Using ROMS on my DS

hi folks new to the board,i heard about this site and decided to come and see the games,now i have a memory card inserted into the computer in order to save the roms onto, the memory card has an adaptor to use in my dsnow, i have tried to download the roms and load them up on the ds but it just hangs and says loadingnow, do i need to nstall somethin on the memory card in order to play the roms on my dswhat do i need to do?

What is the name of this adapter? Depending on the type, you have to put different firmware files on it. R4, Acekard, CycloDS, Edge, Supercard, etc.

Does this thread help: http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=3880.0 ?

the adaptor is called R4 SDHC Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS)

Unfortunately there are a few different cards called the "R4 SDHC" that use different files.
Is there a website listed on the card or on the box?

no, but the card logo is black with silver writing on, if that helpsi need to know as it is not mine, will any be able to work?

http://www.r4ds.me/thats what it looks like next to the box

Probably this one:
http://www.r4new.com/index-en.htmAnd no, any of the won't work, you will need the firmware for your specific card.
Download this one:
http://www.r4i-sdhc.com.hk/r4new_downloads/English_v1.34.rarExtract the files, (see the link Seph posted). Take the files out of the English_1.34 folder and put them on your MicroSD.

just extracted the files onto the card, then drag and dropped the rom games on to the card, plugged it into my ds and still nothin, all it says is loading thats it, am i missing a file or somethin?do i need to put the games in a folder as i am just putting them with the extracted files?

i must say that before hand, the memory card was formatted so nothin will be on before i put files on

When you open your MicroSD on your computer, it should look like this:
If any of these files are missing, or if they are in a folder, it won't work correctly.

i have an r4 sdhc from r4sdhc.com its not very good and it recently broke, i hope yours doesent.
also just extract them into the root folder of your sd card the r4 will be able to boot up after that

it shows exactly that, but where it says menu.ini on that picture, mine only says menuwhere do i put the games, and will this be a problem as my ds seems not to find whats on the card

you put it in a folder and you probably have extensions hidden

Maybe try this one instead?
http://www.r4i-sdhc.com.hk/r4new_downloads/English_v1.24.rar
or this one.
http://www.r4sdhc.com/down/R4/English-1.34.rar (pretty sure that's the same as the previous one I posted though).

when u downloaded the game did u extract it using winrar??

i used this link and it workedhttp://www.r4i-sdhc.com.hk/r4new_downloads/English_v1.34.rarthanks but when i go to a game and press Y to go in the cheats menu, it is all in chinese even tho the files are ment to be in english, is there a way to get cheats for all the games in english please??? thanks
