The following tips will guide you "How to upgrade R4 revolution kernel". Hope this can help!

  2. Download the latest R4 revolution for DS kernel here. (last updated: version 1.14 2007-12-19 10:00:01).
  3. Extract R4English-1.14. rar file.  
  4. Copy DS_MENU.DAT, _DS_MSHL.NDS and moonshl folder to the root directory of your TF card to replace the former files.
  5. Switch ON your Nintendo DS and check your R4 revolution version in the main screen.

    I have just bought the r4 revolution 3 for DS and cannot get it to read on my DS. I have downloaded the newest kernel as the older one wouldn’t work, but this one hasn’t fixed the problem either. My chip works fine in my Moms card it just seems to be my card. Any ideas?

  12. Dawn Says:

    When I turn on my DS with the NDSL card in all I get are two black screens with “Loading…” on the top screen. Don’t get any further than that. Please help.

    Dawn, the kernel for the R4 III upgrade model is entirely different to the usual R4 kernel. You need to go to : http://www.r4dsl.net and look for the kernel files for the R4 III, it will be version 3.07 or similar.

    Will there be v1.19 because my r4 is already in v1.18
