    I want to play Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey and Pokemon Heart Gold, but I have problems with both. Pokemon freezes and Strange Journey won't save. The firmware I'm using is V1.08b.

    Here's a pic of the one I'm using http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/images/p08.jpg

    What do I have to do to make newer games work?
    Thank you

    Pokemon Heart Gold has anti-piracy on it.
    You may need to upgrade your firmware or get a new card.

    Download the 1.20b kernel, extract to root, play.

    Good luck.

    BTW, the R4 SDHC always keeps updated.
    My first generation R4i is nothing more then a game-playing device with almost no updates...

    So the only way I can play newer games is to upgrade to a newer card? I tried using 1.20b but my r4 can't use it, it says I need newer hardware.

    Then you need to use 1.09c...

    I have the same problem :)

    And yes, it's the only way.
    You CAN (and I say CAN) try using YSmenu, but more or less you have no luck.

    But if you want to use that card, use 1.09c.
