Alrightr well my R4 has been being a bitch..

i went to this site www.R4ds.com that someone showed me here and i downloaded the kernal (newest one)

I extracted them directly to my R4 , took the chip out and turned the Ds on .. It stayed at the loading screen x.x didnt change ... i tried whiping out ms R4 keeping only the System files .. tried it again and didnt work..

so if you can give me a tut i will gladly give you fg soon =]

ok.
it's simple.
go to the r4 site.
now download the things like you did.
dont extract straight to your r4.. although it shouldbe worked.
try this time extraciting... to like your deskto.. and then dragging in to your r4 file...
if you need more help.
pm me.

You downloaded this file and extracted it? : http://r4ds.cn/download/r4_v1.18_kernel.html

That should have worked..
