    Okay so I have a basic Nintendo DS (Mario Edition!! FTW!).

    Anyway, when I got it I got myself an R4 "Upgrade" Revolution for DS. (SDHC?? version?)

    Aaanyway, I had a ton of games on my 4gb card and it was working wonderfully.

    So I go and try to play it the other day and BAM!

    I can turn my DS on, then select the game icon.. loads the lists of games but freezes on me and won't let me do anything except turn it off.

    So I just deleted all of my stuff... And reinstalled all the R4 Software etc. STILL NOT WORKING!!

    Anyone else had this problems? Any ideas how I can fix it?

    UUUGH! Every time I put the micro SD card into my SD adaptor and then plug it into my SD slot on my laptop, BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! System crash... rebooting... blah blah blah. savings files to prevent damage or some shit. PAIN IN THE ASS!!

    Didn't know it was possible to corrupt a flash card XD
    Just buy a new micro SD Card. I hope you have a backup of all your game !

    See thats the problem.. I DIDN'T backup my games. Stupidly... Anyway, I managed to get my card working by updating (after spending ages finding the correct version) my firmware etc.

    More of a concern to me s the fact that it gives me a blue screen and tells me its shutting down to prevent loss or damage of files.... thats a worry.

    At least my DS is working again...

    (I should of tested it on the spare card first... instead of mine :()

    Luckily I don't play it all that much.. I'll start over if I have to. (the game files are all burnt to a DVD... haha, 12gb worth XD)

    Yeah, this happened to me. The R4 like, kills your micro SD card, and you have to buy a new one and put all your stuff back on it.
