Hello,

I just received my R4 Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS), which includes:
- R4 DS v2 Black
- A Micro SD USB2.0 card reader
- Cartridge protector

So I already had a 4gb Micro SDHC.

I downloaded several kernels such as:
(taken from this site: https://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/ )
- R4SDHC_v1.25_French.zip
- R4SDHC_v1.21_French.zip
(taken from this site where I actually bought my R4: http://www.dscard.fr/15-toptoyr4-ds-v2free-screen-protector.html )
- French-1.18.rar

But despite a quick format to FAT32, my console still displays LOADING.

Could someone help me or explain how to proceed please, so that I can finally play my NDS games?

(PS: I unzip my games and put them in .NDS format)

    Hello, I solved my problem thanks to your answers and topic.
    I finally received my 2GB micro SD card (a regular card, not an SDHC).
    I formatted it to FAT with quick formatting, copied the kernel from the R4 CD (1.18) to the root of the card, then I created a games folder in which I copied all my games inside, and since then everything works really well ^^.
    Thank you very much for your help, I am very grateful to you.

    Ps: the R4 1.18 only works with a 2GB micro SD formatted in FAT (not micro SDHC) 1.18
    the R4 SDHC works with micro SD SDHC 4GB or more... formatted in FAT32

      Hello, is there still someone available in this conversation? I found my Nintendo DS and I wanted to reconfigure it for my daughters but I'm struggling. I have a 64 GB Micro SD and I'm wondering if I absolutely need a maximum of 2 GB?

        Hello, yes it's a 2GB max microSD.

      With SDHC, it is possible to use an SD card larger than 2GB, the limit being 32GB. If you have a card of a larger size, simply create a 32GB partition using the Windows partition manager ("create or format hard disk partitions") and always in FAT32, of course.
