    You sure its an R4i? Sounds like DSTT to me, I've never had that with my R4i, but I had a micro SD picture with menu? on it. Try a different kernal.

    You have the wrong firmware for your DSTT-based R4 clone.

    Isn't the DSTT an R4 clone?


    Fuck clones, too confusing.

    R4's (and their many clones) get stuck with a black screen and the word 'Loading...' in white letters when the wrong firmware is used. DSTT's get the little red SD card asking for a menu.

    If it's a DSTT-based R4i, odds are the web address is printed right on the label of the card.

    that's strange... there's a website on the label but it says r4i-sdhc.com?

    Why is that strange? My R4i comes from the same site. As far as clones go, it's pretty good.

    For some reason my computer will not go there unless I type the www. in front of the address on the card. The current firmware is 1.13b and was only updated a couple days ago. All you do is unpack the .rar files directly to the root of the card. I also put the games in the root because when I created a "games" folder it couldn't find the .sav files. I have found that the DSTT menu has more compatablility and have found a way to launch that menu either by the second button ("multimedia") or launching the menu as a .nds rom.

    I just bought an R4i and am having that black loading screen problem, can someone tell me how to fix it?

    I've downloaded the firmware from several different places and none of them work.
