Hacking Stuck on "Loading..." screen, complete NOOB please help.

[ShopFear]

I just received 3 R4 SDHC cards from R4-Usa.com I've tried several different kernels. Does ANYONE know which ones I'm supposed to use? PLEASE HELP, Yes I am a complete NOOB, I bought these for my children and they are freaking out wanting them to work. Thanks!!


P.S

I attached photos to see if it may help.

P.S.S

I'm using a 32GB card, it's supposed to support up to 32GB, so I dont think that's the problem. But I'm going to try a smaller card.

First link, same thing. Straight to loading screen.

 

[Ozito]

Then maybe it's a clone as stated in the second link i posted.
It's quite a long post but you should read it.

 

[ShopFear]

Reading through that now.

Yes, you have a clone as the original R4 does not support SDHC, you're gonna have a major problem trying to find the correct Kernel, you should of had some documentation when purchased to inform you of where to get the correct Kernel.

I tried to find info for him at R4-usa.com (Where he bought it) but couldn't find anything.

Yeah i know that it's gonna be difficult, he could try https://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/

Old kernels i know, but one of em may get the carts working.

 

[ShopFear]

on the card it has a link for r4ds.com but I've tried all of those and none are working either...

r4ds.com has the kernel for the original R4 (v1.18), and you haven't got that cart due to your carts being SDHC.

 

[Ozito]

Well i didn't look carefully enough, it says on r4-usa that team that makes you card is
http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/downloade.asp

Kernel without "i" mark is for your card

I've tried all those downloads as well... none work. I'm going to try a smaller SD card, maybe they sent me the wrong cards, though I ordered the SDHC It's the last thing to try at this point

 

[Ozito]

I don't want to sound condescending, but how are you putting the files in the card?
What structure do they have?

 

[ShopFear]

They are .rar files, I'm unzipping them into the SD card.

My be a silly question but seeing as you said you're a complete NOOB,i'll ask

You are extracting the firmware once you've downloaded it?

 

[Ozito]

You har supposed to have 4 files at root, 3 folders and one .DAT file.
With that said you are supposed to extract first then transfer whats inside the folder

Folders;
moonmemo
moonshl2
R4imenu

File:
R4.dat

What i mean with root, is a the "base" of the memory card not inside any other folder

 

[ShopFear]

I'm a noob with cards not computers, lol. I extract the files to the card, once they are extracted they become folders. which are as follow:

MoonMemo
MoonShl2
R4iMenu
R4.Dat

You also might want to try reformattng the SD card. A corrupted card can make a loading screen come up and never leave.

 

[ShopFear]

Just formatted again, first time was quick format, 2nd I did a complete format. I also tried all 3 of the R4 cards to see if there was any corruption in the cards themselves.
