    So, I recently got my R4i Gold card to get to the menu, but I cannot load the game. It doesn't get stuck on the Loading screen, but says that there is "no boot loader".

    I have looked around a lot for help and for tutorials for loading and setting up the card, but i haven't found out what I did wrong. I have winRAR, and i extracted the files to the T-Flash that came in the box, but the "no boot loader" still stops me.

    The first time I downloaded the games, I just opened the files with winRAR and extracted them that way. I also tried it where I saved the files then opened them with winRAR. Both times came up with the same results.

    Please help :(

    So have you re-loaded the kernel??

    Okay, I just tried that.
    It won't let me past the main menu of the card now. It says "Error Loading moonshell" and "Error Loading Menu File".

    Did I do something wrong? :(

    I downloaded the kernel from the link that you gave me, emptied the Micro SD card of all the old files (save two that let me get to the main menu), extracted the game from winRAR, and then tried it out.

    I just got it, and my friend who helped some of my other friends set theirs up didn't help me. AS far as I know, it's real, but I'm not all that good at telling these things :p

    Did you try the other site?? As far as I know all R4 cards work the same way.... Just un-pack the zip file and coppy everything into the microSD card....

    Then why do you have an R4i?? Never mind.... Ok do you still have the box that it came with?? There should be a website on it.... Try to get the kernel from that site.... Ive been reading some help topics online and one of them said they fixed theirs that way....

    Unfortunately my friend happens to be snowboarding with other people right now, so there's no way he can help me until Tues T__T But maybe me and my boyfriend can figure something out...

    Thanks for trying at least :)

    No problem.... One last thing.... If you can somehow get a working flashcart then see if you can copy all the files from the working one into yours.... If it still dosnt work then its your card thats the problem and not the kernel....

    I'll just hope it's not the card :p
