    Half my roms are not working others give me an error (load rom errcode=-1)

    My flashcart is the R4i Upgrade Revolution - Supports up to v1.4.1 (Red box) - http://r4i-sdhc.com/

    Things I have tried:

    -Update to the latest kernel (v1.30b) - from http://r4i-sdhc.com/
    -Defrag the SD Card
    -Format the SD Card
    -Try alternate ROMS

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    Could you tell us what games aren't working?

    Its really random - not to do with the release date or anything. The games don't have AP or anything like that

    thats my exact same flashcart. i once had that problem. what i did was... NOT update (as in.. overwriting old files with new ones), but actually start from scratch, erase all your menu files, and then install your new 1.30b kernel files. hope that helps. oh a format with the panasonic tool

    I tried that... Something odd happened...

    Some games worked perfectly - the ones that previously didn't.

    Other games that had been working stopped and gave me the same problem...

    I tried TTMenu with the same result. No error this time, but the game loads for an infinite amount of time

    Also, I don't think the firmware is reading the .nds file at all. My reasons for this are:

    -No icon appears for the game
    -No cheats available for game
    -Firmware claims that there is no multiplayer when the game actually does.

    When you formatted it, did you have erase ON or OFF?

    I heard that having erase ON not only takes more time, but reduces the life of your SD card by a lot.

    *Off.

    I tried everything. Started from scratch, tried different ROMS, everything!

    Its like my SD card has a mind of its own - every time I format my card different games will work and fail!

    So frustrating!

    So even the games without A.P bring up an error. Looks like you should think about a new flashcart

    Sounds like that. Anything else I should try before I go and purchase a new one?
