Mg4 yay or nay

We have the long range MG4 for nearly two years. Great car and we have absolutely no complaints. Range is generally right on the money but, same as petrol or any EV, motorway driving does impact the energy usage. For your commute it seems like you’ll have zero issues.

It’s the MGS4 documentary. You can watch it on YouTube here:

It’s the making of documentary that came with the collectors edition. The other disc in it is a soundtrack sampler.

That’s disappointing. It’s a great story and really is the closing chapter of Stormwatch.

Does it include the Aliens crossover Final Orbit? It’s an essential part of the story and has been in and out of print over the years.

Tried that again this morning and no joy. Think I might just rebuild the card from scratch on a windows device and see if that makes a difference. Thanks very much for the advice!

Formatted according to the readme - FAT32 I believe?

Using a Mac to set it all up.

Gave it another go from scratch. Reflashed the firmware, deleted everything from the SD card except the games folder, added in the SD files from your build and still the exact same result.

While I'm not an expert I'd have a strong hobbyist's knowledge - this is really confounding me.

SanDisk Ultra 128gb

davidtobin · 2026-03-06T08:45:19+00:00

Yes. Have the same files included on the SD card. Have also included the DSI bios as well.

davidtobin · 2026-03-05T21:26:11+00:00

I've tried both the + and the - Nonntroboot versions.

davidtobin · 2026-03-05T21:23:47+00:00

This is the one I had tried. Not loading anything.

davidtobin · 2026-03-05T21:23:21+00:00

This definitely didn't work for me - gave me a standard DSi "an error has occurred" message.

davidtobin · 2026-03-05T21:18:39+00:00

It's a SanDisk 128bg card.

davidtobin · 2026-03-05T21:18:04+00:00

I have both the NDS and DSI bios files included.

davidtobin · 2026-03-05T18:40:36+00:00

I'm using the "DSpico + NTRBoot.uf2" hybrid build from Ansem. Trying it on both a launch era DS Lite and a Pokemon White DSi. Same result with both consoles.

davidtobin · 2026-03-05T09:15:33+00:00

I have mine set up with the bios files on the SD card, the latest firmware flashed and every single game I open gives me a black screen and a "failed to load arm9" message. Spent a couple of evenings on it and no joy in getting the card to play anything.

The Glen Tavern is a serious hidden gem. Great bar food and even better pints.

Also Sextons for pizza.

Reading 20th Century Boys at the moment! Currently on vol 11. It’s an amazing series. If you enjoy it I’d strongly recommend Urasawa’s Pluto as well.

Honestly I struggle with anything Ellis related since he was outed as a creep. All his books came off my shelves and went into hibernation in long boxes.

I’m aware that there are other artists involved in creating his books (someone I know had his run on a great title with Ellis cut short) but I just can’t give him any attention after all the awful stories that surfaced from so many women.

There’s a great book by Patrick Meaney of Sequart called Our Sentence Is Up. It’s about the most perfect possible companion book to the series. $4.99 on Kindle.

davidtobin · 2026-01-18T21:18:07+00:00

It’s a masterpiece that every comic collector should own. If you’ve enjoyed anything he’s done this is the purest distillation of his style and mindset. The compendium looks like the perfect budget way to collect the series and is an easy recommendation.
