    Having downloaded some of your nds roms and putting them onto my R4, i found that on the menu screen, where i select the game i want to play all the games are there. HOwever, once a game is selected there is no other file to click on (this file usually starts the game) and therefore i can't play any games lol.) Pleasee help :) i haven't had this issue with games i've downloaded from other sites... :S

    no, 1.19 is a poor unofficial firmware. If you have an original R4, make sure you have either 1.18 or ysmenu, if its a clone, make sure you have the appropriate firmware for it.

    I think Kiza is trying to say that he can't see the ROMs that he downloaded from here...??? If it is, did you extract the files from .rar???

    You need to download and put the latest firmware for you card for your flashcart.

    www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds will have the latest.

    It is saying it cannot find ds menu.dat, because it's not on your card.

    Go to www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds
    Download the latest firmware version for your specific Flashcart (R4 Ultra, R4 III, R4, R4 new, what ever it is).
    Extract the files to a folder on your computer (WinZIP, WinRAR, what ever you want to use)
    They will probably be in a folder called "English"

    Take the following files out of this folder:
    _system_
    moonshl
    _DS_MENU.DAT
    _DS_MSHL.NDS

    Put these folders and files onto the Root of your MicroSD card (Root means in no folder, just on the card directly).
