WHAT SOFTWARE TO USE: When there is no URL on your card

R4DSCards Tech — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 23:06:31 GMT

[b]Please only use this post if there is NO url on your ds card. If there is a URL on your card then that is where you need to visit to download the software for your DS card.

If you have a DS card but there is no URL for a software download on the sticker of your DS card then try the following:

1) Check the packaging to see if there is URL printed on there somewhere - usually there will be one on the back of the box the card came in.

2) Ask the shop you bought it fro

WHAT SOFTWARE DO I NEED?

R4DSCards Tech — Thu, 20 May 2010 09:50:32 GMT

If you already know what type of card you have and just want to be pointed in the right direction to get the latest software for your card then the best thing to do is use the URL that is most likely printed on the front of your DS card. That is the URL you [b]MUST[/b] use for the software for your card.

Even if you already have a working DS card that you think is identical to your new one it is imperative that you always use the most recent software. The internal architecture of the card can c

DSi Firmware 1.5 - Is it a myth?

R4DSCards Tech — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 12:10:49 GMT

We have been trying to find out more details with regards to the much publicised DSi firmware 1.5.

In the past, when Nintendo released their firmware update 1.4 this resulted in all of the DS cards (R4 cards, DSTT etc) obsolete. They simply could not function on DSi's (Including the new DSi XL). Not even a kernel update form the DS card would rectify the issue. The only way forward was to wait until the R4 manufacturers updated their hardware and this meant that we a

DSi firmware 1.5

R4DSCards Tech — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 17:55:38 GMT

We have heard that Nintendo are releasing a new operating system software update in a phased update across the globe. We have had reports of semingly random updates for people in he UK, but not for everybody. Our DSi consoles say they are up to date but are only running 1.4E.

We will know more about the compatibility of the new DSi software version 1.5 when we get the update but for now, to ensure your R4 card works (or R4i, DSTT etc) - avoid updating to version 1.5. If you do this could
