    Ok, so im not new to the R4, ive been using dslazy to swap the arm7.bin when i need to... but for some reason i cant get this one to work... ive tried several different downloads... as well as i tried without swaping the arm7, i get the "cant read card" error, then i did with the swap and i get a completely black screen, but after waiting say 20 seconds i can hear the game playing... but no video.

    so can anyone help me out? i have the newest kernel update, i tried japanese, european, and usa and none worked with or without the arm 7 swap... all my other games are working fine.

    any ideas?

    Try using an ARM7 binary from other games that you know work well on your R4.

    not to sound retarded... but ive never done that before, how would that work? just copy it from a rom i have previously downloaded? like elektroplankton since its an old one?

    No. A ROM that already works on your R4, or you know worked on it in the past. Use binaries from different games. Also, are you using the latest firmware for your type of R4?

    yeah i have the newest update, now, i tried copying the arm7 from elektroplankton (since ive had it and used it before...) and i cant just copy it and paste it using dslazy... or can i?

    Yes. Unpack the ROM with DSLazy, copy the binary file over, unpack the Stardust ROM, paste and replace, repack into a ROM.

    sorry if i sound stupid... but what do you mean binary file? just the arm7.bin right? cause i tried, and it wouldnt let me... like, i copied from elektroplankton, then i deleted the crappy arm7 from stardust, hit paste, and nothing would paste.

    The ARM7.bin or binary yes. Why not? You do not need to delete the file, just copy and overwrite since they're named the same. You said you did ARM7 before?
