Solved/Closed

Hello,
I just received an R4 for my 6-year-old son's DS, and I can't get it to work. I tried going to R4 for dummies, but I don’t understand anything. Also, I didn’t receive a CD with the R4. I'm not very good with computers.
I’ve been told that this card is great, but right now it’s a nightmare.
If someone could help me, that would be awesome, because my kid is bothering me and doesn’t understand why it’s not working.
Thanks in advance!
Configuration: Windows Vista Firefox 2.0.0.16

    Hello
    Here is a copy/paste that I kept

    Hello,

    Below are the steps for installing the R4:

    1- Insert the microSD into the USB stick
    2- Connect the USB stick
    3- Format the microSD (preferably in FAT)
    4- Download this file (it's the latest version newer than the installation CD): http://www.r4ds.com/soft/20-en.htm (file to download: R4 French v1.14 kernel)
    5- Unzip the contents of the file, select everything, and copy and paste the files (that you just unzipped) onto your microSD
    6- (Additionally) create a games folder on your microSD
    7- Put your games in this folder
    Remove the microSD and insert it into your R4, connect your R4 to your DS and goooooo

    PS: for the English version no problem, by placing the drivers above, the R4 will switch to French.

      Hi, I installed version 3.03 on my SD card
      everything works =D
      I just wanted to know if I could switch to French.
      because English is not really my strong suit :-$

      thank you
