R4DS firmware 1.18

This is the software OS for the R4DS. The R4(R4DS) Cartridge is the current top-of-the-line in DS SLOT-1 flash carts. It is just an amazing little device like original DS cart size, it is a complete solution with no need to purchase any additional components or deal with any messy software and truly the easiest media enhancer you have ever done; To simply put it, this is a must have peripheral for any regular DS/DS lite owner.

Hi Procrasturbate. sorry for being a dork, but I dont get it: do i just put all the files on the on the memory card like anywhere? I´ve tried to get this thing to work with my R4DS- card but it seems im doing something wrong since it´s not working. All I´m getting on my DS screen is: "loading..." I should tell You that I bought a R4DS -card and didn´t get any software so I thought i´d get it from The Bay, but I can´t get this to work since I dont know what to do with the downloaded files...
Do You suppose You could like describe for me step by step how to get this thing to work?
Thanx Dude!

I have tried everything from using v1.7 to v1.8 and a korean v1.7 - tried it in another NDS but its sticks at the loading mesagage. Bought R4 card off memory bits with 2gb Integral Micro SD. Any further suggestions or do i have a duff Microcard.
Have formated card and used games as directory for roms.

No my friend, this is real v1.18 is the REAL R4DS firmware, R4SDHC is the counterfeit.
It is known to blow thhe fuses F1 and/or F2 by means of drawing too much power through them and ovrloading your system, for SDHC support, the 'REAL' verified working (and deemed SAFE) R4 card is manufactured by R4Ultra @ http://r4ultra.com (This should be displayed on the box of real sdhc cards.
For the ORIGIANAL R4 it should say http://r4ds.com
The R4 SDHC Card firmware is currently at v1.53
The Origianal R4 Card firmware is and is likly to remain at v1.18
For information and help, check out the forums at http://r4ds.com also good for legitimacy confirmations..
Please do not try to argue, we here know these cards and Nintendo systems inside and out. Thanks.

Also guys, do not forget that if your R4 card (NON SDHC) does NOT function with this firmware, it is more than likly a counterfeit.
