well, the game with the error pic is Rhythm Tengoku Gold here´s a better picturehttp://img120.images...62675163pq6.pngIt will be very nice if anyone could help me, I´m pretty sure it´s not my R4 but the rom, I didn´t downloaded this from dgemu so it could be that. I´m trying to download the dgemu rom but I´m so bad at getting GP´s, or is it really my R4, I have other japanese games not from dgemu and they work fine.ok, someone gave me a translation it says:Save Data could not be read, please try again.So is it just my SAV file for the game, I could probably fix that, but any help would be nice. XD

The game freezes on many occasions during the game. One specifically during the Camoa Cup. I wonder if it's just the version i have or it's the R4 and i need to wait for a new firmware? I have the 2382 version. is the 2384 version working or both screws up?

I don't know if anyone's asked these, so here goes:1: is it possible to update the built-in cheat list?2: Homebrew apps (i.e.:NitroTracker, NetHack) Dont work, they randomly freeze. is this a DLDI patching problem?3: Can anyone get DSOrganize to load apps?Any help would be soooo cool!

Not sure on the second & third, but I can help with the first.With the R4, it comes with a disc. Run the disc and look for the cheat editor. It allows you to edit or add cheats for specific games.Here's the instructions:http://r4ds.cn/downl...ode_editor.html

-ugh- poorly translated instructions. Why is it all the cool stuff requires hours of trying to decipher crappy translations? Look at moonshell; I finally broke down and rewrote my .ini and language files line by line. Ah well, such is the price for a hobby.

Whenever I load up the game on my R4, I get the message from the game saying it can't find the save file. How do I fix this? I got the rom here.

Use the latest firmware or apply the ARM7.bin fix. Note: I've heard that the R4 Team have drop the R4 so new firmwares won't be released.

Did you remember to put moonshell on the card? The multimedia function requires it.http://www.r4ds.cn/d...ell_1.6_r4.html

A similar problem I've had with my M3 Simply, try disabling softreset and see if moonshell boots up properly now.

Not too sure on how to fix the soft reset problem, you can either leave soft reset on and start moonshell through the games section, or try using a new reset plugin for moonshell which you can find here under great homebrew.http://www.linfoxdom...om/nintendo/ds/

I'm sorry if this has been asked and I apologise if you're all tired of this being asked.I have an R4 DS flashcard and I've been recently having trouble playing more and more games, such as Trauma Centre 2 and Harvest Moon Island of Happiness. I've never had much trouble before and I've done all I can think of to fix this problem ( Firmware updates, ARM7.bin fixes) and It still wont work.It's become annoying and I'm sure theres a solution.Thanks to anyone who can provide any more useful information to help!EDIT: I use a 2 Gig generic - non branded Micro SD and used to use a 1 Gig kingston if it helps.

I highly doubt it's your Micro SD that's the problem. I too use a 2GB and 1GB, even a 256MB and lower, I have no problems whatsoever. Is your R4 a legit version? Amusingly enough, my R4 is a clone, actually its the one right after production "officially" stopped, and I have no problems so far. Trauma Center2 works fine, with cheats too, so does Harvest Moon Happiness Island :DI'll say, try deleting that 4,096KB sys file in your mSD card, thats a sort of temp file, maybe that will help. Other than that, I have no idea what else could be the problem.

I'm having the exact same problem as you are (with HM:IoH, Summon Night, FFXII sequel doesn't work). And from what I could remember, some of those games are pretty recent (especially the HM one). So I can't help but wonder if there are going to be more problems like this (DS cannot read save/game file regardless of the firmware update and the arm7 injector) in the future. Does anyone have any solution at all? Otherwise I'll feel like I waste my money on this :D.Please help.
