Hacking What works for 8gb sd using R4 sdhc ?

[happygirl83]

I have tried searching for solution in forum but no one seem to have a solid answer for my problem.

I have a R4 SDHC and with 1.26 firmware using 4GB everything works perfectly (about 60 games total), but when I bought a 8gb and use the same firmware except more games about 110 games and nothing work.

I have tried put games in different folders, game1 game2, game3 ... but still not working since only the main folder of game is working and still showing 44 games instead of 60 games in there.... What am I doing wrong?

Please suggest me what to do?

Thanks

I suggest copying everything from the 8GB card to a termporary directory. Then use the panasonic formatter to format the 8GB card. Then copy the files back to the 8GB card and make another post if the 8GB card isn't working.

I am not sure what you mean, it formatted FAT 32 using standard PC and what wrong with that? Why must it be Panasonic formatter?

Thanks

I would go back to using the 4GB as you said everything worked fine on that, and 60 games on it too

so 8gb is waisted? I have seen other used 8 GB ....

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Windows doesn't always format sd cards properly. This is a well known problem with windows. The panasonic formatter will format the card properly.

According to this post stickied at the top of the forum ysmenu doesn't work on the r4 sdhc.

Firstly, I think with the plethora of R4 clones, there is a lot of confusion of which cart is which (I think there's more than one with R4 SDHC in its title). That said, I'll try and offer some assistance on the brief encounter I had with one recently (had the successful task of "fixing" it to work again for someone on the weekend), so I've got a little experience.

"...use the same firmware..." - Did you download FW 1.26 again (probably not given latest FW is 1.32) or extract it from your PC? Or *shriek!* did you cut & paste the files from your 4GB msd onto your 8GB msd?

"...folders game1, game2..." "...main folder of game.." - if you are using the same cart I handled, name of folders makes no diiference at all - I deleted "NDS" and made seperate folders named "Sports" "Racing" "Action & Adventure" "Lifestyle & Cooking", put them on the root of msd and they all played fine. Although, I'm not sure about game compatability - except I did try the DSi game "Assassin's Creed II Discovery and it worked.

I formatted his msd with Panasonic SD Formatter, downloaded FW 1.32 (there's a fairly recent topic in this section linking it) and put about 180 games back onto his 8GB sandisk msd. Downloaded 12 R4 themes from NDS Themes to replace the crappy R4 degault ones and he's now a very happy fella!

I have not tried ysmenu yet but by using the Panasonic formatter worked for 125 games so far with 1.32. Thanks mucho ...
