I got a R4DS in Asia and it is in Chinese.
I downloaded the English version from their website but somehow it does not work.

For some reason.. only the files from my original CD works corrently
i only files _DS_MSHL.NDS and _DS_MENU.DAT that come with my CD are the only ones that .

Is there any difference in the Hardware for chinese and english version?
If so.. can i change via Firmware?

In the first edition of R4, you can open it up and change the language by soldering across a point.

Oh.
Anyone happen to know where to solder or desolder?
Maybe it is too complicated.. i just leave it as it is.

There are some instructions at the SCdev forums, though you may need to register first. Note that it only works on the first batches of R4 and M3 Simply, as later ones have the pads removed, so although the conversion is still possible, it's incredibly difficult and potentially dangerous.

the first batch allow m3 to R4 conversion and vice versa, and also language english to chinese and vice versa.

the second batch allow language only

the third batch, no conversion allowed.
