Hello I have a Nintendo DS N5 card but every time i turn the ds on it is staying on the loading screen and wont go any further i am also using a 2gb tf card. Some one please help as soon as possible thank you
Found solution to R5:
download latest firmware (1.19 at present) and unzip
format MicroSD to Fat or Fat32
Copy firmware onto MSD in this order ONE BY ONE !!!!!!
This step is very important!!!!
1. DS_MENU.DAT
2. _AXMENU.DAT
3. _DS_MSHL.DNS
4. _SYSTEM_ folder
5. moonshl folder
Then load your .nds files into the root.
I've had absolutely no problems with this card so far and if
installed correctly it works brilliantly!!!
Eh you won't believe this but I had the same problem until I went to a Canadan web site linFox Domain:: Nintendo DS Downloads Page look for verson 27.1 English download unzip and put all onto SD card and hey presto! it seems all other versons have been sabotaged! hey it only took me 4 days and 20 hrs of searching!
Down load 1.27 soft ware fom n5 card site /unzip files then drag to memory card /im using 4gb card and this solved my problem ,the same problem as you ....////////.windygaz
The problem is now finally solved.
It was a firmware problem.
You have to download the new 1.18 version from dsn5.com (but it must be the new 1.18 from 07/05/2008, if you downladed 1.18 before that date, the file is corrupted too).
Try it, it's confirmed by n5 team.
Ok,i finally found out the solution for this problem.i believe the problem is caused by the player not exiting the game correctly the first time it is played.when the *.sav game is created by dsn5 for the corresponding game on the microsd card If you shut down the DS or fail to exit the game correctly(befor saving,that is), it fails to terminate the *.SAV file. I belive it is this that corrupts the micro SD card, requiring it to be reformatted .
I suggest loading one game at a time on to the SD card, play it, successfully create the *.SAV file and then backup the game and *.SAV file to your PC. Repeat this for all games until you have a *.SAV file for each required game. Then reload all of the games with the *.SAV files back on to your micro SD card.
Remember to backup the *.SAV files to your PC after playing on the DS. This way, you'll have a restore point for each game if if happens again on a new game.
this worked for comicbook reader for ds too.
I had the same problem, my card got stuck on loading. Try to format the card and install the old software, v1.16, it worked for me. I had v1.17 first, but it did not work for long.
Hi all, well i had same problem and this worked
go to www.dsn5.com
click english top right
download Update N5 V1.20 here
unzip the file
then add these yo your n5 n this order
1. DS_MENU.DAT
2. _AXMENU.DAT
3. _DS_MSHL.DNS
4. _SYSTEM_ folder
5. moonshl folder
then simply add your unziped games to your n5 and away u go
worked 1st time for me
Go to dis web site and click the download link and extract it and put in your micro sd all of it
I recommend downloading R4 firmware,it might work.
or else you have a dodgy micro sd card
I had major problems, but tried the very first solution an it worked first time. Thank you!
I have the same problem to this. My father and I found that formatting it and copying everything all over again helps. But every once in a while it corrupts. So basically, the only real (and annoying) solution we are currently doing is making a backup in the computer so everytime it corrupts, we just copy everything all over again. It's annoying but it helps. Only disadvantage is that you lose the progress you had after your last backup. TT__TT
Dude like with every ROM user, you need something that can open and work the ROM's. you have to download the ds n5 menu. im not sure of the exact site ( i borrowed my friends i copied off his menu onto my computer) and voila! it works! as long as you have a folder marked "games" and there are ds roms in it, then you can play them ok? i hope this was helpful.
Forget all the muppets on the net saying this and that, just download kernal 1.21 and put on your memory card and try again. It works!!!
