    I accidentally deleted the files that you need to start R4 SDHC and now I can't play games anymore...
    what can I do?

    Go back to the website you bought it off and download the firmware for your card.

    I didn't bought it from a website...
    Maybe someone can upload the files that are needed?

    Just go to http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/ and find the firmware (the files that you deleted) for your card (make sure you get the right one) then use winrar and take everything from inside the file and put it on the root of your card.

    I downloaded it and extracted it but it still won't start, keeps saying 'loading...' and normal color is purple now it's black...
    Btw the map system is something like a bug because it says that there is 19.8 gig inside it but it's on a 4 gig SDHC card...
    :-\

    you might also wanna try the firmware @ www.r4i-sdhc.com too, they just had a new update last week too!

    Incidentally, what website address was printed on your R4 box??

    Just confirm... You ACTUALLY reformatted the SD card as FAT or FAT32 before loading the software??

    You followed the instructions found here: http://www.r4isdhc.com/r4-sdhc-use-guide/

    You downloaded the CORRECT firmware for ytour card??

    Which card is it in question?? the R4 or the R4i??
    for R4 (blue) you need this link [v1.19b]: http://www.r4isdhc.com/download-r4sdhc/
    for R4i (Red) you need this link [v1.15b]: http://www.r4isdhc.com/download-r4isdhc-2/
    for R4 GOLD you need this link [v1.17b]: http://www.r4isdhc.com/download-r4gold/
    fir R4i GOLD you need this link [v1.14b]: http://www.r4isdhc.com/download-r4isdhcgold/

    Also, can you confirm what sort of NDS you have?? NDS/NDSL/NDSi/NDSXL ????
    Also, can you confirm what card exactly you have? Is it the gold, red, blue, or older???

    perhaps try this firmware: http://www.r4isdhc.com/download-r4gold/
    as its the only one with a picture of the black box version in it....
    also try the latest from the R4i-SDHC beta team @ r4i-sdhc.com (v1.18b), might not work but worth a try...
    (PS I am using v1.18b from r4i-sdhc, on a DS Lite, so running in R4 mode)

    Or, further to nemisis' suggestion, is this your box:

    yes it is
     
  18. bLATANT

    bLATANT Well-Known Member

    if thats the case you could try the v1.18b from r4i-sdhc.com as the box I posted is exactly the box for the card I got from them only a few weeks ago...

    Make sure its EXACTLY the right box, there are alot of different "versions" as you can see from nemesis' picture, the same but different....

    It's exactly the same! I'll try it

    It's not working

    hmmm, not sure whats going on there then....

    What type of DS are you rocking, DragonWar?? A couple year old DS, a year old DS lite??

    Also, you dont quite make it clear, is it loading the firmware? Showing you the R4 menu and allowing you to select a ROM, then it freezes on the "ROM Loading" screen? Or is it freezing on the "R4 loading" screen??

    Perhaps it'd be best for you to drop an email to the address on the site listed on your box, explain all the details, see what they come back with? (dont forget to let us know how you got on.

    Also, once formatted was the card reflecting the correct size (earleir ou reported it was reporting 20Gb not 2Gb)??

    Other things to try, older versions of the firmware (from the 'box' site).

    Try your card and firmware in another DS?

    Have you tried with multiple different ROMS (older ones)? or are you blatantly trying to hammer one of the latest ROM's?? (obviously this question is irrelivent if its not loading the R4 screen)
