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This is because my NDS R4 kernal is outdated(v1.08), can not support latest game.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

nds-unable-to-load-game-latest-R4-original

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

nds-unable-to-load-game-latest-R4

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.
