R4 Card issues
« on: December 11, 2011, 02:36:27 pm »
Just downloaded Harry Potter LEGO years 5-7 for my boys DSi XL, its loaded in fine, but just before the game starts I get a message flashing on the lower screen saying:

Preparing save data - do not turn off your DS or remove DS card

Any ideas?

Don't think they work on dsi just the normal ds and lite

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

My brother in law sells R4s at his game shop will ask if he suggests anything.

Youre best off getting an r4i gold card, works on all ds's. There are two types, get the .cn one as it uses wood firmware, which always gets updated.
That's why the game doesn't work. The original r4 cards can use the wood firmware, do a google search for wood 1.41 kernel. If you have the r4 clone card this firmware won't work mind( originals use a 2gb card max, clones can take whatever you put in them).
I just bought one from this site, http://www.r4i-gold.co.uk/r4i-gold-3ds-card-r4idscn-nintendo-3ds-3005e-dsi-xl-143-compatible-supporting-wood-firmware_p1584.html
 delivery only took a few days. You're best off buying memory from eBay, stick to sandisk or Kingston As they last longer.
