Repair system date error on R4 chip

All u have 2 do is take the r4 card out, go to the options and change the date back about a year. that should work. this happened to me today and i fixed it by doin that. i hope it works for u to!

Hey,

I know someone who had the same error as well recently, and he e-mailed NDS-Gear about it (no particular reason except he bought his card from there). I think loads of people were getting this problem in the last few days, and there's a big blog post about it on R4DSRevolution (the info site) here:

Also a less detailed one on the NDS-Gear site:

It looks like, amusingly, the genuine cards are more affected than the fakes! Although still be careful of the "R4 Upgrade" or "R4 Ultra" series of cards, since I'm not sure if the same fix for the problem works for the cloned versions of the R4. Anyway, hope the blog link helps!
