Well i personally download all my firmware from here. Linfox Domain It has basically all firmware for every Flash Cards and Clone Flash Cards (R4's).
If you have an original R4 only then try ysmenu firmware http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=27617.msg466427#msg466427
Games fixed list in ysmenu http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=195808&st=0&start=0 Ysmenu will run some more newer games, but not they latest... But it will ownly run on a R4 original card with a 2gb microsd chip
You can format you microSD chip as many times as you like , So it don't matter how many firmwares you try ... , it will not brake your R4 card
This is also a helpful place: http://www.r4li.com/download/r4.html It's now the team that supports the R4 since the original team is gone. They also tell you in the side menu how to set up your card. If you need any help I could send you a image of my cards lay out. or just send you it's files.
Backup your games and saves, Delete all of your microds chip, place on the new files from the rar arcive onto the root of your microSD chip DS_Menu.dat TTMenu NDS Games - where you place your .nds games into
