I've had a DS lite for years now and it's my favorite handheld ever, but my game collection is small due to a lot of DS games being stupid pricey, so I was considering doing this. Would also be nice to have a SNES and GBA library all in one hand held 👍
I've spent about an hour trying to get this to work, but nothing's worked so far. I have the same R4 and sd card as in the video. Is it as simple as moving the downloaded files to the sd card, or am I missing something? Anyone who could help, would be much appreciated.
hey ummm,when i try to start my R4, it says ''could not find SD/TF card'', i have putted every file in an 1,30 GB but it does not work, i have the same R4 that appears in this video, im trying to play the R4 on an DSi.
Hello! The “Wood” file, it has an application that is already in the drive. Should I replace the .dat file with the wood? I’m not sure what to do with the wood.
i have an old acekard2i i found laying around i now its out of date i was going to buy new one but i wanted to get acekard2i running until i can buy new one cause my other one stopped working. i wondiring if could install wood kernal or any other custom kernal on it since the kard isnt updated anymore
I have a problem because there is a black screen and the words loading and nothing happens I gave an 8 GB card maybe because of it? I don't know, please help !!.
hi there ihave tha exact old r4 evolution card and i can make it to work ...can u please link on the description the kernell for that exact r4 evolution card thanks so so mucht
Hey man, I did everything you've shown, my DS is just going to the regular menu. Is there any way to fix this error of the DS not recognizing the R4? Thanks!
So, this flash won't accept more than 2GB of storage? I'm trying to ressurect mine (and installing the Twilight menu on it) but without sucess. Please... HELP ME ♥ Ps: It is possible to bypass the 2GB limit of this card?
"Root is the directory where you can't get any lower in the directory path. So in Windows terms, if your SD Card reader is drive F, the root would be "f:\""
J’ai un gros problème, donc si quelqu’un a la solution je suis preneuse : J’ai la r4 advance révolution. ( la même que sur la vidéo ) Tout fonctionnait très bien. J’ai voulu rajouter des jeux que j’avais déjà installés sur un CD. Depuis, un écran loading s’affiche. J’ai tous les dossiers complets, j’ai supprimé les jeux que j’avais rajouté. Quelqu’un a la solution ?? 🙏🙏
The R4 card could simply not access those types of files. Or you have not put it in the root of the SD card. Also watch my other video if you have an R4 card that is for DS/DSL
if you have an original r4 card it will only work with an SDSC (up to 2gb) card because its so old! im just having trouble finding games that run on an actual ds :(
@@homad9531 you tried using a 2gb card and it still doesnt work? Use this firmware www.r4ds.com/download/r4ds-v1.18-kernel.html And unpack it with the free version of Winrar and drag it onto the 2gb card and it should at least get you to the r4 menu, let me know if you find any good links for games :) hope this helped
I deleted many things in order to make more storage space, Now my menu has no text and has only icons of the games I tried and cannot add any more games to the system, Please help :(
i downloaded the r4 software and followed all the steps i should but my dsl wont do anything other than what it would if there is no rom in it... i dont know what to do...
I am so sorry as this is 4 years ago, but for anyone else who has found this video and is having the same issue, modern R4 cards can use potentially up to 32gb cards, while older cards had a max of 2gb size cards.
Hi, inside the drive there is "Wood_R4_v.1.61.7z" file , Do I have to extract the files inside and put them in the root? , create a new file?, or just keep it like that?
Anton Retro wait, but the wood comes with a file that’s already there. Do I replace it, or just leave that data alone and put it the other folder into the SD?
I don't understand why it doesen't work. i have the same R4 shown in the video, yet when i replace all the system files in the sd it doesen't work. It only works with its SHITTY kernel which says in the menu : "v3.07". Each time i tried to update it, changing all the content with the wood kernel, or the one in your video, it just freezes when loading. i thought this time would be the one since all the folders and files were basically the same format as my already intalled kernel.... shit, it sucks. i can0t even play pokemon black/white 1/2 since they don't work with my shitty 3.07 something kernel. thanks for the video tho... can you suggest me a good flashcard?? i have ndsl, dsi and 3ds so something that works with everything would be bnice
I thought R4 were the best? I have a clone R4, just one of those Chinese 208-in-1 carts and it runs on any system from original DS to New 3DS, it had a whole bunch of Pokémon games preloaded and I personally use mine in a 2DS. They're cheap too, don't pay more than $20, you'll find one for less if you look around. I would keep trying with your R4 in the meantime, there's tons of different guides on RUclips
hello! Im a little confused, years ago my R4 card stopped working it was stuck in the loading screen i thought it was the software so today i got a new micro SD card and followed the steps to setting this up. its still stuck in the loading screen i dont know what to do. i haven't downloaded any games yet and i feel like i missed something. is it the card itself that is broken then? thank you for hearing me out.
The _DS_MENU.DAT is included in the download. Also I just fixed the link to the 2nd link. Sorry about that and also I will leave a link in the description to my second video.
@@antonretro I have put that ds menu thingy. My sd card looks like this _DS_MENU Emulators DS Apps _rpg Maybe there is something wrong with my card, but it looks exactly like yours .
Have you ever been able to run games on the Card?! Has it worked before on other firmware. My newest video on the channel is for the 3ds r4 Card, and it has a download for other firmware. It might not work, but it’s an option.
It could be a fake, some also have time bombs which don’t let them work, so put the time on your DS lite back a couple years and see what happens. Also I recommend doing more research about maybe how to fix you card if it is real. Sorry that I couldn’t help you out. thanks for stopping by and clicking on the video though :)
Hi, nice tips & tutorial! Is there a way for me to get the old link for set up the R4 card? I actually have the old one that only support 2GB card... But i lost the microsd card... So i need the files from the old link Thanks in advance Mate cheers

Simple and to the point, my R4 sd finally died after 10 plus years :( so it's good that it's easy to fix with a new one.
the link is not working in 2022
I used the original R4 card but screen is stucked on loading. Is it because i used a 16gb sd card?
which card works with the DSi?
Imagine if you could get like a flash disc, and run this kind of stuff on modern consoles.
You don't need to. Modern consoles have SD and usb slots
it says i dont have access to the downloadable file
Sorry about that. Try again, I just updated it. If it doesn’t work again I will fix it.

Hi I've got the 482 in 1 and it's also got the option for md sfc how do I download emulators without ruining the other games on the card.

Can you tell me if this r4 supports 8gb Micro sd ??
I believe it supports 2gb Non sdhc SD cards only.
I had a nds lite with a r4 card with many games.. my ds lite broke now i have a dsi and the r4 card doesnt work can i doo something
Does the r4 gold work with dsi. I heared the dsi has an anti piracy policy.
mhm did you replaced all the files and folders on google drive there isnt the files and folders from the videos
Some person removed the files and replaced them. I have fixed them now. Sorry about that.
@@antonretro thank you :)
@@antonretro there are some folders missing ?
I will add them later, but you can find them in the 3DS files. It was just the Emulators and Apps.
The link doesnt work please help.
Thank you so much, it worked perfectly!
@@Imsxdes did you still have the file or the link? Please send me
Hey I put the files in but nothing shows up on home screen please help

where i have to put the gba roms?
The SD card
@Anton Retro i installed this and my games but the ds lite stays on loading screen is it because i have used a 4gb sd card?
