Help...new to this....downloaded onto chip but not appearing on Dsi??

HI
I'm sorry to be a bit behind the times. Have just got a DSi ...recieved my sd card etc today.

Downloaded Professor Layton, seemed to work ok, extracted files ok but when i put r4i card into ds the only new thing i can notice is an icon which says ' Star Wars' Lethal alliance ubisoft, when i click start all i get is black bottom screen....white top screen with word menu in red and a ? The files was .nds so not sure where my problem lies

I'm desperate to get gaming...please can anyone help???

 

Sounds like your missing firmware.

Read the common issues thread, links to firmware may be there.

 

Thank you....i'm just looking into this now!!

 

well i learned how to fix this off of youtube. i know they have that proublem on there and is really easy to fix and install the firmware to ur sd card and after you get that down and fixed you gotta move to the next step and thats installing Snes on ur card to play them badass super nintendo games on ur card ! and thnx to seth you can even download the snes games on here from his site! 8)

 

so i looked at you tube and have sorted the first problem i had ...adding firmware and formatting card etc.. The games still don't appear to be in the folder i created though....guess will keep trying!!!

 

try copying them to the root diectory

 

use all cap letters for folder on root like so " GAMES " and make sure ur downloading .nds file

 

very confused now! downloading games fine but they are RAR files ? is this correct? also how do i save them to my CHIP?

 

You have to EXTRACT the files from the RAR archives and then move them in your GAMES folder. Use Winrar to do this

I got the problem all sorted via using this link below

Is your firmware ok? working properly...
Try the firmware from Team M3. R4 v2.2
