I've had my R4 for about 7 months and it's been working great for all that time. Recently I wanted to play Meccha Taiko and I got the "Save file could not be read" message, so I followed the instructions in the "read me first" thread and tried to update my firmware. NOw, I just get stuck at a Loading... screen. I tried formatting and reinstalling the old firmware again, but it didn't work. My DS still plays regular games, but it gets stuck when the R4 tries to load. Help?

Try following the R4 tutorial in the tutorial section to make sure you're installing the firmware properly.

That once happened to me, I just took out the cartridge and the SD and inserted then back in "harder" and "better" you could say... and it started working >_>
M
Followed the tutorial, still no good. Anyone one else had this problem or have any suggestions?
A
Make sure that the problem isnt your microSD card, do you have another one to see if it works then?
M
I don't, but i will borrow one tomorrow, thanks. if anyone else has suggestions please keep them coming

That happend to me too. All I had to do was re-download kernel v1.18 and deleated the new one, v1.21, and it worked just fine.

you might not have replaced all the files for the firmware, so you may have two firmwares
M
I formatted my card and then replaced the files
R
what kernal version and from what website are you using??
M
got it from http://r4ds.cn/tried 1.18, then reformatted and tried to go back to 1.17 but it doesn't want to work again
A
Download it from http://www.linfoxdomain.com/ds/

Just a quick point the official firmware for the R4 is v1.18, the v1.21 is for the cloned R4sdhc

After some stressing I did some research about r4 clones/fakes, and it turns out I have an R4 III. I got the correct drivers and it works fine now. Maybe you can add that to the read this first section? and maybe a link to a tutorial on how to figure out if you have a real R4
A
Well it's not too hard to figure out what exact flashcart you have, and how to get the firmware for it.
