    Try this on a formatted microds chip

    DSTT v1.17a12 YSmenu For R4 Original Users , Updated 2010/03/03

    If it is a original R4 then it should work, if not it might be a clone R4 card

    Are you using a 2gb microSD chip for your card , as that is what the original R4 can handle upto

    seconds

    But are you using a 2gb microSD ?, anythink bigger will cause problems with the original R4

    If its a non SDHC chip , then it might work

    But dose it say SDHC ?

    but if it dose then you need a R4 SDHC to work with SDHC microSD chip

    Do you have a problem with the kernal v1.18 also ?

    Yes most likely your microDS SDHC is the problem
    Post Merge: [time]1267647937[/time]
    I would recomend 2gb kingston , for R4 original

    But most 2Gb should work, but not SDHC type

    emmm other than getting games after like 4000 to work i think its when it doesnt work. actually ya know the r4li.com site? continues to make r4 f/w? well i shoved in v1.23 into the ds and it worked, any game, BUT none of the games saved even though the .sav files were created


    edit: oh yeah i used this one too :/ and your tutorial i have bookmarked it was like a start point for me haha

    If you bought it with a 4gb kingston microsd chip , then your R4 card will be SDHC type...

    So your original firmware website should be on the box it came in

    Im starting to think it might not be an R4 original from www.r4ds.com

    novgoradIam Member

    yup thats the site, i still have the box and it says that site. but the 4gig card came in seperate package than the r4, it was like a special offer on the net :D

    Not one in a older mobile, a friend might have even 256 or 128 mb microSD might do for testing!

    You very lucky bas*rd lol!, congrats

    exsteamy thin.......

    But you may need a power lead to keep the bat charged

    Anyway anyluck with Ysmenu .... , The R4 in the DSI might be diffrent like R4 SDHC type, as a original R4 dose not suport DSI...
