Wood Firmware with Original R4 and 4gb Micro SD HC

HiI put Wood firmware on my R4 with 2gb Micro SD as the original firmware wasn't loading games and it worked perfectly. I then upraded to a 4gb Micro SD HC card but I cannot even load firmware on my DS all I get is 'Loading...'Is anyone able to help?Thank you

Original R4 can not use MicroSD SDHC chips, Only 2GB microSD chip, are a rare "non sdhc" 4gb chipHow ever you can try this YSMenu build for R4 originals <- If this is what you haveSee on this page, YSMenu v6.53.1 for R4 Originals Only + Softreset+ Latest iluvfupaburgers 03/06/2011 Cheats v24.0http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=43121.0

No, R4 original doesn't support sdhc and this is the only disadvantage of this card.

I tried that and ended up with these in root...
NDS Games (folder)
TTmenu (folder)
_DS_MENU.DAT
R4BOOT.DATI put all my games inside NDS Games and started DS up but I'm presented with a black screen with the text Loading...Am I doing it right?I didn't think it matters which R4 card version you had because everything is run from the SD card the R4 is just a way for the DS to access what is on the micro SD. That is what I thought anyway

If you did have an R4 original then them files should work no peoplem, Backup your games and saves , do a full format and try againUse 2GB microSD only for R4 original cardIf not then maybe you have a R4 clone, See if you can find a image of your R4 and post this link hearHow to add image

Ok This is EXACTLY how the my R4 looks

@smushThe firmware it should work 100% on that and that is a R4 original, Where you using the 2GB MicroSD chip ?I have the same typeSDHC MicroSD chips will not work on that, as the R4 dose not support SDHC MicroSD Chips

Ok and there isn't any firmware out that can make them work? I don't see why they wont work it's only SDHC.

Ok try this on your 2GB microSD chipuse panasonic sd formatterhttp://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html

2. Panasonic SD Formatter : Formats your microSD. Use these options : FORMAT TYPE - FULL (Erase ON) : FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT - ON.

Re-Place firmware yes them files abouth ^ , Add a game in NDS Games folder for now and give that a try!

No R4 original card dose not support that type of microSD chip, only 2GB microSD normal chips it dose!R4 SDHC Clone cards support , 4GB SDHC MicroSD Chips

My 2gb microSD already was working with Wood firmware it was the 4gb SDHC I couldn't get working but you've made it clear that it wont work.
Thank you for helping

No problem!, YSMenu should be much better on your R4 original + 2GB microSD with the lastest games, up-to dat with Roms number 5596 <- Don't know why it should not when it dose.. weird XD!, Maybe a good format with PS SD FormatterBasically you need a Card that will support SDHC micro SD typeR4 original came out long before, micro SD SDHC chips did, resion for not supporting that type of chip

Yes will have to order R4i SDHC Which I did but cancelled my order because I got my 1gb SD card working with Wood Firmware and then decided to get a bigger card but the only 4gb cards are all SDHC so will have to re-order that R4i SDHC. I'm guessing the 4gb micro sdhc I got will work in the R4i SDHC?
