Wood R4 - The New Firmware 99.8% Compatibility (CK3)

Okay, just noticed that Wood M3 is listed as working on an R4 SDHC
I have an R4 SDHC from www.r4sdhc.com and i've tried using Wood M3 1.25 and got stuck on a forever loading screen while trying to boot a game.

Tried formatting my card, made sure that both the NDS and SAV file is defragmented but still stuck
Help?

 

Try this... First of all, Wood uses Clean ROMs - Download another one from a different site that says it's clean and not patched or manipulated in any way. There's plenty out there, just search via Google. I can't put an actual link here as it's not permitted to do so. The save file will be compatible with the exchanged ROM since it's the same game. But to avoid any hastle, try to keep the region of the ROM the same IE: (U), (E), etc. This should fix your problem. If not, the only other alternative would be to make sure that you have the latest "working" firmware available for the cart (R4, whatever) regardless of wether it is original firmware or an alternatively made one for it that also works... G'Luck

P.S. Since this is the WAIO / Wood Firmware forum - I kindly don't want to get into the ROM problem any further and send things off tilt. Thanks!

 

R4 III work perfectly on the wood Waio 3.0 ....
you could tell me what program and how you update the new games for it then I would be updating ...

 

I've taken out the update sources because Xenon++ told me to do so.
In other words i will not share it.

 

Hello

I bought a flashcard from www.r4ultra.com in september '10 and have only been able to make it work with the socalled kernel from the above mentioned page. How do I use wood r4 i have tried to copy and install a lot of versions.

The packet and card look like this:




Hope you can help me

Was the new WAIO supposed to allow more recent games to work? Because for the games I wanted to play (Radiant Historia, Golden Sun, Pokemon B/W) it appears to be exactly the same. Either it won't run or it won't save.

All I did was remove the pre-existing _rpg, waio.nds, and woodr4.nds files, install 1.16 on my sd card, and delete the unnecessary .nds files (I have an R4 III). Did I do something wrong?

 

New game support worked but it messed up some system files because i did it wrong,
So i'm looking into it abit, this release is mostly the while system finished.

 

I wasn't able to play new games. Which do I run while in the RIII menu, waio.nds or Woodr4.nds?

 

Ok, so i just tried wood r4 and it seemed to work, so i decided to get a skin.
But for some reason, i can't get this skin to work on my r4...it should be compatible right?... I can not click anywhere, as if the screen froze, and I can't see any folders aswell!

I wonder if you could get the rom Superman Returns because it freezes after the first round = (

I was about to ask whether WAIO was updated or not, but looks like I don't need to anymore. Thanks for the hard work, guys.

And congratulations on your child, CoolKill3r. ^^

 

Hey, people! I'm really new on this R4 stuff, so be easy on me...

I installed the R4 Wood on my R4 (I don't know if it's original or clone... It's just saying "Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS)"... Anyways, I installed the Wood R4 that it's for original R4 owners. I did everything it was said to install, but whenever I insert my R4 on my DS, it just says that it's "Loading..." and it stays there forever!

I want to use this Wood upgrade because I'm trying to play Pokémon: SoulSilver, but it crashes every few events! Does the R4 Wood corrects this?

 

Hello diddy rock, i tried getting a different copy of soul silver but its doing the same thing

Hi, I'm new to the whole "Wood" firmware for the R4. I have the original R4 and I was wondering if I should get it. I have never used it before so I was wondering if there are any big changes from the v1.18 R4 firmware? Also will I have to get all new Roms for it? One last question, if I download and use the new Wood firmware (1.28 right now i believe) will it also have the pre-1.28 updates with it or is there something else I have to do to get those as well? Sorry for all the questions. but any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Yes it fixes it, it fixes almost 99.8% of all games.
Anyways try and see if your sd card is nicely slide into your flashcard and try reinstalling Wood R4 again.
If that doesnt work, try and see if YSMenu does you can get that from the 'Download/Tools' section!

Read some of the spoilers below the first post like the 'Wood R4 Setup Guide' & 'FAQ' sections.
Second you can keep the roms no changes need to be made.
And you need to redownload wood r4 everytime if you want to use the newest updates but only have to replace the _ds_menu.dat if you ONLY care about new game compactibillety OR you can download it once and use my .NDS file to load it and when there is a new version you only download the loss .nds file and replace that simply, you do have to keep your old firmware to load wood r4 tho.
And you can find the changes into the 'Changelog'

Hope this answers some of your question and if you still dont get some things then post again.

 

Thank you, that did answer alot of my questions. I have one more though (sorry :-\). What will happen to my save files that I have already? Am I able to keep them or do I have to restart all of them?

 

As long as you don't delete your save files, they will be fine