Use the r4 1.6 software worked for me
Had very same problem with a new card tried everything then e mailed supplier who said they will send a replacement as occassionally they are faulty ........maybe i should have tried that before i spent a dozen hours on pc pulling my hair out
Hi my name is Ton, if you need help it can mean your chip can be out or its dirty. sometimes you can take out the chip and put it in bye
Open the disk and click the second file copy the whole thing eccept the intro then it will work
i had the same problem but after 26hrs of looking on youtube i found the answer
Hi guys, i had the same problem til i went to a french site which has the proper version. First format the micro sd card fat32 - i chose default setting for the byte size.
then goto this site Which google has kindly translated to english and click the N5 - ver 1.27 link and DL it. Unzip files and copy them to the root directory of the micro card. Plug into your N5 card and pop into the DS. Should now work. Just drag and drop games to your micro card to get them to work properly. Hope this helps
Ok i formatted and its not working......
Had the same problem. swapped the 4gb card for a 2gb card. loaded as per instructions ( all items one by one and in order), now works fine.
I also have a problem what to download
I bought 5 N5 card. one of them will stop at loading. the other 4 works fine. format, using version 1.18 will not work. you need to send it back for exchange. It just a bad card. I had try all and still not work.
I had the same problem and followed these instructions go to www.dsn5.com click on english and download 1.27 new update. once downloaded you will need to un zip and extract with a winrar file i did this added them to my card in this order and it worked first time
ds menu
ax menu
dsmshl
system
moons
then try in ds mine worked first time good luck.
Go to dsn5.com and click download then you can find there a new version of dsn5 firmware.after downloading unzip it and follow the ff. steps:Copy paste this files one by one
1. DS_MENU.DAT
2. _AX MENU.DAT
3. _DS_MSHL.DNS
4. _SYSTEM_ folder
5. moonshl folder
Use the software from www.sidder.nl
no more problems at all
I found out that soft reset corrupts the SD card. Happened to me twice already. So from now on I'm just going to turn it off and on again.
I have the same problem too.If your confused why is it stuck in the loading page,it is because your ds card is overloaded.The better way to solve it is to go back to the shop were you bought it and im sure they can tell whats the problem.dont worry there will be no fine because it is a problem of many files downloaded to your dsn5 card
Hi I had the same problem. I used the mem card that i previously used in my R4DS. when i deleted all system files and put the new files Version 1.17 on there it stil did not work.
Solution for me was a fresh format fat32 and then put the 1.17 files on there.
Format the micro card to fat32, then copy the files that came in the cd. or go to http://www.dsn5.com/index.files/en/index.htm and download it.
How do you unzip and extract with a winrar file?
Likely solution 19 i also believe the problem is caused by the player not exiting the game correctly the first time it is played.when the *.sav game is created by dsn5 for the corresponding game on the microsd card If you shut down the DS or fail to exit the game correctly(befor saving,that is), it fails to terminate the *.SAV file.
My solution is delete the last *.sav game and .nds file played,for me it gave certain

I had the same problem tonight, after it came up on the screen the first time, I just switched it off and back on, then it said the “ds_menu.dat” file is missing. I wonder if it’s possible that I can just download the “ds_menu.dat” some where to put to the ds card to solve this.
"Nintendo ds N5 card stuck on loading screen"
Okay, i've downloaded the new version 1.25 software form the site : http://www.ndslr4.com and copyed everything in
1. DS_MENU.DAT
2. _AX MENU.DAT
3. _DS_MSHL.DNS
4. _SYSTEM_ folder
5. moonshl folder
and made my own GAMES folder but it still didn't work when i tried again on the DS. WHY? please help me.
wont go past loading
n5 2 gig
i can't opening the n5
Same thing....I've tried over and over, but nothing works. I think I'm going to send it back.
.I have this problem too, but in a different way.
My N5 works with the 1.18 version software, but it doesn't with the newer ones!
If I put the new 1.28 software on it, it displays the "Loading" screen.
I format it and everything, but it only works with version 1.18.
i cant reload n5 firmware
where can i get the 1.18 n5 software from and the menu
iv to spend literally hours getting the new n5 to work for my ds and the software instructions read load all the files from 1.27 file then it states dont load all the files it wont work what sense is that thinking of returning it.
