Hmm, you seem stuck. I have the R4i SDHC Dual-core (2014). I recommend it, but get a newer model. These cards are outdated, and Finicky.

EDIT:

Here's their Site: http://r4isdhc.com.cn/

If you ever need some help, i can help. I've used these cards alot, and they're fairly easy to setup. Versus, the older models.

These won't arrive to my country in time (more than 3 weeks I think + a really big shipping price). The person I've bought these said his son was playing it recently just fine.

Is there a way to use my card without buying anew?

I'll do a little Research, and i'll try to find the Proper Firmware.

Before i continue, drop me some Specs:

Tell me your SD Card make, size, etc.
Also, tell me the Exact model of the Card you're using, and any other Info.

This is my arsenal;

I thought I added a picture, anyway;
LINK TECH 4GB MICROSD CARD (which seems fine, I've been able to boot up R4i)
DSi 1.4u
R4i Gold 1.4.1 (www.r4i-gold.com)

SD Specs seem fine, just to confirm make sure it's FAT32 (File Cluster doesn't matter).
Grab the official firmware from here. Or you can use the Link @ScarletDreamz provided.

Okay so which one do I have to download? Can you be a saint and explain the process? I was able to perform this thing back in 09 but 7 years later, I'm suffering.
But my card is not there?

I got this infernal error again? Tried v1.50

After I got this error, I tried using kernel with moonmemo, moonshl2, r4imenu and a .dat file and I got through it (only to encounter new errors but nonetheless)

again, use the one i provided, also, when you get the "Menu?" error, it means that the firmware you are using, its not in the format that the card expect, AKA its for a different card.
Not always the case, but formating may help. There could be corrupted sectors, etc.

not exactly, the menu error its due the format, trust me, sector damaged will be displayed as soon as copying the files.

Sadly, thats the last firmware the company made, and maybe they put expiration on their firmwares. :/

By backtraking the original website's 2011 year interface, I found a 1.72 one and got the same error too.
There must be something I could now right? I've lost 4 hours and I just wanted to re-play Castlevania.
