The Original R4 Brand Ds Card

1.1) DS Card (Pic)

A DS Card is an emulator device that can be used to play homebrew games on the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite. It comes in the size of an original DS game cartridge and is inserted into the DS via the Slot-1 of the Nintendo DS console. There are many brands of DS card made by different manufacturers such as the R4, DSTT, EDGE DS and many others.

1.2) DS card components

For a DS card to work, it will need three component: The DS card itself, a micro SD / SDHC card and the DS card firmware.

The firmware is basically the software part of the system. It is a program that allows a DS card to run homebrew application on the Nintendo DS console.

The DS card is basically the hardware part of the system. It contains the Integrated circuit (IC) and various other hardware component that allows the DS card the act as a physical adapter to interact with the Nintendo DS console.

The micro SD is the memory of the system where the firmware and homebrew appication are stored. It is basically the RAM and hard disk space of the system. The micro SD can come in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. Micro SD for 4GB and above are known as micro SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity).

1.3) Getting a DS card to work

The first step to get the DS card to work is to get the DS card firmware. This firmware may sometimes be provided in a disc but most likely nowadays to be available for download from the DS card manufacturers site or from the reseller site (like us -> NDS-Gear). The DS card firmware is usually in a .zip or a .rar file, which need to be unzipped (or unrar) using the WinZIP or WinRAR program.

The next step is to transfer the unzipped DS card firmware and homebrew applications that you would want to play on the Nintendo DS console from the computer into the micro SD. To do this, you will need a USB-micro SD adapter. Insert the micro SD into the USB-micro SD adapter. Insert the USB-micro SD adapter into the USB port on the computer. The computer will now detect an external memory drive which is the micro SD. Drag and drop all the DS card firmware and homebrew application into the root directory of the micro SD. The transfer of the DS card firmware is now completed. Unplugged the micro SD from the computer.

The micro SD can now be inserted into the micro SD slot on the DS card, which is usually located on the top corner of the DS card. The DS card is now a fully functioning system and can be inserted into the Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite console. Turn on the power on the Nintendo console and the DS card is now working and the user can start playing homebrew appicaion that they have transfer onto the Nintendo DS console.

1.4) DSi card

A DSi card is similar to the DS card except it was created to work on the new Nintendo DSi console. DS cards can only work on the Nintedo DS and Nintendo DS Lite console. DSi card can work on all three Nintendo DS consoles (DS / DS Lite / DSi).

2) What is an R4?

2.1) Introduction

R4 is the most popular brand name for the DS card. There a 30+ brand of DS card that calls themselve R4. On NDS-Gear, we sell 2 out of 30+ of these R4 brands, the R4v2 (R4DS) and the R4 SDHC.

2.2) R4v2 (R4DS)

2.2.1) History of R4v2 (R4DS)

The R4v2, also known as R4DS, is the original R4 brand DS card. R4DS stands for ‘Revolution for DS’. The R4DS is one of the first superior DS card on the market as it can automatically boot itself on the Nintendo DS console without the need a PassMe Device (type devices are inserted into the DS slot and trick the DS into allowing unsigned DS code to run from the GBA cartridge slot in full DS mode). This made the R4DS cheaper, superior and very popular compare to other DS card on the market when it was released in early 2007. It was considered to be one of the best DS card when it first came out in 2007. Because of its popularity, many other manufacturers start making clone copies of the R4DS and also naming their product ‘R4′, giving rise to the 30+ brands of R4.

The R4DS change its name to R4v2 (Revolution for DS Version 2) when it release a non-spring loaded version of the R4 card in late 2007. This was to get rid of spring mechanism failure which was quite common in the R4DS. Now only the non-spring version R4v2 is sold on the market.

2.2.2) R4v2 package

The R4v2 package comes with the R4v2 DS card itself, a blue protective case to protect the R4v2 DS card, a USB-micro SD adapter and a disc which contains the R4v2 firmware. R4v2 firmware can also be downloaded from the manufacturer site. All this are contained inside a blackish green paper packaging box. The R4v2 package does not include the micro SD which must be purchase separately.

