Pokémon White on R4 SDHC: neither YSmenu nor Wood works.

    I'm trying to run Pokémon White Version on my R4 SDHC (Sandisk 2GB). Wood doesn't work for me, I just get a white screen when booting the game after woodr4sdhc.nds, and if I boot WAIO.nds, I get a blue screen with a lot of text, at the end, it says 'Cannot open /MOONSHL2. Accept your fate. Press A to shutdown.' It doesn't matter which save type I'm using, it seems.

    YSmenu gives me errcode=-4 (not only White, also Kirby Squeak Squad for example). Maybe useful to note: I'm using http://filetrip.net/f21865-R4-SDHC-(r4new-com-version)-1-23.html as 'original firmware' at the moment. The 'newest' firmware 1.34 for R4 SDHC doesn't work for some reason, after a short 'Loading', I get a black screen.

    I've tried so many things to run the game. I've tried r4ysauto and a2h's YSMenu builder, both with no results. I've read serveral topics from people who had the same problem as me (or at least comparable), like http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=53785.0, http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=43121.0, several things on http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=49399, like 'How to play Pokémon B/W on clones' and R4 SDHC, and http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=29449.0. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5QWWAwDx9s doesn't work either.

    I've this kind of R4 SDHC (I've heard there are many different types):

    Althrough, on my cart 'NDSL/NDS' isn't between ().

    Please help me to play this awesome game.
    I've tried so much to play it, it make me feel so lost.. :'(

    Thanks in advance.

    Wow. I really feel sorry for you. But as always, I can help (hopefully). Ok. This is how to set it up.

    1 > Download the latest R4 SDHC firmware (v1.34) from their site.
    2 > Download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?sox7dxb2l0mwdno
    3 > Copy all the files from both downloads to your R4 (I'd format it first)
    4 > Run the DS into the original firmware.
    5 > Load "Wood R4 SDHC.nds"
    6 > Load your Pokemon Rom
    7 > If not working (it might happen) when at the rom double tap "y" on your DS. Turn of Action Replay and Reset In Game
    8 > Press "a" twice and load your rom again.

    Note: Do not worry when loading files in Wood. The black screen at the top with the writing is meant to happen

    i did this, but when i turned on my r4i, it just had a symbol of an sd card on it. I deleted wood to get it working again. I am using r4i sdhc and am getting quite annoyed, as i really want to play black/white, but keep getting -4 errcode. (the firmware is all up to date)

    Ok. Lets see if this works.

    1 > Download the latest R4i SDHC firmware (v1.34) from their site.
    2 > Download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?7m482z07trthssn
    3 > Copy both files to your SD Card
    4 > Run the DS into your original firmware
    5 > Load "Wood R4i SDHC.NDS or Wood R4i SDHC (2).NDS if one doesn't work.
    6 > Load your Pokemon Rom
    7 > If not working (it might happen) when at the rom double tap "y" on your DS. Turn of Action Replay and Reset In Game
    8 > Press "a" twice and load your rom again.

    This should work.
    Can you also give me the download link of your Pokemon Rom. Thanks

    Thanks for trying to help me.
    Sadly, this doesn't work for me. :(

    When I turn my DS on, after a short 'Loading', it freezes with a black screen. Firmware Version 1.34 for R4 SDHC doesn't seem to work for me at all. And when I try to run Pokémon White with Wood on my previous firmware, it also doesn't work. Even if I turn AR and Reset In Game off.

    I'm using a clean version of Pokémon White (EUR), and a patched one where I don't really remember were it came from (I think I patched it myself with the OpenPatch from http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=53363.0). BTW, when I'm using the pre-patched version from http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=53388, it says: "sav is fragmented. Please defrag using PC. It this is the first time, as sav created on NDS is likely fragmented, so MOVING to PC then coping from PC back will do. Halt". ???

    EDIT:
    This also doesn't work. Every version of Pokémon White freezes in a white screen. No matter of save type of AR/Reset In Game.

    Why don't you try RetroGameFan's firmware?

    http://gbatemp.net/t267243-retrogamefan-updates-releases

    Just read the instructions carefully.

    :(

    This doesn't work.
    The .txt file in the .rar says that I have to use TTMenu in the R4-SDHC_R4i-SDHC folder. But when I try to load TTMenu, it just loads indefinitely (with a little block in the corner that turns and turns).
    And the R4SDHC folder also doesn't work, I get a black screen after a short 'Loading'.

    It seems nothing wants to work..

    Sorry, Akaio 1.81 doesn't work either.
    The top screen freezes with a white screen, the bottom with a black one.
