What make of R4 is it from your box or card ?The website on your box , has the correct firmware for it!

yes, was working great just before i put the new games on. any ideas?

It either cannot find the system files (firmware) or the MicroSD is not seated properly in the card anymore (happens sometimes).

hiya, th make of my r4 is r4 revolution for ds (ndsl/nds) http://www.r4ds.comPost Merge: [time]1262211089[/time]
how do i get the firmware back?

Check to see if the Firmware is on your MicroSD.
There should be:
A folder called moonshl
A folder called _system_
A file called _DS_MENU.DAT
A file called _DS_MSHL.NDSIf it's not, download it from that site you just listed.Or if you want a more compatible firmware, check out this thread.
https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php?topic=27617.0It has an unofficial firmware that works well.

thanks, will i have to delete all my games off r4 before downloading files again?

You shouldn't have to. You should backup everything before doing anything though, so you don't lose your save files.Is your firmware not on the card anymore?

Thanks TirithRR in it befor me,But the qurstion is a microsd chip display?, That sounds odd to meThe ownly one that dose that is ttmenu firmware, if it's done rong...

I believe most of the R4s and R4 clones (DSTT included) display the "menu?" error when it can't find firmware or the MicroSD.

i can only see moonmemo, moonshl2 and r4 menu

Yeah. My R4i and R4 SDHC do that.

abbitweetypie · #15added the r4.dat and now my micro sd is saying: fake card! please return to retailer?

That happened to me too. You are using the R4 Original that should look like this?:
R4Revolution for DS
(NDSL/NDS)Then download the firmware from the site you mentioned.If the card looks like this:
Download from here.
