Your R4 has the text " R4 SDHC Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS) " right? No urls, no "i", no "Upgrade" etc?

I have it too, and I did everything as explained here, but couldn't get it to work (I just got a "Menu?" error). After googling for a while, it appeared as if I needed to take the ttmenu.dat file from RetroGameFan's Multi Cart updates' R4-clone YSmenu folder and copy it to my SD card's root folder, although the first post in this thread only mentioned doing this to the TTMenu folder and YSMenu.nds file.

After having done that, I get the following error when my DS boots:

Yasu software - YSMenu
http://w w w.usay.jp/
build: YASU Mar 21 2009 16:44:45
Error: can't fatInitDefault

This happens even if I format my SD card with proper software/settings, both with kernel 1.34 and kernel 1.32 .

Could you tell me the exact steps that you followed that got your R4 SDHC to work? Did you do anything differently than as is explained in the first post? Thanks.

Also, my R4 does work with old firmware from 2009 (in the root folder it had the folders 'Games', 'Moonshl' and 'SYSTEM', and the files _DS_MENU, _DS_MSHL.DS , TTMENU.dat and TTMENU.sys), but I tried running Ghost Trick (Japanese, patched by BAHAMUT) and it wouldn't load, so I'm guessing my firmware has to be updated.

I'm out of ideas for the moment, any help is very much appreciated.

Nevermind, I 'solved' the problem...

Apparently the R4 SDHC kernels (1.32 and 1.34) aren't made for my card, even though the name is identical. I followed the original post's advice but used the firmware I downloaded in 2009 (from some Chinese site that I can't seem to find anymore) and now the game works like charm.

Thanks, pyro4erebus!
