How To fix the R4 MicroSD adapter by DemonDomen
So you bought an R4 for your DS and the microSD adapter doesn't work. You probably don't want to send it back to hong kong. Here's an easy fix.

I decided to make an instructable about 4 months after I made the project, so I took the picture with the r4, adapter and ds from John Bobosh.

i got my r4i gold rts card for my new 3ds xl from Thegamerdepot, everything worked out just fine. i couldn't be happier with this card, it works flawlessly on my 3ds console.

micro sd card adapter is not expensive, why not buy a new one for your R4i SDHC 3DS

I received my R4i sdhc card last week, and the package also includes a USB card reader like yours, it is working fine so far, thanks for your guide, useful, i will need it in future. I just want to buy r4i sdhc 3ds later, another reader, the reader is very cheap but a must have for our sd card.

Or more....

You wouldn't use the whole roll >.> It could cost less than 10 cents, depending on how mush you use. You can use your neighbour's duct tape and he wouldn't care.
