downloading

Hi, I'm new to this and have just spent ages downloading some games but only half of them work - does anyone know why?? The ones that won't work are : Ben 10, Wall E, Tinkerbell, Golden Balls, Imagine Fashion Model and My Farm Around The World. I'm in the UK and using an R4 for the ds. Thank you

There are relevant threads that discuss how to run these games smoothly on your emulator &/or flashcart on the Technical Help section. Head on over there or try inputting the titles of those games on the search bar to easily locate those threads. :)Thread locked.

Hi, I'm also from the UK and a bit new to this so the advice I give must be taken knowing that I too am a bit of a noob....
Lots of games didn't work when I just downloaded them, but i you keep the latest firmware updated for the version of the R4 card you use then most of the problems I found were fixed.
Oh, just one final tip before I go, try to make sure you post your question to the right board. I'm the moderators get pretty fed up with us noobs posting in the wrong place and moving it for us..Chhers

Not really :)But I'm sure anand gets drained eventually for answering these questions over & over but nothing like a good night's sleep can fix.

Part of the confusion in this topic is the differences between the original R4 and its clones. People don't realise they have a clone, or they don't know which clone they have. there's even some cases of people trying to run clone firmware on an original R4 because they don't realise that the hardware is sufficiently different for it not to work. With very few exceptions, a firmware will only work on the exact clone/original it was designed for and not on any other. This is why it is important that people pay attention to exactly which cart they have. Knowing that it is an 'R4' is no longer good enough.

What would you recommend instead of R4?

Cyclo or Acekard 2. Read gbatemp.net then Reviews tab for the Reviews section.
