R4 can't create saves

    Ugh, I have a really weird problem, on my R4 (original, firmware 1.24), no matter what I do, when I start a game for the first time and create a save, I get the popup you usually get when there's not enough space on the R4 (Create saver/bookmark failure Storage space inadequate), even though I have a few MB's of space left.

    This started after I put a Rom I used to have on my R4 again (savestate was still there, wanted to continue), which worked fine, but when I tried to get a game I played for the first time, I got the problem mentioned above.

    Help ._.

    Backup all your files, and format your MicroSD with this formatting program.

    After it's done, put all the files on your MicroSD again.

    I decided to buy a new one (since the old one had only 1 GB, so yeah), and it's a Sandisk 8 GB SDHC.
    Which doesn't seem to work (freezes on Loading-screen).
    I've checked on other places, and well, seems that I have the old, R4 which supports only SD (I'll assume).
    Is there a way I can ge this to work, don't want to have given those 34 Swiss Franks ('bout 20 bucks) out for nothing.

    If your R4 is an original , It wil only take upto a 2gb sd microds chip , but not sdhc microsd chip

    You could try ysmenu and if it is an original, ysmenu will work

    Games fixed list

    DSTT v1.17a12 YSmenu For R4 Original Users , Updated 2010/03/03

    http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wnmqtznmijt

    This ysmenu dose not use up much space at all, sine it dose not use moonshell

    Backup save and games to use again

    Aw.
    Actually, I think I'll go get a R4 SDHC, there's a shop which is pretty near to where I live, I might even get rid of my old R4.
    Plus, the R4 SDHC gets updates so yeah.
    Or even better, I get CycloDS or another of those better, new flashcards.

    By they way, is there a GBAexploader for the regular NDS?

    Don't get ANYTHING with R4 in its name. Get an acekard 2i, supercard dsone or cyclods

    Yeah, I'm not sure if v1.24 is even for the original R4...

    Okay, a friend of mine got a CycloDS when his old R4 broke, so I'll probably buy that.

    Anyways, I'd just like to know if there's a GBAexploader Slot-2 Cartridge for the regular, old DS, after that the topic can be closed.

    I recommend the acekard 2i but the cyclo is just as good.

    However, for me it would come down to price....so yeah, either is good.

    I think so as the DS and the DS lite (looks aside) are praticaly the same.

    FINALLY someone is paying attention to me :)

    Ok, great, I just checked it out on that guy's website, there's a plastic thing you can put around the NDSL-GBAexploader, so that it fits into the regular NDS.

    Thanks a lot ^_^
