R4i AND Edge problems! What do I do now?

    The story goes like this...

    My mom bought an Edge card that had a Micro SD that was preloaded with games already.
    But then, she also bought an R4i in the hopes that she would just use the micro SD from the edge in the r4i

    Now, when I try to use the Edge all I get is a blank white screen.
    And when i transfer the SD chip into the r4i and boot it up it says "couldn't find_ds_menu.sys"

    The SD chip has games like:

    - Professor Layton (both games)
    - Pokemon Platinum and Pearl
    - All the Mario DS games (including inside story which I highly doubt is working...)
    - Zelda games (i.e. phantom hourglass and spirit tracks)
    - Scribblenauts
    - Rhythm Heaven
    - Puzzle quest
    - The World Ends With You
    - PMD Explorers of Sky
    - Marvel Ultimate alliance 2
    and others..

    What should I do now? Should I try to fix the edge? or do I find the missing file for the R4i and use that instead?
    Please help, and Thanks in advance!


    EDIT: oh and I checked the SD card, There was a file called EDGE.DAT in there so it should have worked for the edge right?

    you need different firmware for each card so buy another micro sd card a nd put your firmware onit

    r4i i have one im a newbie at this one too but others will suggest an acecard2i but i cant see the point in spending more money on a cart when you have got what does the same job

    Hmm..

    I think I'll go with my R4.
    But now another problem rises...

    What do I do now?

    I've heard of this Wood R4 or something that people said that would work for 99% of games.
    How do I put this on the cart?

    Edit: Okay, I tried to download the Wood R4 and followed the instructions in the thread but i keep getting the message "couldn't find_DS_menu.sys"
    what does it mean?

    www.r4i-sdhc.com there you should have your firmware try 1.19b thats the one im using for my card i have a r4i sdhc red boxed
    yours might be the same as mine. i wouldnt really know if wood r4 works on your card i think it only works for r4 originals

    Yeah. Thanks. I finally found it.

    But I have another problem now... some of the preloaded games are running slow...
    I'm not sure whether it's the firmware or the game itself.

    I already went with the r4i. Actually I'm playing bowser's inside story as we speak.

    Actually, I went to

    http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/

    i matched up my r4 and I downloaded the latest version. (v2.07 or something)
    It loads fine for the other games, i.e. Bowser's inside story, Dragonball, Ben-10, (yes, I know they're all kiddie games. The cart belongs to my younger brother)
    It's just the Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks that have a slow load-up.
