^its hit and miss man. Check the WIKI to find out which games work.

I've got a question now. Does link play between the GBA slot work? Want to know if I'll be able to get my pokes of Sapphire when I Diamond comes out on April 2nd.

Multi-Cart play between R4s should work yes, and an R4 with say Mario Kart (e) should work with official EU Mario Kart carts

And Wifi internet play works as normal

I don't think the GBA link works, thought I could be wrong... one to look out for, if I find the answer, i'll update the FAQ

I just got my R4 today, and put the 1.06 loader from r4ds.com on it.
Everything seems to work fine, except skins. I tried several skins, always putting the four bmp files in the _system_ folder, yet I always get the default one. Has anyone else experienced this problem and maybe managed to fix it?

is the folder in lowercase (_system_ rather than _SYSTEM_)? I've just got a new microsd card, and if I used uppercase characters on 1.06beta (I'm not using final again, it spunked my last card up :~ ) it won't display the skin I choose. took me a few mins to figure out it needed lowercase..

The folder is lowercase, so no go. Thank you for your help though.
I found more people with my problem, (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=435...40&#entry553940)
so I wonder what's causing this.

Does anyone know if the R4 DS combo of mod-chip store works good?
So if the MicroSD card works good with the R4 DS?

Some stage back I had the same problem (except with 1.06 beta). I was just messing around with settings. The think the thing that made it work was either making the skin files read only (probably not), then downloading the firmware from a different website.

Thats the card reader I got in an r4 last week.  Works fine.

My little plastic cart case was blue rather than turquoise though - and had a strap rather than a keychain.


I got the exact same package as you. The blue case with a strap, and the same MicroSD reader. I got mine JUST when the new batch came through. This was about 2 weeks ago.



I got my r4 from gameyeeeah.com, but in the package just include only the white color shell. They said "Due to the material shortage, Current retail packaging will just include only the white color shell, the dark grey replacement shell will not include in contents." I just though i should order it early, :'(

Dear Sam,
    Thank you so much, I am really appreciated.

BTW, We just changed a supplier of the USB card reader, so this new batch of R4 has a more reliable Card reader along. You can tell your guys about this. I send you a picture of the new USB card reader.

Attachment 2




I've got that reader and it really works...even after 3 weeks throwing it on the floor and picking back up (it's really small, and you can attach the strap to it smile.gif

i am thinking about getting an r4 and have a question. Am i correct in thinking this device does not need the save file lists like the ez flash v and ninja pass? From what i understand on those units everytime a new game is out the save list needs to be update to tell the device what type of save it uses. If the r4 does not need this file then does it automatically detect the save type when you load up a game? Thanks
