R4 Card questions

Hi guys!I just bought an r4 card for my nds lite. Unfortunately, getting it to work is a bit harder than I thought. My card looks like this:EDIT: Pic doesn't work, it's a black card, says: 'R4 Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS). There's no hologram stickers on the back.I have no idea if this is an original or a clone card. I'm using a 4gb SDHC card. I know that the original r4 card doesn't support a 4gb or higher card, but if my card is a clone, should it work? (I've tried searching for an answer online, but I couldn't find it, so I'm sorry for asking a somewhat simple question!)If my card is in fact a clone, is there special firmware I need to use to get it to work with my 4gb SDHC card? Cause I tried R4 wood latest version and it doesn't work...Many thanks!

Hi.Your R4 original will only support anythink up to a 2GB micro SD chipSorry not 4gb sdhc, but could work with a very rare 4gb "Non sdhc"Yes 4GB sdhc will only work on clone R4s, Original R4 only up to 2GB.Also best firmware to date for R4 original is Wood R4 1.57So its possible it maybe your micro sd type causing the issue.Hope some of this helps.

Thanks, I'll buy a 2 gig micro sd card and try it out, I'll let you guys know!

See if a friend has one to borrow maybe in a old mobile are somethink, 512MB / 1GB / 2GB max.Save you buying one just to test.

EDIT:My R4 original looks like thisMake sure the bubbles at the top are half sliced, and not full rounded, if full rounded could mean clone.Half sliced means original.

Yes, thats what mine looks like!So you're sure that's an original r4 card?

That's not the greatest picture in the world, but it looks pretty original to me.
The easiest way is to see if Wood R4 works.

Well Wood R4 doesn't work. But if my card is original, it must be because I'm using a 4gb sdhc card. I'll buy a cheap san disk 2g card tomorrow, and try it out!Thanks!

Yeah. Just read the rest of the topic :)
Just grab a 2GB and try it out. If it works, you got an original and can start playing ROMs.

Sadly its the clone of the original, but not the original.Take a look at the full overalls at the top of your card, as you see original has half overalls along the top ledge.Also the overalls are big, original are squshed.But is they no website on on box it came in, are did you just get the card ?.However it still maybe possible it just the 4GB MicroSD, so try others as a experimenthttp://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=40353.0

Darn... I got it in a small package, from here: http://redsale.nl/V2/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=61The problem I have with it by the way, is that's it's stuck on the loading screen. Could this be related to the micro sd card beging 4g sdhc?

If you pay atttention to detail, that card you posted an image of look fake / clone, the one on the website looks real original.Only thing to do is try a 512mb are 1gb are maybe 2gb chipAre dont know if are it would work, I only own the original and not fake version, and works well with a 2GB mciroSD chip and woodr4 .

I tried a 2 gig card from a friend, it now works perfectly with r4 wood v 1.57.Thanks for the help guys!
