Hacking Frozen on Loading... screen

[dpj13]

I have recently purchased an R4 for my Nintendo DS however i am having a problem. When i turn on my DS there is a screen that says Loading... and then nothing happens. I have followed the instructions properly from the instuction manual and from a few other sources. I put the _system_, moonshl, _DS_MENU.DAT, and _DS_MSHL.NDS files/folders onto my microSD along with a .nds game. I have tried reformatting my microSD many times and still nothing. Is this a common problem? Are there any solutions to this problem?

Have you tried using the latest version?

 

[dpj13]

yes i have tried using the latest version which is 1.13.....i also tried putting my microSD in the R4 without any files on it and it does the exact same thing. Could it not be reading the microSD?

Try getting a new game, maybe the nds file is the problem.

*sigh* As I stated in another thread blow on the contacts of your r4.

It's probably not reading the MicroSD or R4 properly. Try cleaning the contacts.

hey its also happening to me
I try a toshiba(it used to work like a charm) and kingston 1 gig sd card Ft32 and it always freeze on the loading screen .
I try a sandisk 512 and it work 100 % . I found out that the sandisk(made in taiwan) is a bit thicker compared toshiba and kingston(both made in japan )
Could it be the Sd card problem r more likely the R4 ?

Why the heck do you have 2 topics on the same thing, even in the same forum?! I don't wanna be mean or mod-like or anything, but just post one topic.

Anyways, my R4 does that too. Try adjusting your SD card left or right in the R4. Or just reformat.

Sometimes wedging a piece of paper between the r4 and the NDS while the R4 is inserted helps. Otherwise try taking out the r4 and microsd then putting it back in and turning on the ds again and again can sometimes help.

Place a piece of electrical tape on the side of the card opposite the contacts, so it can apply more pressure onto it. Tell me if it works. Is it the new shell R4 DS Card or the old one? If you get it working let us know what you did, and good luck.

No that didnt work

....im not sure if i have the new 1 or the old 1.....mine is the 1 with the spring in the microSD slot....would it matter which version i had?

Well possibly if the spring broke somehow or you didnt insert it correctly. But, try doing a search and see what you can find. If that doesnt work then you gotta invest in a new card most likely.

use cotton fron a cotton swab, only a bit, wrap it around a tootpik and clean, where are the contacts?

Dude, do not bump a 13 month old post. That's a no no.

Happened once or twice to me, fixed by formatting SD card, actually one time it just started to work all by itself

Do you guys think its an SD card problem? I was thinking maybe a 4 gig sd card doesnt work on the regular R4? Does it have to be in the SDHC one?
