Hi, 

I bought that card with a microsd adapter extra to read the microsd card, downloaded and copied the kernel version 1.32 http://www.r4ids.com/.

All the files have been successfully copied to the root directory of the microsd card.  I have an IMAC with a card reader btw. 

Unfortunately, the DS greets me with a "loading" then it gets blank. 

I already had the card replaced, still no go. Tried older firmware: FAILURE.

What is wrong?

I read other posts but I am unsure if it is related to the same symptom.

Thanks in advance for helping.

are you trying to use it on a ds lite or a dsi?  what brand name is the micro sd card have you tried using the formatting tool made for thes sd cards? have you tried doing it from a pc instead of a mac

FYI,


I booted up in Windows 7 mode and formatted the microsd card with the software you've mentionned.
Still no go though.  


I use Kingston 8Gb microSDHC card. 


Thanks for helping.

i have had to reformat my card many many times and before i found this site i started doing trile and error with the kernels. with the older ds try using a old kernel like a ver 1.2 and see if that works then work your way up to the latest one. you might find the the older ones work on the old ds my card wont see past 6 roms i can delete them and put 6 different ones on but after that i wont load any of them. so there are problems with it. i first bought a gold from the same supplier r4idws and it broke like 5 min after playing with it the ds said i had no card inserted then i bought another one  and its been running  so so. don't give up just keep plugging kernels into it and hope for the best and don't hesitant to ask questions

Where can I download all the old kernels?  I cannot find any link to get kernel older than 1.31 which still failed to work. 

I found multiple URLs to download old kernel which greets me with "file not found".

Thank you.
