I hate to make this my first post, but I've been researching this since 6 pm yesterday, and eventually gave up at around 3 in the morning. I've googled just about everything. I'm losing sleep. it would be such a problem if it didn't feel like a deadline (I'm going on a VERY long trip tomorrow. I'll be stuck in a car for an entire day)
here are the details. I have an R4 SDHC card which I'm fully aware since yesterday, that it's a "clone" yet still able to support SOME kind of firmware... the problem is, WHAT firmware.
here's a picture of my card that I personally took a picture of, because I tried to google the card I had, and couldn't find any identical ones. they get VERY close, but notice, my card has a website on the bottom, opposed to the closest ones I've seen, which are near identical, except for that one feature. I don't want to sound paranoid, but I can't help but point it out.
my problem is the ever so typical "loading..." screen error. funny thing is, I've tried just about every firmware I could find. (yes, I format using SD formatter after every attempt) I've tried wood, and even ysauto (I can't seem to find a legitimate ysmenu download, or one that says it supports "clones"... it just ended up confusing me further) and went to that japanese site to "generate" firmware or whatever it is that ysauto does. none of them work. the card I bought didn't come with the box, so I went to the website that was on my card and downloaded the firmware from there, and still "loading..."
now, I can't say for sure that I've tried every firmware there is since I can't seem to find a site with a complete list of them. but I've tried quite a few... enough to think that it might not be just the firmware. but what do I know. what confused me even further was reading an article a few hours ago about how there are "official" firmwares, and "clone firmwares", meaning I could have the right firmware version, but if it's "official" it won't work. so I have no idea where to go from here
