    well this problem has been bothering me for a week now
    the problem is when i put my R4i Pocket on my dsi
    my dsi menu just shows a picture of a blank cartridge
    when i tried to play it an error shows up
    i had read somewhere maybe it's a contact issue problem i tried the paper trick
    but it still doesn't work
    any suggestions?

    Maybe you downloaded an ofw the DSI Pocket cant handle.
    Or try updating your R4I Pocket.
    Or maybe it's a clone.

    it's not the firmware its the cartridge that has the problem
    and yes it is a clone
    it is updated to the latest firmware

    Try to use another Micro SD.
    If it has the same problem, then its definitly the card.

    That's okay, but seriously get a different card.
    R4i Pocket is not that good.
    Get a AK2i. They're cheap.

    even though Nyman is right about buying another cart. yeah, its a problem of either you cart or ds. try checking if your ds can read commercial games. if it cant, than it is your ds rather than the cart itself. if the game works, than its the cart. try every paper trick there is. probably paper trick combo since it maximizes the contact from cart to ds. and also try cleaning the contacts on both your ds and flashcart

    Tried every thing the paper trick ,the paper trick combo , cleaning both contacts yeah
    been there done that
    well it works now but when i eject it then put it back on the problem is back
    so how can i put new games on it without ejecting the cart? answer:there's no way.so i can't get new games on my cart
