Ok, so I just bought a R4i SDHC gold, and it has the r4ids.com site on the box, but the site won't pull up. Is there any other place I can get the correct software?
By hamletesque - 18/02/2010 22:19:05
Yeah, it's www.r4ids.com
By hamletesque - 18/02/2010 22:33:41
Looks like I finally found an alternate site that works. It's http://www.goodtechtips.com/latest-r4ids-kernel-update-download/
By hamletesque - 18/02/2010 22:54:30
I spoke too soon. I can get NES games to work, but I can't get DS games to work. Would that be a problem with having the wrong software?
By hamletesque - 19/02/2010 19:41:52
I got it from www.leetmod.com and I did send them a message yesterday explaining that I couldn't get the software since the site is down. Hopefully they'll have an alternative.

Related card : www.r4ids.com
Firmware ver : R4ids.com_R4i_Gold_English_V1.31.rar
Site URL : http://www.r4i-software.com/r4i-software-listing/

This firmware works on the r4ids and you should have no problems using it in DS, DSL, DSI
There are other firmwares for other cards on this site also.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sites below have firmwares that work on r4ids cards also tested by me and work just as well

http://www.r4igold.us/r4i-gold-download.htm This site works too

Hope this helps someone

no other web site is going to have the kernel you need. the only kernel that will work comes from the web site that is printed on the box or card. did you remember to format the sd card? did you try to contact the vendor you got it from and get one from memorycardzoo.com.
By fongdingo - 04/08/2010 01:27:32
whats the url (web site) on the card? did you for mat the sd card unrar the files and put each file onto the root of the freshly formatted sd card.

I'm running into a similar problem; feel like I'm banging my head against a wall.
Recently bought my girlfriend a DSi XL (v. 1.4U) and snagged an R4i Gold, because it was supposed to work and stuff.
When I turn on the system, I see the game, "Danny Phantom Urban Jungle THQ," which I understand is normal.  When I load it, I get a frozen black screen that reads, "Loading..." in white letters on the top screen.  Nothing happens.

I've downloaded about 10 different copies of what claim to be the "newest" or "most recent" version of the R4i Gold firmware and every single one produces the same results.  I've tried versions 1.28, 1.31, 1.32, 1.8(??) and 2.12(???) - all claiming to be for R4i Gold hardware, all from different sites that seem to be somewhat authoritative.  My results don't differ in the slightest.
I've tried multiple formats of the card - FAT, FAT32, NTFS - with different versions of the firmware.   All produce the same results: Frozen "Loading..." text on a black screen.

This is the exact product I have:
http://www.ishopvideogame.com/r4i-gold-edition-card-for-nintendo-dsi-p-1702.html

I'm aware people will recommend I double check that I have the right firmware.  I cannot stress enough that I have tried multiple versions of R4i Gold firmware builds and all produce the exact same results.  Is it possible that Nintendo has updated their software but left the version number the same?  It seems plenty of people have their R4i Gold running fine on DSi XL consoles.
I have a DS Lite with an R4 revolution and it works like a charm, always has.

Any insights are greatly appreciated!

Hi, I have a R4i v.1.4 card (the one in the red box) which fails to be recognized in a DSi 1.2E.

The DSi states that there is no game pack inserted. I have downloaded the appropriate software onto a 4gb kingston micro sd card.


Do I have the wrong R4 card?


Thanks, Tracey.

no other web site is going to have the kernel you need. the only kernel that will work comes from the web site that is printed on the box or card. .

What's happening to http://www.r4i-gold.com?
That's the address on back on my card and of an unavailable website.... 

By R4DSCards Tech - 06/01/2010 15:48:35
Always make sure you have the latest version of the Kernel software for your card. 9 out of 10 times this fixes issues people have had with Loading messages and general card not working properly failures.

The latest version for the R4i Gold Cards can be found here: http://www.r4igold.net/r4i-gold-download.html

OR there is another R4 Gold manufacturer and the software is here : http://www.r4ids.com/

Please make sure you check the URL on the front of your card to ensure you get the correct version!!
By R4DSCards Tech - 18/02/2010 14:51:47
Hi,

That site on the side does not seem correct - is there a URL on the actual card itself?
By R4DSCards Tech - 19/02/2010 16:57:13
If the software was wrong then the r4i would not work at all - I've seen other posts on this site about the card you have. Something has obviously happened to the manufacturer as their website has seemingly gone for good :(

You really could do with the latest software - but not sure where you will be able to retrieve it from - have you contacted the vendor of the R4i card? Where did you buy the r4i from?
By R4DSCards Tech - 22/02/2010 09:59:13
Good news http://www.r4ids.com is now working again!
By R4DSCards Tech - 11/05/2010 09:45:34
Hi,


Unfortunately you have been sold an old R4i card that is not compatible with the latest software for your DSi.  Nintendo updated the DSi softwrae some time ago now to version 1.4.  When this happened all R4i (and similar cards) compatibility was broken.  R4 manufacturers created new versions which are compatible with 1.4.  The only way to get around this issue would be to buya new R4i card.  I can recommend an R4i card that is 100% compatible if you would like me too.

Are you sure you are using the right software for your card? What's the URL printed on your card?
By R4DSCards Tech - 14/05/2010 09:32:55
Usually when you get the white screen it means the wrong software or the software is not installed correctly - if you are sure you have done all that properly then it could be the micor sd card is faulty or the card is not being picked up by the r4i card - have you got another micro sd card you can try?
By R4DSCards Tech - 22/06/2010 09:17:40
Hi,


What's the URL on the front of the card? or is there not one?
By R4DSCards Tech - 22/06/2010 17:03:30
Yeah it sounds like you have a faulty card to be honest - this can happen and the error you say is what you would get if the card was faulty - I would steer well away from R4i GOLD cards - we get endless reports of faults on this site with GOLD cards!!!


I you want the best, most reliable R4i card get this one:

Hi,


You are looking for a "Star Wars Lethal Alliance" button but if its days no cart is inserted then it is likely that your R4i is faulty :-(
