    I got this card : http://www.r4sdhc.com/r4sdhc.asp (looks exactly the same)
    However, the firmware for it (1.34) doesn't work. Only the 1.18 one for original r4 works. Can anyone tell me what card I'm using?

    Also, I tried everything in order to play pokemon white but I always get a white screen after loading the rom. Any help there?

    If it is the R4 original then this YSMenu firmware will work on it

    My card looks like this: http://m3r4dstt.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/P80400162.jpg
    And sadly I still get a white screen with that firmware.

    I see the R4SDHC: Use the cards original firmware

    Try RetroGameFan Multi Cart Update 6.54

    http://filetrip.net/g25123605-RetroGameFan-Multi-Cart-Update.html

    From the R4SDHC folder , Get the TTMenu folder and YSMenu.nds loader and place them onto the microsd root, Then while on your DS boot the YSMenu.nds loader, Unsure if would work as they are many diffrent R4SDHC cards

    Use the firmware that originaly works v1.18, And use the ysmenu.nds <- boot it like a game as a seciond firmware + TTMenu folder

    I found the solution to my problem! My card was actually a r4 new. Their website is down so I found the latest firmware by googling.
    I then used the latest version of RTG multi-card upgrade and it worked!

    J3ueno, I'm having the exact same problem. I have the same R4 that looks like the pictures you've provided and only works with the 1.18 firmware for the original R4. It would be really appreciated if you explain how you solved your problem.

    Thanks.

    Alright, if your problem is the same as mine, you need a r4 new firmware.
    Download it here: http://filetrip.net/f21865-R4-SDHC-(r4new-com-version)-1-23.html
    Copy the files to your sd card.

    After that, download RGF's latest update here: http://filetrip.net/g25123605-RetroGameFan-Multi-Cart-Update.html
    In the r4 clone folder, copy the ttmenu floder and ysmenu.nds to your sd card, open your ds and then launch ysmenu.nds
    Select your pokemon rom (i use the us patched version, haven't tested non-patched roms) and that's it.

    I think I may have just figured out how to get mine to work. Because I have this EXACT problem too! Wow, this is confusing lol. I'm going to try this and see if it works for me

    YES IT WORKS. You are a god or something. Haven't tried it with Pokemon yet but Okamiden is sitting here on the start screen so since that's an even newer game I'm pretty sure Pokemon will work too!
