One of our most commen technical support emails is the question of why the Nintendo DS or DSi does not work, or rather does not seem to recognize the r4 card or r4i sdhc card even though it is inserted into the game cart slot on the NDS.

IN fact, while this is a common question that requires a solution, it does NOT mean that your R4 Card is not working.  When you see the message on your R4 that thei s no ds card inserted it simply means one of two things, and both of them are very easy to fix.

It has everything to do with the r4 ds card firmware.  You see, much like anyhting else, the r4 card also needs to have firmware installed in order for it to be recognized by your Nintendo DS or Dsi.  In the case of the R4i SDHC - it's no different at all.  You'll still need firmware in order to have the DS recognize your r4 card.

Step 1:

Always make sure to download the right r4 card firmware.  Whether it is the r4 Card ro the R4i SDHC make sure to go to our downloads page and download the right version.

Step 2:

Alway copy the whole extrated files / folders to the root of your microSD card.  That means that you must take all of the files and folders from your download, and copy and paste them over to the microSD card.
