EDIT: i bought a new sd card today and it works perfectly now. turns out the sd card i had was a fake and cheap one so that was the problem.

(i'm sorry if i wrote something wrong, english is not my native language)
i found my old Nintendo DSi from 2012 and i got excited about starting to play it again, so i bought a 16gb micro sd card to use on it
the R4 i have inside is this one: (screenshot 1)
as long i've been searching i think that is a clone. it currently works perfectly with the old 4gb micro sd that it has, but i want to use my new micro sd on it.
i already formatted the new sd card but i don't really know what to do now, to make it work, since i had no idea about this whole process about the files and just found out about it yesterday
this is how it looks like on the DSi menu: (screenshot 2)
i think there are files missing on the sd card because this is what it looks like on the games list: (screenshot 3)
the names don't appear: (screenshot 4)
but the games work perfectly, and i played for hours, never had any problems with it
when i open the old 4gb micro sd on my pc, besides the roms, it only has a file named _DS_MENU.dat and the date is 09/08/2013 (august 9th 2013) and it seems like there are files missing because like i showed, the games don't have any names on the DSi list, but they work perfectly besides that
i tried of course to copy that _DS_MENU.dat from the 4gb micro sd card and put on the new micro sd card, but when i open the games list it looks like this: (screenshot 5) with the icons from some games not even showing up and when i try to open any game all i get is a white screen
i tried many many different files from the internet but all of them when i tried to open the "Spongebob's Atlantis Squarepantis THQ" to get on the games list, they all get stuck at loading. but the last one i tried minutes ago, is one named "r4isdhc1.62" and this time something actually appeared: (screenshot 6)
but when i try to enter any game, after "loading" appears, it gets stuck at this white screen: (screenshot 7)
does anyone know the correct files i need to put on my new micro sd card to get it to work on this R4? or if i need to do anything else?
