Help updating my R4

    I have an old R4 for NDS/NDSLite that has the R4 official v1.18 kernel and YSmenu(I looked into the microsd, there's actually really nothing there. Just an empty micro SD card). What's the recommonded kernel for it right now? I'm looking at the wood R4 unofficial...is this what I should be looking at?

    I tried to download the wood R4 firmware from the main site, but the mediafire download won't work. It keeps downloading 0 bytes if I save link as, and if I click the "click here to start download" it says "processing download request" and then it just stops processing and tells me to "click here to start download" again. Can someone help here?

    Thanks a lot Jhon! You've always been helpful around these forums.

    Are all these different menus (ysmenu, ttmenu, wood R4) for switching back and forth depending on what game I want to play because of compatibility and AP?

    actually YSMenu is mostly an interface. WoodR4 is the firmware, you use them at the same time

    Hmm, but when I turned my R4 on, the calendar said AKmenu. Do i always use WoodR4 with it at the same time?


    Oh wait, akmenu calendar-looking-menu is the wood r4 menu. I see haha.

    Your welcome OmegaFlare2

    Yes it is a switch system between WoodR4v1.26 and YSMenuv6.53.2

    It will auto start on WoodR4 v1.26, Boot 1. YSMenu v6.53.1.nds in the NDS Games folder for YSMenu use and Boot 2.WoodR4 v1.26.nds to switch back to WoodR4 Menu

    YSMenu sortreset buttons are A,B,X,Y,R,L

    Hope this helps!

    PS: WoodR4 is AK software made for R4 cards

    Darn it. How do I use the relocator function in B/W with 2 DS systems

    DSi currently with Acekard2i with AKAIO which has pokemon white.

    Dslite currently with R4 you just gave me, has pokemon heart gold.

    It says the software is incompatible, because it's the "cartridge" is r4 and not pokemon heart gold. Any ideas?
