Hacking Launching R4 through action replay

[Attackid]

Hello

This may be confusing but my ds is kinda broken when I put a game card into my ds it doesn't recognize that its in there
One day i discovered that if I launch a game from my action replay it works but I wanna use my R4 on my ds so is there a way to make my action replay think its a game or something

Cheers

You can't launch games with an action replay.

I don't really understand your question.

 

[Attackid]

You put the action replay in your ds says insert game card
You take out action replay insert game card eg. Mario Kart
You press start and it loads the game

You can't launch flashcarts through AR. It's not possible.

 

[Attackid]

alright if you say so but I won't stop at one opinon

The last time I tried this, the action replay did not recognize the card and it did nothing. So I am pretty sure it's not going to work.

 

[Attackid]

so I guess there's no way of tricking my ds into thinking its a real game

 

[grindbart]

what kind of ds? because DSi can block flashcards.......

Just on my ds lite with a normal r4 cause doesn't all games have an id couldn't you just find the id of my r4 and add it to the action replay I rekon it could be done

lolz kk just thought I would give it a shot or I could just replace the slot-1 by thanks everyone

I don't understand. You have a R4 and a DS Lite, by default you will be able to run it directly.

If your DS does not recognize it, try using paper tricks.

 

[Attackid]

paper tricks, could you send me a video or something as it could help from not buying a new ds

To fix it:
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.


Quoted from a forum but I believe they host roms so I can't list name here.
CODEI am not liable for any damage this does to your r4 or ds.

Not sure if it works as I've never needed it, sorry.

I'd say: Re-download firmware for you NDS. It's either that, or come up with replacing firmware. You can try to replace the R4 software with Ysmenu through Ysmenu Generator in Filetrip. It'll boot r4 card diffrent then the normal deal.

Or the contact pins are dirty and mabey they need cleaning, idk.

Dude, that won't work if the DS doesn't recognize the R4 at all. And you're talking about DSi, not DS. But R4 doesnt work on DSi and if you update firmware you're fucked with alot of flashcards!
@OP: Sometimes, blowing on the cart and slot-1 a few times will work
