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

Yeah. Can't wait to play BW2 without any problems

 

Wood R4 v1.50... the last usefull update comming up.

 

I hope a lot don't lose Faith in YWG that they can't even Do a special update for Two Good Game's as in PM B/W2 (JPN) !lol, But yet leave it untill next month anyway ??? .

 

Hi, I have a r4ids.com cart and the r4igold ver. loads on it. However, when I try to load any game, it gets stuck at the black loading screen. Does it mean that I've downloaded the wrong kernel? Any idea how to fix this??

 

Include the game you want to load and the version of wood your using.

 

All of the games. I tried Pokemon Platinum, Crafting Mama and Sally's Salon, nothing new, just want to check if my DS still works because I haven't played with it for a while. I downloaded the latest version on the first page. 1.49 for r4igold.

 

Try Wood v1.25 for DSTT, it is not as up-to-date but it should run most of the games u have, and its working on R4iDS gold also.

 

I would like to add that, I just downloaded the "r4ids gold official firmware 1.51C," which runs fine on my cart. I'm not sure what version of r4 wood is on that, but it runs games just fine. I just can't get it to upgrade to 1.49 though. I tried installing the kernel (both for r4idsn and r4igold, both work but freezes at game loading screen) and replacing the .NDS file. Neither works. Any help will be much appreciated.

Interestingly, I've never been able to get DSTT to work. Maybe I just haven't tried hard enough.

 

You could always use WAIO also or try getting YSMenu to run.
It might just be u got R4IDSgold v2 instead of 1 witch means it doesnt run on it propper.

 

Actually, I'm pretty sure mine is a r4ids gold v.1 cart as it was gotten in 2008, before r4ids.com and .cn split. I'll keep trying to see what I can do. At least the version on my cart right now is working.

 

Thats good,
You've tried running both the .dat file and secondary only using my own .nds file right?
seems to make a diffrence some times.
If all fails theres always YSMenu luckly

 

Yup. The .dat files run, but get stuck at the game loading screen. The .nds files (which I rename to WOODR4.nds as the original file included in the kernel package v1.51c) don't. A white screen appear when I use them. If I try to run them on an even older kernel (v1.35), I need to format my sd card afterwards.

I'm wondering why the old version works and the new one doesn't. There are some games I'd love to get working but the version that comes with the kernel can't play them.

 

Maybe cus some date has changed in the firmware making it uncompactible for your version, im going to have a look whatever has changed.
Untill then i recomend u trying YSMenu v1.17a12: http://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/flashcart-files/download-retrogamefan-multi-cart-update-681-f30082.html

 

As I said, I could never get YSMenu to work. It just refuses to load and shows a black screen whenever I try. I wonder what I need on my cart to get it going.

OK, I'm a little obsessive but this is my afternoon's experimentation efforts:

Kernel: 1.32 (downloaded from r4ids.com's out-dated website) I can run r4 wood on it. As a .nds, it crashes my cart. As a .dat, it loads but is stuck at game loading screen.
Kernel: 1.35 Same thing as above. Can get games to run if using an older version of r4wood.
Kernel: 1.51c This kernel incorporates r4 wood into its menu. I can load up the .dat (which freezes at the loading screen) but if I install it as a .nds, my ds freezes when I press on the "game" menu button.

It seems that I MUST have the "_system_" file on my cart to get anything to work. I can't just have the "_rpg" file. Is this normal? Sometimes r4wood shows up without any text but only floating icons. My best results are obtained by using the r4wood that comes with the 1.51c kernel. I suppose it's quite an old version coz I can't get most of the new games to work, but at least it runs. V1.45 and v1.49 all freeze at some point or another.

Adding: found out that 1.51c is pre-loaded with r4 wood 1.42. Again, waiting to see if I can upgrade it to 1.49.

 

How do i get pokemon heartgold and soulsilver (u) to work with the latest wood firmware?

 

Update?
and make sure you have the CLEAN roms not the PATCHED ones.

 

nvm

 

O well one month to this date since 21st of last month, And no update bit odd ???

Then again could be tommoro we hope
