I have the same problem. My current software version of the DSi is Ver 1.4.2E. Where do I run this file? If I press the Alex Rider thingy, I get exactly the same error message as before. Is there some way I can force the DSi to boot it?

If you dsi already V1.4.2, then you cann’t upgrade your r4i sdhc card.
because this card cann’t work on V1.4.2, so you will get error message.
Try find a console version under v1.4.2.

is there any hope of getting software to make it work with 1.4.2 (is anyone working on it) or is it now useless and should be thrown away? i thought that the software on the link was to upgrade the card for 1.4.2? I am confused now.
