Hacking R4 III Upgrade Revolution for DS

[JNDS02]

First off, hi I'm new to the GBAtemp.net forums. Ok, now I have just purchased an R4 card. It's a (from the box) R4 III Upgrade Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS) plus it's SDHC compatable. I purchased it from ishopvideogame.com if that helps.

I am completely new to the R4 cards, I have only used DS Xtreme.

Problem: It has a long loading screen. How do I fix that? What do I do? Help!

You do realize that the only GOOD R4 is the original?
Have you put the firmware files on the cart yet?

 

[JNDS02]

YES until NOW! I realized it when I started having the problem of loading it... Anyway I did go to the site http://www.r4dsl.net and but the firmware doesn't work. I still have the loading screen...

Get the firmware from here: http://www.r4iii.com/

OK I'm gonna list step by step...

This is one of the cards I have as well. The original R4's firmware works on the R4 III Upgrade. It's what I used for about a year before getting the M3i Zero.
