The R4 revolution loads data from a small Flash map. I believe, what with it its format became meant, will formatting the map in the R4, in order to guarantee that no data still that the DS could. Thus you format the microSD map, put you them in your PC. Open "My computer" , you look for the microSD map, which right mouse button on it and you select "Format". Use fast and FAT32-Format. These instructions can be ignored, if the microSD map is completely again.Go ahead and load it up with ROMs, Videos, Images and so on.

For further information go to R4 SITE using the following Link :

check what version of firmware you downloaded. there are 5 dif types of r4 card and they all use diff firmwares

at start you should have 4 files moonshel, mooonmemo, r4.dat and r4 men!
copy all 4 of these files to the root of sd card
then simply copy any games to same place