2.2.3) Advantage of R4v2

The R4v2 still have the fastest loading performance of any DS card on the market eventhough it was one of the earliest DS card released. The R4v2 also have many other functions which was created by the R4v2 development team and are now a standard in other DS card. These functions includes the ability to play mp3 music, watch videos and read e-book on the Nintendo DS console. Currently the R4v2 is also the cheapest DS card on the market. It is also quite a stable card and has a very low failure rate (less than 1%). Other R4 brands have a failure rate of 4-10% and the really bad ones can reach 20%.

2.2.3) Drawback of the R4v2

The R4v2 can only take micro SD with 2GB memory size or below. Newer DS cards can now take micro SD with memory size upto 32GB. The R4v2 also have some game compatibility issues whereas some of the best newer DS cards have 100% game compatibility.

2.3) R4 SDHC

2.3.1) History of R4 SDHC

The R4 SDHC is one of 30+ R4 brands that come after the R4v2. Unliked most of the other 30+ brands which are unreliable, unstable and rubbished, the R4 SDHC has proven to be a very good DS card. Some of the development team members of the original R4v2 is now working for the R4 SDHC developmental team.

2.3.2) R4 SDHC package

Very similar to the R4v2. Comes with the R4 SDHC card itself, a blue protective case, a USB-micro SD adapter. Does not come with a disc containing the R4 SDHC firmware as the R4 SDHC manufacturer made it available to download online. Reason for this is because the firmware is constantly being updated and its easier to provide a download service. All this are contained inside a blackish green paper packaging box with the brand name R4 SDHC written on it. The R4 SDHC package does not include the micro SD which must be purchased separately.

2.3.3) Advantage of R4 SDHC

The advantage of R4 SDHC is that it is able to take micro SDHC with memory of upto 32GB, hence its name. It also have 100% game compatibility and has all the standard functions available in the R4v2 such as the ability to play mp3 music, watch videos and read e-book on the Nintendo DS console. The R4 SDHC is also a very stable card with low failure rate (less than 1%). A good jake of all trade DS card.

2.3.4) Drawbacks of R4 SDHC

R4 cheat database is limited compare to the cheat database of the best DS brands on the market. Does not have some of the functions of newer DS cards.

3) Solutions to common R4 Problems

3.1) Fising the R4 ‘Loading…’ Screen Problem

Probably the most common problem with the R4DS Card, regardless of whether you are using the R4v2 or R4 SDHC, is the “Loading…” error. The majority of people assume that this is because their adapter is broken, and immediately panic or send their card back. However, this is not normally the case if you’ve bought a genuine product. The most common problem is that you have the wrong software for your R4 adapter. Visit our Software Download page for help recognising what kind of card you have, and links to software downloads for the R4v2 and R4 SDHC.

3.1.1) Six Steps to Solve the “Loading” Problem

3.1.1.1) Make sure you have downloaded the right software. For help with this, please visit our Downloads page here.

3.1.1.2) Make sure the software is placed inside the root directory of your Micro-SD card – the ‘base’ or first directory of your Micro-SD card. What your Micro-SD card’s files should look like, can be seen below.

3.1.1.3) Give your Micro-SD card a quick clean (a good blow or two, as the card contacts can be sensitive to dirt).

3.1.1.4) For optimum performance, do not overload your Micro-SD card. The remainder of your Micro-SD card’s memory is needed to keep your card running in tip top shape. As a guide, we recommend filling your Micro-SD card to no more than 60% full. That means that for a 1GB card, we only recommend filling it up to 600MB full of applications and games. For a 2GB card, we recommend only filling it up to 1.2GB full,and so on.

3.1.1.5) Make sure the Micro-SD is card pushed down completely into the DS adapter (ensure good contact between Micro-SD card and R4 adapter). In a very small minority of cases, the Micro-SD has to be pulled up a bit if the ‘click’ between the Micro-SD and the R4 card causes them to misalign. This is more common with the R4 SDHC than with the R4, but is nonetheless a non-issue.

3.1.1.6) Reformat your Micro-SD to (FAT16/32) for optimal performance.

3.1.1.7) Use only the following sizes of Micro-SD/ SDHC: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 and 32GB. The R4 SDHC is untested for Micro-SD cards above 32GB and problems are reported for 6GB micro SD. For the R4v2, only use 2GB Micro-SD cards or below, as higher capacity Micro-SDHC cards do not work.

