R4 card not working after update

It's been a while since I've had an R4 card, but if I remember correctly you can always download the "firmware" from the internet and transfer it manually to your SD card. Is the R4 interface not loading anymore? Corbin dallas. How do you connect your DS lite to the internet they don't natively do that?

The game save function and program routine is part of the game cartridge the r4 operating system does not have that instruction set. Even if it could or I have misunderstood and you are actually referring to do this with a DSi R4s are updated by replacing the operating system which comes in a zipped file. Nothing that Nintendo has put out to date can unpack a zipped file.

Learning is my first love. Please teach me how to do this. I'd love to sort it out I am surprised you would ask that. Everyone knows that the main reason to save the earth is because it is the only planet with chocolate. What good would it do you to live here if you don't partake of it's goodness - at least a little.

You can sell or give your old card to someone who hasn't updated their bios. Get the newest firmware for the new card to be able to the latest rom releases.

Well, the latest upgrades of the DSi have locked the access to older cards and firmwares, for obvious reasons. I won't get in detail, but only a few people are honest enough to use the flashcards to play titles they already own, or to keep playing the old GBA titles he used to have. Thus, with almost every single update Nintendo tweaks the firmware codes that bit that's needed to prevent the flashcart to run. Some flashcarts, like the Supercard or newer, simply shell out new firmwares to counter every Nintendo firmware.

Some other cart can be updated only with firmwares compatible with older revisions of the Nintendo Devices. You may recognize a newer flashcard because it has special markings on the sticker, such as a golden "V1.

However, I suggest you next time to open a new question to get a swift reply, since this one is already years old. Make sure you get the right kind. Barry Kane. SlickNicky10 slicknicky Mario Van Tol. The best way is too set ur date back all the way to at any date.

Although it may corrupt or destroy some of ur game data in the game. But it should work if the card is expired and comes up with some red text. As well as if u want to play a normal game cardige then just set the date back.

This mainly would work on the 3ds. But if you have a dsi then you have to go into the settings by taking out the r4 and any other inputs. Then I had just tampered around then when I turned it on and on the games worked. I hope it works but yeah it might not.

I recently updated my dsi and now the card does not work and shows error message. Is there a way to rectify this problem or do I need to buy a new card. Hi I am having much the same problem and would love some smart cookie out there to help please. Im running R4i Gold card v1. Can i upgrade the card to v1.

Have had a look and there seems to be warnings NOT to upgrade. Thank you for reading this and thank you in advance for any suggestions regards. Same problem here, but I don't think there's a solution for it. It's been a month and I still haven't seen any updated firmware released to fix this problem, so I'm pretty sure we won't get one.

I'm guessing the only solution now would be to buy a 3DS card, which supposedly isn't affected by the upgrade.

Ridler , Jul 26, I have just received this message from som1 in another forum I would advise you to visit the manufacturers website for your particular card before you look at making another purchase.

Hopefully your current card will be supported again! Sounds like the R4i gold you have is the old R4i gold, not the R4i gold 3ds card, yesterday R4i gold team have already released the new patch for R4i gold to make it work on DSi V1. I like it how, in order to install the upgrade that makes carts work again, you have to use your cart Couldn't they released it in a downloadable form?

Ridler , Jul 28, Hi Have just downloaded this R4i English V1. It does not work for me.
