    I’m setting up an R4 for a friend of my brother and I’m having a problem with some games, most notably Pokemon SoulSilver and Pokemon Black. Both of them keep showing up as corrupt on the DS and they won’t play.

    I have the exact same roms and firmware on my own R4 and they work perfectly. Ive searched Google but I found no answers.

    Is the microSD chip bigger then 2GB ?, If your R4 is an original it can take no bigger then 2GB

    Are mabe a good format of the Chip with Panasonic SD formatter, Save all you can get off it frist though

    I did that before coming here. I formatted the MicroSD and reinstalled everything but the same problem persists.

    Panasonic SD Formatter, Should "Defrag" the MicroSD Chip as well

    I seem to be making progress. I formatted the MicroSD again with the Full (Overwrite) option this time and so far everything looks good. I’m putting the games on the cart 3 games at a time and checking to make sure they aren’t corrupted. I’ll edit this post with the end results.

    EDIT: Well Pokemon Black is still showing as corrupt but everything else is showing up fine. I'll see if White will be more cooperative.

    EDIT EDIT: Nah Pokemon White shows as corrupt also. I has a sad :(

    EDIT EDIT EDIT: By request of my brother’s friend I installed the games and firmware on a different MicroSD and it all works perfectly. This would seem to be a problem with the actual MicroSD itself and not the games or firmware.
