It is for the SD card.
Micro SD instructions:
- If 4 GB or higher, it is SDHC
- If 1 or 2 GB, it is SD
Highest capaticy: 32 GB

Ok its an SDAlso i have games on my R4 that work but new downloads dont work, will formatting remove games already downloaded?
Y
Yes. Formatting COMPLETELY empty's the card.
You should make an backup of your old games that work before formatting.
Backup = copying files to the computer
Get the latest firmware for your card, format the SD card (after backing up) and copy all files you want back.

If the firmware is on it, yes.
Copy the firmware to the ROOT of your SD card.
Then it must work :)
For the firmware link download: http://download.r4ds.me/download/English-1.18.rar
If it says "Service temporary unavailable", refresh the page.
M
Nothing will work cant even get the R4 display when inserted.. i have tried everything. :'(
time for a cuppa

Get fresh firmware.
(Fresh = new copy)
M

Delete the old firmware.
_DS_MENU.dat
_DS_MENU.ini
_DS_MENU.sys
_system_
^Delete that.
(if I am wrong, I use an R4 SDHC, so sorry if this is not the same)
Now, wait until the download has finished, then unpack it in the ROOT.
M
ahh the silly internet has said it wont download now ....i give up
thanks for all your help but i really havent the patience to keep this going today..
