nintendo ds help

just got a nintendo ds and have got a r4ds card that allows you to put a load of games on it that you download, but the r4ds card didn't come with any drivers, i downloaded the drivers from here but when i try to install then i just get an error message on the DS screen,

anyone know how to get the r4 card working?

Did u read the manual? its on that website... you have to put the card into the computer first and install on that first?

have a try with drivers from this site.

extract and drag and drop to your micro sd. Create a folder for the games, then drag and drop them.

Did you format the Microsd card first?

Could also be a dud R4DS card, some (particularly fakes) have been known to be dead.

Be VERY careful - the wrong software on the wrong card can apparently nuke your DS. No experience of it myself, but have heard they can be dodgy...

Apparently there are "official" R4 cards and also copies on the market, and if you get the wrong firmware... trouble.

If that picture is correct then you have got a fake as the R4DS doesn't support SDHC. (As I understand it)

It can only support upto 2GB.

A friend at work had one of these and it messed up his DS.

Do you have an originol game? If that still works you should be OK.
