    Im completely new to this. I bought an r4ds bundle from realhotstuff.com and a used NDSL from ebay. I can't seem to get my NDS to read the r4. I have an r4 revolution for ds (ndsl/nds) and it came with asan disk 2 gb micro sd card. Im pretty sure I followed a tutorial right on how to set up the r4 but its not working. Any help? Im so confused. :/

    I plug the sd card into the r4 and plug it into the dsl and it doesnt read it. This is so frustrating.

    This is the one that I bought. It came in a blister pack with the sd card and little stick thingy.

    The card looks the same and the cover on the package looks exactly like the one on the r4ds.com site.

    And not Im not sure about the firmware. I thought I was but then I kept seeing Ysmenu stuff and different versions and Im so lost now. :p

    maybe the micro sd is broken,or you have been unlucky and youve been tricked ,and bought a non working r4 card

    have u tried formating the micro sd and put the firmeware again?

    Post Merge: [time]1263505636[/time]
    you put the system folder on the root of the micro sd together with the moonshell folder and DS_MENU.DAT and_DS_MSHL.NDS
