Could not locate file, _DS_MENU

I read the common issues section aswell and it is still giving me the error, and im certain the flash cart isnt fake as I've been using it for the past year or so.
So is there any other advice which can help me?

It cannot find your firmware files. Or your MicroSD.Make sure you have the correct firmware files for your flashcart on your MicroSD.

Yes im sure I have, I formatted my microSD then re downloaded the R4 v1.18 kernel from www.r4ds.com
