Can someone explain to me how to use Themes on the R4?I downloaded some theme from ndsthemes.com and I replaced the files I got from within the THEME01 folder.Now, none of my theme will work, I can't figure it out.

About how many games could you store on a 1 gig micro SD card, with all of the R4 information on it?

I have 35 games and 500mb left on my 2gbI've trimmed all of my roms, which helps.

(put English v1.11 in root and put everything else in that) and it still didnt workfinal Dilema, should i go buy a dsl, and what can i do to fix my brothers........

After you unzip English v1.11, take the contents of that and place it in the root, not the folder itself.For example, my root is:Homebrew - Where I keep my homebrew :weep:MOONSHL - Folder from English 1.11Roms - My roms_SYSTEM_ Folder from English 1.11_DS_MENU.DAT - File from English 1.11_DS_MENU.SYS - File from English 1.11_DS_MSHL.NDS - File from English 1.11

I think those are usually caused by loose contacts. Inserting a small piece of cardboard behind the R4 will fix that problem...it's what I did and I haven't had those problems since.

They are basically all the same. The loose contact problem is caused by the screw being too tight. Loosening the screw slightly should also fix your problem.

What firmware are you using? Zelda works on the newest firmware so your best bet on fixing your problems lye in updating your firmware.

I downloaded a newer kernel and now everythings working perfectly although i have a question.Is there a better snes emu for ds? That one has so much problems its impossible to play.And is there a Genesis DS emu with sound!? Wouldnt think it would be that hard to add sound.

Which snes emulator are you talking about, so far the best snes emu I've been using is SnemulDS, although there's no 100% compatibility yet.Also if you want a Genesis emu with sound you'll just have to wait until a version that supports sound is released.

You can do it by getting a slot 2 falshcart. Due to the setup of the DS's internal systems, its impossible to use the gba processor for any game thats been placed in slot 1, flashcarts included.

When buying a new R4 does it come with a microSD card or do you need to buy one?

Are you using the latest version, also since compatibility isn't perfect there are some games that can't be play.I've been playing Super Punch Out and its near perfect except for some graphical glitches.

They claim to support up to 4GB microSD, and this is technically correct... but the problem is that 4GB microSD cards don't exist.What you bought is a microSDHC (HC = "High Capacity") card, which is a different standard that's incompatible with the older SD standard. Card readers and devices have to be specifically built to support SDHC, and the R4 is not. AFAIK, the only flash carts that are compatible are the M3 Real, Supercard One SDHC Edition, and CycloDS Evolution.

Use the save converter and then rename the save file so it looks exactly like your nds rom but has a .sav instead of a .nds file extension. Your save now should be loaded when you start you rom on your R4 if your save is in the same direct as the rom.

I haven't played many snes roms but terranigma is somewhat playble, but it runs a bit slower.

For using GameFAQs' saves on the R4 read this topic. http://www.dgemu.com...howtopic=301974The information it holds is very useful.
