R4 card menu error

Have you gone to the site that is written on the card? Have you tried a different micro sd card to put firmware on?

You have to download kernel to your micro sd card.

R4i SDHC,acekard 2i,M3i Zero,R4i Gold,R4 DS
R4i SDHC,acekard 2i,M3i Zero,R4i Gold,R4 DS

have you tried re formatting the r4 card ?? or even just unloading & reloading the games & files??
This worked for me previously

i noticed that if you change time of ds..i.e.....put it back a year and that should sort your problem

it is just an eol (End Of Live) in the software of your ds card.
Plug out your ds and remove your r4 card.
Plug on your ds and change the date to 2009.
Plug out your ds and insert your r4 cart.
Plug on your ds and you can play again.
Now there wil be new software on the internet who is an update on the old software, so if you want to renew your software ist there on the net.

There are several different versions of software for the R4 cards. If your R4 card has 'R4i Upgrade' and 'V1.4' in a yellow star on the front or just 'R4 Upgrade' then download this software - http://de.r4i-sdhc.com/R4i%20English%20V1.14b.rar
If your R4 has 'R4i Upgrade' without the 'V1.4' yellow star then download this software - http://de.r4i-sdhc.com/R4i%20English%20V1.09b.rar
If you do not already have 'WinRar' installed then download and install it here - http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar391.exe
When you click the correct link above choose 'save' and save the file on your computer. When it has downloaded insert your R4's SD micro card into the USB adapter put it into your PC. Go to 'My Computer' and look for the SD card drive, probably called 'Removable Disk'. right click the drive and select 'Format'. Check the box to allow a quick format and wait for it to complete. After open the drive by double clicking it to display an empty window and then minimize it to the taskbar with the '-' command in the top right of the window. Next go to the location where you downloaded the software above, usually 'My Documents' or the 'Desktop' by default. Right click the file and select 'Extract Files...'. Click the SD drive you just formatted, i.e 'Removable Disk (E:)' to highlight it in blue and then click, 'OK'.
You may now copy your .nds game files to the SD card or insert it into your R4 cartridge and your DS.

Try Lookin for a specif kernel for you DS

If you updated you DSI firmware to 1.4, nintendo have stopped the use of flash cards in the uodate, i got my r4 through the post 4 days ago and i had already updated to 1.4 and get the same message. So far i haven found any help with rolling back to 1.3 or getting an update for the r4i software to work. Lets hope it happens soon!

In short you DSi is Not broken, its just been updated to 1.4.

which r4 card is it? r4,r4sdhc,r4sdhc upgrade or the r4i.

the normal ds does work with the original ds, i have 3. lol. the r4 cart goes in the top of the ds in slot 1, it obviously about the same size as the r4 cart, have ur ds so it facinf downwards to the ground, and insert the game facing upwards so you can see the r4 wording on it, slot all way in until it clicks in, then power up.
