Please Help Me! Nds R4 Card Wont Load?

[pussica]

hi, my first time here. i have been given a r4 card for my nds, well 2 of them, anyhow both cards suddenly stopped working, they both had games on and had been played ok, what happens is on both nds's the screen is black and it just says "loading" ive left it like that for half an hour? very frustrating.

plug it into computer and it says card needs formatting, but that will wipe all info on it?

does anyone have the patience to help me sort it out? im very nds illiterate btw!

thanks

Something like that happened to me once - dodgey game file I just downloaded and put on so I deleted it and was fine again. I suggest copying the save files over to the computer - format the flash card and re-"back up" the games. Other than that try copy the games off the flash card, format it put different games on see if it works if not... beats me!

It sounds like a dodgy game file to me too. Have you tried reinstalling the game

D@MN, hasnt happened to me, what game did it happen on?

What version kernel are you running?(the lil number on the bottom left of the screen, eg:1.10 or 1.17)

ok faromat..so i click no and cancel then up pops a window disc in drive E cannot be formatted, so right click for properties etc and it looks empty? did a mcafee scan on it for bugs and it even says zero scanned etc? is this something i can go to the local playstaion repair shop for or would i get slapped?

hi, i have worked out that this is an OEM card, therefore all the info i really need i dont have. can someone please point me in the right direction to sort this out, the card has now been formatted, new games i thought were loaded on but the screen still comes up black with "loading" in white. cheers.
