Pokemon Black2/White2 with R4?

Can I use a regular R4 (for DS and DSLite) to play B2W2? any special files to be added to work on?

 

I don't know about regular R4 but both Black/White 2 work on R4i Gold 3DS with 1.52 Wood.

 

I am downloading White 2 patched. Will be trying it on the R4(not R4i, gold, or wood, just regular old R4 on original DS). I'll let you know how it goes.

Edit: Doesn't work. All I got was a white screen. Looks like I'll have to buy a newer card. Which card should I buy though? One that is reliable and future proof.

 

there is no need to buy a newer card. i have the old r4 as well and i added woodr4 to get the rom to work.

 

I thought Wood R4 is for Wood R4 card? I can load the Wood R4 firmware to the R4?

Edit: Yes it works with Wood R4! Thank you brother.

Edit 2: When I watch the intro it freezes. If I skip the intro and go to new game then it works fine.

 

hmm, was using the patched rom on R4iGold 3ds from r4ids.cn and it freezes randomly,, like in wild pokemon battles..=/

 

downloaded the v1.53 from r4ids.cn .. copied the file components into my sd card, switch on my ds and selected my r4i3dgold cart, went into wood r4 screen but at the top the version still says v1.52. ._."

then i tried to run pokemon white 2 usa again.. it freezes at name selection..

 

Thanks for the responses. But would R4DSi work on a DSLite? or they just named it "DSi" cuz it is updated up to the DSi system?

 

A flashcart that works an a DSi, also works on a DS Lite. That's why DS Lite is the best, you don't have to worry about updates, choosing game on startup etc.

 

What a dumb statement. The dsi hasnt gotten any updates since the 3ds was released. if you got a 3ds sucks to be you. DSI is apparently not really supported by nintendo anymore.

 

I don't have a 3DS, I have a DS Lite. Just wanted to point out that DSi has nothing better compared to DS Lite, but is harder to crack and had update issues. I really don't understand what you say.

 

Its entire hardware is an improvement to the ds lite. and not sure how you are meaning the harder to crack part.

 

Your problem may be with your sd TF card. I'm using a samsung class4 on r4ids.cn with wood 1.53 and it is working fine with the patched roms.

What are the specs of your sd micro card? Brand, size, class

I'm also using an ak2i with akaio1.90 without any freezing so far either. It is using a samsung class 10 16gb.

If I was you I would backup your micro sd and then format it to erase everything, make sure you check your backup folder to see if all your stuff is saved before you do format. Then load wood 1.53 firmware and then just load black 2 or white 2. Don't load any other rom to the card just to see if it still freezes without any other rom

Good luck

I have a few Lites, DSi's and a 3DS. Out of all of them the DSi gets the most use. I love having a Lite around in case I have family come over they can use it, and it is easier to know I can always use it if I need an update. DSi owners just need to be aware of new updates and just don't do them unless their cart has been updated and confirmed to be working with new DSi updates, that is the only downside to the DSi vs DS Lite

 

The 3ds is getting all the updates. There hasnt been a dsi update since the 3ds was released like i said earlier. so im going to assume that they wont be providing any more updates for it anyway so yeah.

 

What if I buy R4-3DS? Does it work on the DS Lite? Or it only works on 3DS?
