    hi folks new to the board,

    i heard about this site and decided to come and see the games,

    now i have a memory card inserted into the computer in order to save the roms onto, the memory card has an adaptor to use in my ds

    now, i have tried to download the roms and load them up on the ds but it just hangs and says loading

    now, do i need to nstall somethin on the memory card in order to play the roms on my ds

    what do i need to do?

    What is the name of this adapter? Depending on the type, you have to put different firmware files on it. R4, Acekard, CycloDS, Edge, Supercard, etc.

    the adaptor is called R4 SDHC Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS)

    Unfortunately there are a few different cards called the "R4 SDHC" that use different files.
    Is there a website listed on the card or on the box?

    Probably this one:
    http://www.r4new.com/index-en.htm

    And no, any of the won't work, you will need the firmware for your specific card.
    Download this one:
    http://www.r4i-sdhc.com.hk/r4new_downloads/English_v1.34.rar

    Extract the files, (see the link Seph posted). Take the files out of the English_1.34 folder and put them on your MicroSD.

    just extracted the files onto the card, then drag and dropped the rom games on to the card, plugged it into my ds and still nothin, all it says is loading thats it, am i missing a file or somethin?

    do i need to put the games in a folder as i am just putting them with the extracted files?

    i must say that before hand, the memory card was formatted so nothin will be on before i put files on

    When you open your MicroSD on your computer, it should look like this:
    [​IMG]

    If any of these files are missing, or if they are in a folder, it won't work correctly.

    i have an r4 sdhc from r4sdhc.com its not very good and it recently broke, i hope yours doesent.
    also just extract them into the root folder of your sd card the r4 will be able to boot up after that

    you put it in a folder and you probably have extensions hidden

    Maybe try this one instead?
    http://www.r4i-sdhc.com.hk/r4new_downloads/English_v1.24.rar
    or this one.
    http://www.r4sdhc.com/down/R4/English-1.34.rar (pretty sure that's the same as the previous one I posted though).
