    Did you extract it from the rar file using winrar?

    if the file on your R4 ends with .nds then yes, if it ends with .rar then no.

    You'll probably have to wait for new firmware, sorry, since 1.18 is the latest. You could try using an older firmware version though, see if that works. http://www.linfoxdomain.com/ds/

    No, doesn't matter about the language of firmware you downloaded. Unless, your cousin is using a different language or something, try using his firmware that he has on his MicroSD.

    well he lives in NJ and im in DE so that might not be able to happen.... would it be the same if i just asked him what version he used and downloaded it?

    My rom freezes on the second dungeon, when I try talk to the old pink geezer. It looks like it's going to become a cutscene, but then the screen stays black ??? what the heck ???

    The white screens generally happen because of the firmware, not the speed, although backing up all your data and reformatting your card might work. ^If you've already updated to the latest firmware of your flashcart (I assume), reformat.

    take everything off of your memory stick and put them in an easy-to-find folder on your computer and then right click the memory stick and hit Format.

    then put everything back on.

    Which part? Do both of them. If that doesn't fix it, it could be your MicroSD etc. is too slow. What brand is the card that you use?
