Hi everyone,
First of all - what a great website. I never knew there could be a place with so much R4 discussion in one spot.
Now - here is my shameful story about how I managed to destroy two brand new R4 cards. Any help would be appreciated.
I bought a R4i SDHC Gold from China which came bundled with a SD card and 32GB worth of games. Plugging it into my DSi and it worked great. Unfortunately all the games were Japanese or Chinese so I tried to replace some with some English games. After moving a few English games I realised I had a hit a limit of 300 games. So I went ahead and deleted some of the Chinese ones.
However, I couldn’t get the games to delete through the DS, and as I was travelling overseas I didn’t have access to a computer. So I did the next best thing and placed the SD card into my android device and deleted a bunch of files with file manager - I assumed these were games or otherwise emulators I didn’t need like SNES, Genesis, Master System etc. I plugged it back into the DS and it worked until it goes to load up the games, then it gets ‘stuck’ right near the end of the loading bar and basically freezes. I have never managed to get this working again and didn’t create a backup.
So I ordered a second card from the same people and asked for the exact same file structure and setup. I was very patient and didn’t touch it until I returned home from overseas. I wanted to plug it into my computer (imac) and make a backup straight away. But it always gets stuck with an error after a handful of files and ejects it abruptly. Then after a couple of attempts the R4 card is wiped.
So now I am stuck with two dead R4 cards. Any ideas?
