    I have the r4 SDHC
    [​IMG]

    That one

    When i try the R4 Ultra 1.54 kernel, it just goes to loading... and never loads. (The 1.54 is supposed to work on SDHC, its says so on the Mario & Luigi topic). The same thing happens when i try the 1.26 firmware. Please help me.
    (Is there any other firmware that works for Mario & Luigi Bowsers Inside Story?)

    You have bean to the website thats on the box?, Because that is the firmware for that card!, You could try reformating your card, and start again!

    Generally firmware from other clones will not work. That's the main cause of the 'loading' issue.

    Ya but both of them are supposed to work (quoted from other topic):

    ATTENTION ALL R4 SDHC USERS

    How to get Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story working for R4 SDHC Users (Confirmed by kguy528):

    1. Go to R4ultra.com and download the 1.54 english kernel and move files directly to the root of your SD

    2. Download the 1.4.1 Akaio loader from the first page of this topic and move files directly to the root. (Yes, you will use two loaders)

    3. Take a clean rom of ML3, and manually patch it via the patch in the first post of this topic

    4. Instead of going to your roms when you start up your R4, select AKmenu4.nds that should be in the root
    along with the _aio folder. Select your patched ML3 rom and play the game.

    5. There you go! I am well past the bowser tutorial battle so far, and nothing has gone wrong. Enjoy. ;D

    Note: It is very important that the contents of the Akaio 1.4.1 be in the root of your SD card, otherwise it will not work properly. This same method also works for Kingdom Hearts, taking the manually patched ROM and loading it via Akaio.

    One thing i have noticed, is that on my box it says www.r4sdhccn.com and on others it says www.r4sdhc.com. Maybe mine is a bad copy?

    Stick with your original site for firmware

    they are two versions there mabe, R4 SDHC v1.24 kernel and R4i SDHC v1.08 kernel

    You box dose not say R4i, So it must be R4 SDHC v1.24

    All that has to be done to know, Is run ysmenu.nds and save it, If not work's deleate ttmenu folder and ysmenu.nds

    I doubt 1.23 fixes this game, however it works fine with YSMenu/DSTT firmware 1.17a07.

    You most have the kernel from r4sdhc.com

    Language: English/French/Korean/Japanese/Spanish/German/Dutch/Portuguese/Italian
    Updated Date:2009-08-29 15:00:01
    Version: 1.26
    Instructions: R4 v1.26 kernel

    The R4i and the R4Ultra won't work on the R4 SDHC
    I have also a R4 SDHC with a 4GB kingston in it and the other kernels
    will not work on the SDHC I've tried it myseld and it only says loading

    The R4I kernel and the R4Ultra 1.54 kernel
    will not work on a R4SDHC cartridge you will need the
    R4SDHC kernel v. 1.26 (or older if you want) to get it work

    you can find the firmwire at www.r4sdhc.com


    I have the same cartridge as you with a 4 GB micro SD kingston
    with R4 v. 1.26 kernel

    I wonder if it would work on a original R4 card?, I will give it a try later!.

    The one from www.r4li.com did the R4 v1.23 kernel
