    been looking through alot of the posts and can't seem to figure out if this is an R4 Clone or an actual R4 sdhc flashcart i forgot what site i bought it from its been several years. What i do know is that the most up to date firmware does not work on my flashcart (r4sdhc kernal v1..34) the one before it (r4sdhc kernal v1.32) works fine. And i now use ysmenu with it, i looked up my errcode=-4 problem and says update the ysmenu exitinfo/infolib/savelib. My question is which one should i extract from RGF v6.84 the R4 Clone or R4sdhc and where do i put it on my sd card. Here are the pics of what im using [​IMG] [​IMG]

    SD Card: Sandisk 8GB

    At least we know what card you are using.



    1. Download RGF's Multicard Update 6.84
    2. Use the firmware provided for your card (I'm hoping you know which one).
    3. Download this.
    4. Copy the .dat's ( extinfo.dat/infolib.dat/savlib.dat/usrcheat.dat) into the firmware folder (override the older files)
    5. Copy the newly updated firmware to the root of your card
    6. Have fun.

    found a working solution used firmware R4sdhc firmware 1.21 extracted that onto the root sd card used the R4 Clone folder and did what was in the how to install and copy and replaced the exitinfo/infolib/savelib/usrcheat.dat in the TTmenu when it loads run the YSmenu.nds and play whatever you want :D

    Thanks Xen for placing me on the road to fixing it :)

    I'm presuming your using the card from r4sdhc.com?
    I'll upload an updated version of YSMenu when I get onto my computer.

    if card is from r4sdhc.com and existing firmware was 1.34 then save games and savs on pc and format the sd card then download RetroGameFans multicart files and extract the R4SDHC folder this replaces existing cards firmmware (is one on its own) to the pc then extract the contents of this folder to the sd card is a (readme file inside) then test in the ds and if it loads then transfer your games and savs

    I forgot where I bought it from its been several years since I last touched it might not have been from that site I guess that's why firmware v1.34 doesn't work with it or any others past v1.21

    Non of RGF firmware is capable with R4 SDHC, only R4i SDHC .

    Sorry bad card without no updates in firmware :( .

    On the other hand get it setup back the way you had it with errcode=-4 , and replace only extinfo.dat/infolib.dat/savlib.dat files into ttmenu folder.

    Get them here: http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=43121.msg1413398#msg1413398

    If all else fails then I'm sorry.

    Yea it's currently working I had to get the old r4SDHC 1.21 firmware and use RGF 6.84 and replaced the Exitinfo/infolib/savelib and Usrcheat.dat to the ttmenu folder with the latest update all the games work up to Pokemon conquest I still haven't figured how to get that working yet.
