    Hi im new here so be nice lol. Anyway I have a R4III Upgrade Revolution, and I was wondering if there was a patch/download for this yet. I havent played my ds in a while but aparently there are no new firmware updates for the r4iii upgrade rev on there website. However I heard that you can use Wood firmware (IDK what it is exactly, havent done this in about 6 months lol.)

    If I use the WOOD firmware on my R4II UpRev, would this work? Or is it only for the org R4 cartrages?

    Thanks...

    Of cause not. Upgrade it to Wood R4 v.1.18 from Coolkill3r's topic. Or use YSMENU with Latest DAT v.6.40 from iluvfupaburgers's topic.

    Both can be found on the FLASHCART FORUM, not here as this is the TECHNICAL FORUM.

    Some play the game for the story, so they use cheats to play through it faster, including myself.

    Mine is also R4 Original v.1.18. I've both Wood R4 v.1.18 and Unofficial v.117a12 TTDS v.6.40 from Retro in my cart.

    There are 3 version of wood;
    1. WOOD R4 for R4 Original
    2. WOOD R4 for R4i
    3. WAIO

    Golden Sun (U) is kind of funny, cause some member are able to run it on WOOD R4 while others like myself had to run it on YSMENU.

    If you need help on how to install and fix :

    YSMENU, ask iluvfupaburgers and Jhon 591

    Or

    Ask Coolkill3r and Yoshi for Wood R4.

    Have you tried this: http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=39701.0

    [quote author=Retrogamefan]
    Just to let DSTT/i users know, if you only copy the 3 usual .dat files (extinfo, infolib & savlib), some of you may encounter problems with games because the TTMenu firmware and patch (TTMenu.dat & ttpatch.dat) have also been updated. Which is why I state in my update to copy TTMenu folder and TTMenu.dat to your microSD.

    Users who are using YSMenu as their primary firmware & also R4/i SDHC, please rename the TTMenu.dat in the update to TTMenu.nds prior to copying it over to your microSD.

    I am also aware that there is a problem with Tron (E). I have looked at the game again, so no need to report. It will be working in the next update, v6.41.

    So, iluvfupaburgers, could you please ammend the front page according to this post please.

    Thankyou very much,

    guess ill have to buy this game...it works somewhat nicely on DeSmuME but a bit slow (specially the emoticon spam cut scenes and battles UGH) but also it seems like its missing some sounds like when you use psynergy or when you kill an enemy <☺>_<☺>

    I'm using R4i SDHC 1.28.

    Keep getting black screen.

    I've now formated the SD card card and these are the only files on it:

    Is this all correct?

    ppl, i might have found how to work on akAIO 1.8.1 for those who always give black screen no matter what. maybe it will not work for some, but hey, if i help any1, as i helped myself, thats ok by me. i will post what i did!

    1) formated with Panasonic SD Formater (Full Format ON; Format Ajustment ON);
    2) copied the akAIO 1.8.1 and the Wi-fi plugin bugfix to mSD with GS:DD in another past;
    3) booted ds and had everything updated (Loaders, Cheats, Wi-Fi and savelist.bin) *******Remember to use Which Cheat DB? -> AKAIO (yusuo)*******
    4) go to GS:DD Properties -> Rom Setting -> and leave it in this order:
    -2M
    -Default
    -Default
    -Disabled
    -Disabled
    -Enabled

    5) Press A to confirm and test it!

    OBS.: I use a DSLite. my mSD is a kingstone 8GB and, if the speed of the card is the number inside a circle on top right, then, its speed 4 (I realy dont know how to see the card speed).

    I hope this helps a lot of ppl, if not everyone!

    In my case didnt worked(I tryed the Wood and TTMenu).. i had to bought a new card.. but, other people with the same card as you(and my) gets working with the TTMenu!!

    Here is the deal:

    download this: http://filetrip.net/d22932-TTDS-EXT-INFO-SAV-v6-40.html (you must have it but it is just to make sure). then extract it and copy the files to the root of the card, except the txt files. then rename TTMenu.dat, to TTMenu.nds. also make sure you are using the original card's firmware

    Try and post results..
    Again.. Thanks to iluvfupaburgers!

    yeah.. at first, i formatted my card with the Formatter SD, then downloaded from here: http://www.r4wood.com/pages/Wood-R4-Kernel.html
    the: "R4 DS Kernel V1.18 (English, 28-4-2008)" extracted to the SD.. Then downloaded "# Wood R4 Kernel 1.18 (11-29-2010)" extracted to the SD replacing the files.. AND IT WORKS! I placed all my games including golden sun and is working..(I actvated the AR in Wood configs)

    There it is:

    M3 Real (using YSMenu v6.40 from below)

    yeah, maybe
    but will it work for sure if i use this frimware intend of m3real 4.8f.
    will all my other stuff games and such work on ysmenu? and to update will it work?

    i don't know, all this just for golden sun ds,

    i wouldn't risk this changing all the frimware around just to play one game,

    i'd wait for m3 team to release their update 4.8g or 4.9.

    that would be way better than doing this.