3.2) Fixing the ‘There is no DS Card Inserted’ Screen Problem

One of the more uncommon error message which appears on the normal DS load page. It usually have the message that goes:

“There is no DS card inserted” on the top line and “There is no game pak inserted” on the bottom line.

In this case, the “There is no game pak inserted” is a pretty standard message as it relates to the slot 2 of the DS which is empty – DS cards/adapters do not use that slot these days. However, the “There is no DS card inserted” message is worrying. There is many reasons for this message, which can range from dirt / dust on the micro-SD card, corrupt micro-SD data, a faulty R4v2 card / micro-SD connector, or the more serious and worrying misalignment of the DS slot 1 connectors.

The dirt/dust problem on the micro-SD card can be easily solved by giving the micro-SD a good blow or two. A corrupt micro-SD card’s data can be easily fixed by reformatting it to FAT16 or FAT32. A faulty R4v2 card and micro-SD should be exchanged with the retailer – only e-mail them after the first two options don’t appear to have worked, though, because about 99% of the time one of those will fix it. For more information, see NDS-Gear’s FAQ page which gives some details on how to fix similar problems.

Very rarely, a DS adapter can work on one DS but fail to work on another and the failed adapter will display this message. In this rare circumstance, a tiny imperfection in the DS and the DS card may sometimes be great enough that they just about misalign and are unable to communicate with each other. Basically, the metal contacts don’t touch each other well enough. This is incredibly rare but potentially worrying as it could signify a problem with the DS console – in which case a different card which has a slightly larger design (the EDGE DS in particular has a rather snug fit, and would be ideal for people with this problem) would be desirable. This only happens in less than 1% of cases, though, and it tends to be with old DS’s or well-used DS Lites.

However, if the DS fails with every DS card, then there is a definite problem with the SLOT 1 connector of the DS. If the DS is still under warranty, it should be exchange immediately for a new one. If your DS is out of warranty, it is also possible to realign the connector pins in the SLOT 1 of the DS yourself (WARNING: Doing this yourself will void the warranty). You would need to very carefully peer into the slot where cartridges normally go, and use some thin, fine tools to re-align any bent pins in the SLOT 1 connector.

3.3) Unable to load newer games of the R4v2

“The save data cannot be accessed. Please turn the power off and reinsert the DS card”

This is an error message on the R4 card which usually occurs when the R4 firmware is outdated. The most common cause for this message is when newer DS games which uses the ARM7 binary executable system file is loaded using out of date R4 firmware. This is a particularly acute problem for the R4v2 which no longer release updates for their firmware.

If you are running any other DS cards other than the R4v2, get (or wait) for the latest release firmware to come out and update the firmware of the DS card. This should hopefully fix the problem as the development team periodically include fixes for game compatibility issues.

If you are running an R4v2, you can get the unofficial R4v2 software like the Yasu software which fixes many but not all of the problems.

Another solution for this problem is to replaced the ARM7 executable file with an older version executable file that is recognised by the R4v2 firmware. To do this, you will need the problem game ROM, another ROM with the older executable files (Works on the DS) and the software to patch the executable files from the older ROM onto the newer not working one.

R4 DS-Forums appears to have a workaround if you are experiencing problems. However, NDS-Gear cannot and will not offer support for any unofficial firmware / software used with your DS card.

Error Message $116.3 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An error message is information displayed when an unexpected condition occurs, usually on a computer or other device. On modern operating systems with graphical user interfaces, error messages are often displayed using dialog boxes. Error messages are used when user intervention is required, to indicate that a desired operation has failed, or to relay important warnings (such as warning a computer user that they are almost out of hard disk space). Error messages are seen widely throughout computing, and are part of every operating system or computer hardware device. Proper design of error messages is an important topic in usability and other fields of humancomputer interaction.

