    PURCHASED A R4I-GOLD FROM PRICE ANGELS AT A GREAT PRICE,,, THE KERNAL LOADS FINE , WHEN THE GAMES DISK LOADS IT HAS THE SPONGE BOB ICON,,,, then it goes to three choices,, a pic of a sd card, a pic of slot 2 then a pic of an empty folder,,, i select the sd card ( of coarse ) then the games so up but they do not load...

    i have worked on several different cards in the past,,,and never had a problem like this,,,, i can send pic if you email me,, [email protected]

    How many games have you tried to play?

    What I mean is, are you sure they won't play due to Anti-Piracy?

    the SDFormatter is a better tool, it may make a difference

    I can only think it can be 1 of 2 things:

    Try a different microSD, or are you sure you have the correct firmware?

    just seems odd that the games pop up , but dont load,,,, usually with wrong firm-ware i get the loading screen for white screen,,, these games pop up just no further,,,

    got it working,,,, crazy thing , when i downloaded the kernal it was in a folder (_rpg) usually i open that folder and transfer that to the sd card,,, with this kernal i guess you move over the closed folder then the _DS_MENU.dat.. to the sd card,,, anyways im up and running
