HELP Pls - I can't get any games working on a DS lite using a R4Ds card-

I think I may be missing a step as when I insert the games into the DS lite it just sticks on game loading
I have completed the following with a R4Ds card
1 - Downloaded WinRAR
2 - Selected the games - click on the European option and selected the European server
3 - Saved onto my harddrive and extracted the file.
4 - Click on the folder and selected the .nds file
5 - Copied onto the USB card
6 - Inserted into the SD card into he R4ds card
7 - Loaded onto the DS lite
Then it just comes up as "Loading" - Any advice please

Do you have the correct firmware for your card on the MicroSD?

Make sure take all the files out of the folder when you extract the firmware.

Can we ask what type of R4, From your box or card?Then we can help you more!...

On the card it states - R4 Revolution for DS(NDSL/NDS). It is a Scandisk 4GB Micro SD Micro SD. Can you advise on the firm ware as I'm not sure if I've even downloaded any firmware - sorry not that great on the tech side of things

If it is this oneThen useDSTT v1.17a12 For R4 Original Usershttp://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mxtlngy5jyrEDIT: also you can use non "SDHC" 4gb microSD card

Jhon 591First that version of R4 can ownly take a upto a 2GB microSD card, The 4GB might be causeing the problemsUnless its a R4 Revolution for DS(NDSL/NDS) SDHC ?

There are non-SDHC 4GB MicroSD cards that work with the R4.

It will on a SDHC type

No,you misunderstood me.
I mean, 4GB Micro SD that are NOT SDHC exist,and they work with the Original R4.
They're quite rare though.

The Original R4 doesn't support SDHC.
That's probably whats causing the the problem.

What SD card should i buy?

Replying to #14

As long as it does not say "SDHC" it'll work.
2GB ones are common.

For pic abouth ^ any 2gb microSD or 1gb microSD will do!For the R4 with the simble SDHC, then you need a microSD Card with SDHC simble on it also

I would recomend kingston microSD 2gb, for your normal R4http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=kingston+microSD+2gb&meta=&aq=f&oq=Get them from most shops and markets for about £8
