Recently i downloaded a lof of latest NDS games from internet , i hit the following error when start game.
“Unable to load data. Turn the power off and reinsert the game card”
This is because my NDS R4 kernal is outdated(v1.08), can not support latest game. After updated R4 kernel to latest version(v1.18), everything is fine now. Hi , some game shops may charge you expensive to just help update the R4 kernel, please do not stupid to pay for it. Update R4 kernel manually is just a piece of cake. I had provided following guideline to show How to update R4 kernel, hope help.
1) Take out your R4 card (small card) from NDS.
2) Plug your R4 card into USB pen drive which support micro SD, when you brought NDS, it come together (USB pen drive which you used to copy game). Your R4 file content should like something below
3) Go here http://www.r4ds.cn/download/r4.html to download latest R4kernal
4) R4 Kernal file is something like “English-1.18.rar”, you need winrar to unzip it. please go here to download if you do not have winrar installed http://www.rarsoft.com/download.htm
5) Unzip it, _DS_MENU.DAT and _DS_MSHL.NDS are core files for R4 kernel. R4 latest kernel file should contains something like below
6) Copy all unzip kernel files above to your R4 card and REPLACE IT ALL. (Please remember backup , just in case).
7) Unplug your USB pen drive and reinsert your R4 card, enjoy your game.

Hi everyone.
I bought 2 x R4 Upgrade SDHC cards (Christmas Edition) with 2gb MSD for my kids. The place I bought it from had software (latest) on its site for me to d.load (memorycardzoo).
I did this and loaded it changed format to FAT32 & put games on. All games work fine except they do not save. When I check by putting card into my PC I can see that each game has a .SAV file in the ‘Games’ folder. Why could this be?
I have the 1.18 version and it still doesn’t work! My DS still says “An error has occurred.” etc. Can you help me with this?! I was also wondering if the .sys and .sav files would help…
I’m a different vanessa
help! I did all the things above but the same thing happens it
says: “an error has occurred.Press and hold the power button
to turn the system off. ” the version of my dsi is 1.4u HELP!!
I bot a 2 GB memory card from JB with 10 games loaded.
I cannot play. it show ” Menu? ” on DS screen.
it can play when i transfer the game to another memory card.
how to solve??
Thanks:)
do what i said up top