Runtime Error 200 $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Runtime error 200 is the standard error message by Borlands Pascal compilers, standing for Division by zero. Many older computer programs for the MSDOS operating system fail immediately on loading with this error message. In many case they were compiled with an older version of the Borland or Turbo Pascal compiler, which often generated programs which failed if executed on computers with processors faster than about 200 MHz.Borland and Turbo Pascals standard libraries included a procedure called delay(n), code created for halting the execution of the program for a given number of milliseconds. Due to the initializing of the CRT unit, this procedure is called even if the software itself doesnt do it explicitly. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Soft Error $87.62 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In electronics and computing, an error is a signal or datum which is wrong. Errors may be caused by a defect, usually understood either to be a mistake in design or construction, or a broken component. A soft error is also a signal or datum which is wrong, but is not assumed to imply such a mistake or breakage. After observing a soft error, there is no implication that the system is any less reliable than before. If detected, a soft error may be corrected by rewriting correct data in place of erroneous data. Highly reliable systems use error correction to correct soft errors on the fly. However, in many systems, it may be impossible to determine the correct data, or even to discover that an error is present at all. In addition, before the correction can occur, the system may have crashed, in which case the recovery procedure must include a reboot.

Forward Error Correction $70.1 In telecommunication and information theory, forward error correction (FEe is a system of error control for data transmission, whereby the sender adds redundant data to its messages, also known as an errorcorrection code. This allows the receiver to detect and correct errors (within some bound) without the need to ask the sender for additional data. The advantages of forward error correction are that a backchannel is not required and retransmission of data can often be avoided (at the cost of higher bandwidth requirements, on average). FEC is therefore applied in situations where retransmissions are relatively costly or impossible. In particular, FEC information is usually added to most mass storage devices to protect against damage to the stored data. FEC devices are often located close to the receiver of an analog signal, in the first stage of digital processing after a signal has been received. That is, FEC circuits are often an integral part of the analogtodigital conversion process, also involving digital modulation and demodulation, or line coding and decoding.

Quantization Error $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In source coding (analogtodigital conversion and compression), the quantization error is the difference between the actual analog value and quantized digital value due is called quantization error. This error is due either to rounding or truncation. The error is sometimes considered as an additional random signal called quantization noise. Quantization noise is a model of quantization error introduced by quantization in the analogtodigital conversion (ADe in telecommunication systems and signal processing. It is a rounding error between the analog input voltage to the ADC and the output digitized value. The noise is nonlinear and signaldependent. It can be modelled in several different ways.

C2 Error $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A C2 error is a read error of a compact disc. C2 errors can be to a degree recovered by the hardware error detection and correction scheme. A CD drive can have extraction errors when the data on the disc is not readable due to scratches or smudges. The drive can compensate by supplying a best guess of what the missing data was, then supplying the missing data. C2 error correction is an analysis over many interleaved frames, an improvement over C1 error correction, which analyzed just one frame, resulting in more accurate data correction. C2 error correction codes are also used by the Digital Audio Tape (DAT) format. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

RoundOff Error $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A roundoff error, also called rounding error, is the difference between the calculated approximation of a number and its exact mathematical value. Numerical analysis specifically tries to estimate this error when using approximation equations and/or algorithms, especially when using finite digits to represent real numbers (which in theory have infinite digits). This is a form of quantization error. When a sequence of calculations subject to rounding error are made, errors may accumulate in certain cases known as illconditioned, sometimes to such an extent as to dominate the calculation and make the result meaningless. Increasing the number of digits allowed in a representation reduces the magnitude of possible roundoff errors, but any representation limited to finitely many digits will still cause some degree of roundoff error for uncountably many real numbers. This kind of error is unavoidable for conventional representations of numbers, but can be reduced by the use of guard digits. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

ANotB Error $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles AnotB error (also known as stage 4 error or perseverative error ) is a phenomenon uncovered by the work of Jean Piaget in his theory of cognitive development of children. The AnotB error is a particular error made by young children during substage 4 of their sensorimotor stage. A typical task goes like this: An experimenter hides an attractive toy under box A within the babys reach. The baby searches for the toy, looks under box A, and finds the toy. This activity is usually repeated several times (always with the researcher hiding the toy under box A ). Then, in the critical trial, the experimenter moves the toy under box B, also within easy reach of the baby. Babies of 10months or younger typically make the perseverance error, meaning they look under box A even though they saw the researcher move the toy under box B, and box B is just as easy to reach. This demonstrates a lack of, or incomplete, schema of object permanence. Children of 12months or older typically do not make this error.
