[NDS] Pokemon Black/White 2 (USA/EUR) AP Thread and Discussion

@Berex_33, Gogogadget, and PlasmaShooter,

I'd suggest all 3 of you provide these info;
1. full name of your flash cartridge (copy everything stated on the sticker of that cart)
2. the current firmware in use (find out, run the cart on the console/browse through the files in the SD Micro for info)
3. brand and size of the SD Micro
4. console in use, and what it's firmware in use
5. website of the flash cart you have (the official website, not online shop's)
6. image of your cartridge (either take photo or google it)
7. last but not least, what had you did/tried to the point you gave up and ask for help (detail it all to us)

Maybe then, someone could help you after knowing all those info; remember.....by being informative, you will help us to help you.

@Whiteace,

Maybe it's a glitch you experienced. Tried using a different rom, but name both the save file and rom the exact same to the dot. Maybe it'll be resolved. Who knows....

 

@PlasmaShooter & Berex_33 (including boyfriend);

Have you all any YSMENU/TTMENU in your cart's as secondary firmware?
Since you haven't mention it, I shall assume none of you have.

Check the FLASHCART SECTION (http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=43121.0), there's YSMENU/TTMENU topic;
1. Download the RGF package and Jhon591's package (you can find his latest in the last page of the topic); unpack them
2. Back up your entire SD MICRO content
3. Format the SD MICRO using the program provided in RGF's package
4. Copy over the backed up files to the SD MICRO (do keep a copy in the computer as well for safety!)
5. Open RGF's package, and find in the compatibility list which one match your cart's website and product name (copy the folder to your SD MICRO).
6. Open the TTMENU folder, locate these; extinfo.dat, infolib.dat, and savlib.dat. Replace all 3 with Jhon591's set. (Unless, RGF already update
his package to the latest, cause at current it's still v.6.95 r6126)
7. Try loading your card again on the console, run the TTMENU.nds or YSMENU.nds first after switching on before loading the rom.
Hopefully it's resolved.

Note:
* Careful....not to overwrite any files belonging to the R4 ! If you did, replace the overwritten file with the backed up file.
That's why keeping a back up is always mandatory.
* If your cart is not among the listed, try the R4_SDHC-R4i_SDHC package, but do keep a back up of the SD MICRO content.
If it doesn't re-solve your problem, means it's not compatible, delete the YSMENU/TTMENU package in your SD MICRO.
* If it work, use 'unpatched' rom, there's no longer the need to use pre-patched rom.

 

Use Retrogamefan's YSMENU/TTMENU as your secondary firmware since the N5 is outdated, find it in the FLASHCART SECTION, read compatibility list to know which one in the package to use on the N5 (it's an R4 clone by the way); remember to back up SD Micro content before giving it a go, by following the instructions provided.

 

1. Make sure you are using the correct version of WOOD for R4 according to what your cart is. Also make sure your cart is supported by WOOD.
Only the original R4DS v.1.18 (non-SDHC cart), R4i Gold from r4idsn.com and r4ids.cn, and Acekard R.P.G will run WOOD. The rest will not,
even if there is any claim about it, the so call WOOD isn't from YWG, or already no longer supported.
2. If you are using the latest WOOD according to what your cart can use, then make sure to use CLEAN (unpatched) rom. Make sure to
delete the existing save file, probably it's corrupted.
3. Refrain from using too many cheats, it seems some on the database isn't working well.

Tempering with the settings won't do much difference. So let it be at default. Just make sure your R4 is one that can use WOOD that is supported
by YWG. Don't go for WAIO, MAIO, WOOD for SDHC, etc. They are not from YWG and has no ability to run new roms.

In any case, next time please clearly mention what your R4 cart brand, official website, firmware, etc. There are over 2 dozen carts going by that name alone. Most are either clones, or clone of a clone, which can be very unreliable.

If you are clueless about your error issues, we are even more clueless about your problem. Posting a message like you just did, means nothing to us. We can't help you if you're not being informative and detail. So NO! we can't explain anything to you, we don't even know which to explain, too broad and general. Give details first about your cart, it's website, firmware, rom region, what you had did that ended with error, what sort of error, etc. Else, we won't explain anything, since there are so many things to explain. It'll be a waste of our time and effort explaining about the many probabilities. Better you explain your end of the issue first, then we'll assist from there. So that we don't go off providing technical support for nothing, and you'll just end up more confused and frustrated than you already are.

 

Cause the majority still thinks No$GBA is the best, fastest, less buggy, high compatibility, reliable, and most up to date.
That's why. However, they probably didn't realize that it's been abandoned for several years now, while DeSmuMe still getting continuous updates. Thus the only reliable portion still hold true, is just the superior speed being still above DeSmuMe. Every one has their preference and stereotyping.
