problem with my R4

If I start up my DS with R4 in it, there state: Couldn't find_DS_MENU.DAT, what do i do so that the game works?
(yes, my english isn't very good )

 

Maybe you accidentally deleted that file, R4 requires that system file to run. You need to redownload the R4 firmware here: http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/dl.php/R4_v1.18_English.zip Thanks for Anandjones for putting up a great mirror site for all flashcarts, linFox Domain.

 

Get it back from you kernal file, its in there and replace it back onto your microsd card in the root

 

okay, according linFox I've to download F_CORE.DAT, where can I downlaod that?

(my R4 named: R4 Revolution for DS)

or something?

 

No, you do not have to download any of those other files or the FCORE. You only need the 1.18 firmware here. http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/dl.php/R4_v1.18_English.zip Then read this. http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/?mode=desc&fileid=1786 Read the R4DS section on the page.

 

okay, my english isn't very good, but I think I only have to delete the file: _DS_MENU.SYS is that right?

 

Your card need's it

www.r4ds.com

Put _DS_MENU.dat into the main place where your files are

 

_DS_MENU.SYS will be created as soon as you run your R4 for the first time. It is not included with the firmware anyway. It only states you delete _DS_MENU.SYS IF you are updating your firmware from a previous version.

 

Yeah, it works
but now, how can I set games on it? I've download one, but he doesn't work

 

You need to extract them again so you get the .nds file. Put them anywhere on your MicroSD. To play them, run your R4, select 'Game' and then browse for your games. Click A on them when highlighted. The prompt will ask you to create a save file, choose Yes.

 

thanks for your help, but I don't understand how you get a .rar file to a .nds file

 

you right click the .rar file and click "extract here".

 

You extract the .rar file the same as you did with your firmware.

 

i just put a new game on my r4i card and its wiped all the games and i just have a white screen and now the sd card wont even register in the usb card reader plzzzzzz help

If is asking you do format, mabe thats what you will have to do, and start a fresh with your kernal
