    ...It's difficult to say for sure with the bit of information you've given, but...it's quite possible that you deleted them by accident when you copied the files over...

    try to format the microSD... if you have already done that, check if the files are .nds files... if they do, then probably there's a problem with the microSD card... if it still has the warranty, then trade for another one...

    ....Check ALL of the folders on the MicroSD. It's possible that the ROMs are getting added into one of the folders for some reason. If that doesn't work, try redownloading the v1.11 software from the official website (NOT from a secondhand source!).

    If all else fails...you're stuck.

    Linfoxdomain is a safe second-hand source though.

    It's still better to get it first-hand, though. At least that way you can be completely certain that the file is correct.

    If none of the above works id consider taking my R4 or SD back.
