R4 problems

I plug my R4 in and it just goes to the regular menu on the ds and I hate it!HELP?!

you haven't installed a firmware on your R4.

Or you installed it wrong, or you haven't placed the R4 in your DS. If you did, (even if no firmware correctly installed), it still wouldn't go to the DS firmware.

No it worked before...meh?

Just delete and reinstall the firmware. If that doesn't work, could be a fake, or your Slot 1 can't detect most cartridges.
