Help Setting Up R4 SDHC Dual Core Smart Update Setup Help

[freedumbdclxvi]

I ordered and just received a R4 SDHC Dual Core Smart Update card from nds-card, and i can’t get the proper kernel to work. I’ve downloaded the correct file per the site (R4i-V3.9b English), see the only four files at the root I’m supposed to see, and I keep getting a “can’t open_dsmenu.dat”. Am I missing a step?  

Also, the main reason I’m doing this is to have access to my GBA saves to insert the Mystery Gifts into Pokémon GBA games. I’ve seen that those tools are supposed to be on the root of the R4 micro SD, but the instructions for setting up the R4 say only those files go there. Should I finally get this R4 card working, where will I place the GBA Save Tool files?

Any help would be most appreciated!
