    Nintendo DS R4DS Help

    I have just got mt R4DS today along with a sandisk 2gb microsd card.
    I have downloaded the latest kernel 1.11 from the R4DS site.
    Formatted the memory card using the fat system, put and on the kernal.
    Atfer this I checked everything was OK the DS booted to the 1.11 screen and I had the 3 icons.
    I then put on some games onto the root directory of the card.
    When I press the games I con I get an error message.
    Then when I try to statr a game I get the message no support adapter type.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I have tried kernal 1.10 that came with the R4DS and 1.11 that I gave downloaded.
    Thanks for any help

    Can't see any reason why it wouldn't work, though my games are in a subdirectory. Try a reformat, install 1.1 again and use a proggy called R4 commander to load the games from your PC to the card. R4 will automatically create your ROM folder and if U want, it will trim your ROMs for you to save space on your card.

    Looks to me as if you are in the moonshell folder and not the games folder. Have you got the chinese card/firmware? I read w hile back that one of the chinese version displayed the moonshell app and the game folder in the wrong place.

    The current English firmware version can be found here

    When you have downloaded this, delete everything on your card. Extract all the file contained in the archive abover onto your card.

    The root of the card should have the following folders/files -

    Spoiler:


    Once the root directory is looking like that, add a folder called games, and one called media.

    Place your roms in the games folder and you should be ok.

    The screenshot in your last post is deffinately from the moonshell app - the media viewer. If you selected the first of the 3 icons to get there, then try the second icon - maybe that will take you to the games.

    Let me know how you get on.

    Ok I have tried everything I can think of!
    I have followed all the instructions that everyone has kindly posted.
    The 4 files that gaintybop posted are on the microsd card, when I goto the games icon (without any roms on the card) I still get the message from the first picture.
    When I do put the roms on the card I still get the message from the first picture, then when I try to load the game I get the message from the second picture.

    Could my microsd card be incompatable?
    If it was would it load up the first boot screen or is it only when you try to play games.
    Does anyone have a list of incompatable microsd cards so if I do buy another one I can get one that works

    Thanks in advance

    something isnt right, unless im mistaken the DS is loading moonshell when you choose games? it should list the games within the R4 OS.

    When i load my moonshell i get the same error as you.

    Moonshell should be the middle option on the R4 menu.
