completely different from an R4... try using a real DS game with single-card multiplayer to see if it's not the DS itself. My R4 works just fine when it comes to download play

    I know its not my DS because some games work just fine with download/play.

    and i don't have a "Start>Properties" option on an r4 card. =/

    While I lack r4 know-how, try pressing start-if it has an options list like acekard, that may help-that's the start menu for acekard.
