laging games

Some of the games i have download don't work, the screens just get black or white and on some games it just freez. In some other games i can't save. is the problem the game i downloaded or my r4i?

 

try to use the search-function on the site - and it's properly the firmware on your card that needs an update.

 

i fixed my card yesterday, but what is firmware?

 

Firmware is the files you need on the card to make it word - it's different for every type op card. Find your cards firmware on this page http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/

 

is kernel the same as firmware??

 

Yes.

It is maybe an AP (Anti Piracy check), look in the Technical Help section on info on how to solve.
Or your firmware is outdated. Look on Linfoxdomain to get your firmware (already mentioned), or get it on the site mentioned on the box of your card.

 

I get my r4i for a few days ago and then i downloaded the latest kernel on the site the buyer said (I think it's the site on the box) and it's laging.

 

What card?

2 types
http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/ - R4i Upgrade (Red Box)
http://www.r4li.com/ - R4i

 

it's a r4i neo revolution.

 

Did you download any game with an AP check? (Anti Piracy)

 

I don't know =/ if i did, is that why they are laggy?

I got the latest kernel for r4i and it's laging, can someone tell me why? Is it the card? I'm sad because i can't continue when i have saved because the files get corrupted :'(

 

That changes things!

If the file is corrupted (the game says), you must have either powered the DS off when saving or something was gone wrong with saving.

Possible Solutions:
) Do not turn your DS off when saving,
) Re-download the ROM,
) Delete your .sav (or whatever you might have) file

 

ok, so it's not the card? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

 

No, it mostly isn't

I had this problem with The Legend Of Zelda - Phantom Hourglass and deleting my .sav solved it.

But!: Deleting your .sav file will cause your progress to be lost!!
Re-Downloading does nothing, only replaces the ROM. Your progress is still here.

If those things do not work for you, try putting DMA and Soft-Reset off (if you haven't already).

 

well i don't know much about this thing so what is DMA and how do i turn that and soft-reset off? Is soft reset off if that little R is red? And i gonna try delete the .sav file. THANK YOU again

 

DMA is unknown to me what it means, but it is something that when it is activated it fixes some things. Sometimes you need to put it off when a game gets white screens or doesn't save.

Yes, soft reset is the red/green icon in the upper-right.

 

ok, but how do I turn DMA off then?

 

Oh, doesn't it show up on your card? Sorry then. On my card it shows up...

If you have any 'settings' menu, look in it for any "DMA" button. Press it if found...

If you do not have that, you will need to format your card.
Format instructions:
) BACKUP your files (copy to PC),
) Go to "This Computer",
) Right-click your SD card's letter,
) Click Format,
) Click "FAT" and change it to "FAT 16" or "FAT 32",
) Click Format once again,
) Wait until finished,
) Copy files back
