As you can expect there are several Languages that are supported by your R4 card. When first received they are set up to support the English language.

The manufacturer of R4 cards appreciates that as these cards are used Internationally and so has made them accessible for all, with multi language support!

First of all you need to insert your R4 card into the game slot of your Nintendo Console. This could be the standard DS or DSlite, or even the DSi or DSi XL. When you turn your console on you will need to access the home screen of the R4 ds card. The “Home” screen displays the following 3 icons.

From left to right your R4 icons are as follows :-

GAMES – This is where you can locate all of your game files
MULTIMEDIA – Look here for your video, music and image files!
CONFIG – This is where your settings menu is

When you select the “Config” icon in your R4 home screen you will be taken to a screen that will give you two options, it is important to select the “CONFIG” option and NOT the “UPGRADE” option at this time as this could permanently damage your R4i card.

Once the “CONFIG” option has been selected on this second screen you will see a whole array of options to personalise your R4 card!! We are interested in the LANGUAGE function, on selecting this you will be able to change your R4i card to support the following languages -

– ENGLISH
– CHINESE
– JAPANESE

Then simply hit the “BACK” button and away you go! You can now play your R4 card in your chosen language, easy peasy!
