Hacking R4 SDHC problems

[ag07]

hello. I recently purchased a R4 SDHC card, just realized they are actually fakes...however, I've heard that it is still possible to get them working.

I am using a Sandisk 4 GB MicroSDHC card, and a new DS Lite. I installed the latest firmware (v 1.25) on the card.

However, when I insert the card into slot 1 of the DS it won't recognize it, simply saying "there is no gamepak inserted"

Can this problem be resolved? plz help...thank you

dont you know there is no sdhc version of the r4
there must be some dust in your slot
try cleaning it with a earbud
if it still doesnt work your fault its a fake

If its not seeing thecard at all, try the paper shim trick - put a piece of folded paper or thin card behind the R4 to push it onto the contacts of the DS

Thank you Kitty. Your advice helped...especially after I put a folded piece of paper in first. Previously I inserted the R$ card first...I don't really know why this did the trick, but if it helps anyone, try it.

thanks again

It works because the paper--although thin--manages to push the card forward making the contacts meet which is required for any cartridge to work.

You fool they're ALL fake now. Real R4s died about a year ago. We all know they're fakes
