DS Flash Equipment > Help with R4 needed

#165032 - rzep - Sun Dec 07, 2008 1:08 am

I have the old R4 which only fits the 2g SD cards.

Today I purchased one that is meant to hold 4g although I can't get it to work.

Can someone let me know what I need to do? I downloaded the software and it wont load up.

Thanks

SDHC cards use a different protocol that older SD devices do not understand. There are some non-SDHC cards bigger than 2 GB that don't strictly conform to the original SD spec. Does your card say "SDHC" or just "SD"?
