Hacking common for r4 to not be recognized sometimes?

[111111111]

The M3 got stuck at the "Loading..." screen every time. I took it out and placed it back in. I cleaned the contacts. Nothing seemed to work.

Did you try a different microsd card? (or check that your microsd card is recognised in the pc?).

My r4 corrupted one of my microsd cards, and it stuck on the loading screen whenever that card was inserted.

yes. I tried 3 different cards. All of which were recognized by the computer and other devices. 2 Kingston, and 1 Sandisk. i also tried both file formats (FAT FAT32) and I tried all 3 M3DS Loaders (v1.00, 1.01, 1.02). I couldn't figure anything out.

this used to happen with my passwe3, but hasn't happened since i started using the R4

 

[jalaneme]

it happened once with my R4 i blowed in the DS and re inserted and it never happened again.

i'm with Dirtie on this one: had this happen when i shut the DS off an turned it back on again fast (somehow i'm not comfortable with the reset-to-menu-function i guess...)
apart from that i never had a problem once with my R4

(so glad i didnt rush for one of the first slot1-solutions out!...)

thanks for all the responses...at least i found out the point of the topic...that it is common and doesnt hinder the performance past that...r4 is my first slot 1 and it works awesome..also my microsd card is fine, is recognized in the computer and my ez4 dlx no problem ( i have an ultra II sandisk 1GB btw and seems to run all the games i like to play flawlessly, if ne1 needs anything tested lemme know) thanks again for all the responses.

Sucks :/ did you get it replaced ok?

Hrm... My r4 doesn't seem to work no matter what... I bought it from sky2k.com. I hope it won't be a hassle returning it...

This happened to me with both R4 and original game carts so I think the problem is with the DS not the R4..

I returned it on Thursday Feb, 08, 2006 to modchipstore. they should get it tuesday and hopefully send me a new one, or give me a refund. I am not very good at this whole "QOUTE THING", can someone explain. sorry for the newb questions. Thanks for the help guys, it is much appreciated.

Once my R4 boots up it works like that all the time. Mines not worked once or twice but I found taking the microsd out and putting it back in again got it working. I've had no problems at all lately. I've never had any problems with any of my supercards not booting and I've had a Supercard SD, mini and micro.

 

[teH XeRO]

yeah i think its just an issue with the contacts...because once i have it in and it works, it always works, its sometimes when i take it out and put it back in that sometimes it doesnt boot (which hasnt happened for a while now neway) and all i do to fix it is take it out and put it back in.

I had the same problem with my chip which I bought from ozmodchips. It would not load at all and said "game not inserted". Tried everything but it didn't work, so I am returning the chip asap.

 

[Frederica Bernkastel]

Thats cause the R4 sucks...
as soon as I got my M3, I played every game normally, without freezing and the game being removed half-way...

 

[hova1]

happens to me too sometimes. i just put it out, blow into the ds slot and reinsert it.

 

[Dizon]

This has not happened to me before but during the last few days it started to. I just re-insert it to work but I'm worried that if this continues, sooner or later the R4 would stop working completely.

This is a somewhat common problem. One thing you can try is what is known as "The Paper Trick":

To do the fix:
1. Remove the small screw from the r4ds.
2. Remove the back and remove the main chip.
3. Tear a small piece of paper off of something and fold that piece but make sure its not very large (you just want the chip to sit a little bit higher).
4. Put the piece of paper onto what is now the front-back side on the place where the contacts used to be sitting on the r4ds and put the chip on top of it, making sure its aligned to the front.
5. Finally sit the back of the r4 on`top of it, snap it together and finally screw it back together.
6. The contacts should now be bulging out just a little bit and they will now make better contact with the DS contacts and it should work.


If the problem you're actually having is an issue with the contacts on the R4 not being flush with those in the DS... this should help a little.

the paper trick should do the trick

HEY THAT RHYMES...sordof
