    You only mentioned the SD card?

    Or is this something other than a dsi...more detail is required.

    No the card in your DS, is it a R4, M3, TTDS, CycloDS, EDGE, Acekard, Ninjapass, G6 etc.?

    You're no pain. Can you make a photo/video of booting the DS, is it stuck when you turn it on or when you start a game?

    You didn't forget formatting. I didn't need to do that.

    What you forgot.... Was the tutorial for CLONE R4s.

    thanks a lot for your help.

    i have checked the clone tutorial as well and still have the same prob, it gets stuck on loading. thats all it says.. lol i will get there eventually!!! would it work if i copied and pasted the software from a exsisting chip?

    4gb are not compatible with your average R4 you need a R4 SDHC you should take your 4gb msd back to the shop and geta 2gb msd then put your normal firmware on and games on and voila instant r4 enjoy

    msd=micro sd

    the r4 is not sdhc compatiable so you are restricted to 2gb however that doesnt stop you from getting two 2gb and loading them up lol

    thansk a lot for your help will try that one!!


    the other problem i have is when i open some files i am getting a message saying cannot find saved data?


    when i download i extract the files directly into the chip, do i need a seperate games folder? because some of the downloads work without it .

    thanks tracey xxx

    you must press Create new SAV when you start the game for the first time on your r4 or you could download a complete new version of the rom from this site and try it again
