    So I have to format my card etc. etc. which I'm using the recommended SDformatter for, but there's 1 problem. I have to use the 2 options listed in the OP of the thread you linked, but one of them is not there >.>
    I can click the "overwrite format" option but There's no such thing as "format size adjustment". (I'm using a mac)
    Do I just click format?

    what do
    Post Merge: [time]1354650824[/time]
    I went ahead and formatted the card, replaced my old files with the new YSmenu. When I start up my DS the loading screen comes up, and afterwards it goes into a black screen.

    if you would download the multi cart update, there's a folder for the R4 SDHC in there, there's also a download link to wood R4 for the R4SDHC in the OP of this thread.

    Maybe they found out about XXXX - Learn with Pokemon Typing Adventure (FRA) and put WooR4 original on hold...

    But shame if they missed out.

    I tried to use the _ds_menu.dat and convert it into woodr4.nds, use them on my cart, it just stays on loading.
    Not sure why.....I was thinking maybe the _ds_menu.dat use in Wood R4 original is the same as the others, but somehow I can't use it.
    Maybe it's my cart nearing full or I forgot to do something which I haven't been able to figure out, or maybe they're different from each other.

    No they are totly diffrent _DS_MENU.dat one for each card.

    Also as a .nds boot loader only the one for original R4 will work on DeSmuME , the other two will not.

    You need R4 Crypt to decrypt them into a .nds boot loder

    Edit R4 Crypt - UseMe.bat to

    Code:
    @echo off
    cls
    :menu
    echo -------------
    echo  Action Menu
    echo ------------- 
    echo [1] Decrypt
    echo [2] Encrypt
    echo [3] Close
    echo -------------
    echo. 
    set INPUT=
    Set /P INPUT= Action: 
    
    
    if "%input%" =="" goto menu
    if "%input%" =="1" goto decrypt
    if "%input%" =="2" goto encrypt
    if "%input%" =="3" goto close
    
    :decrypt
    r4crypt.exe -d _DS_MENU.DAT woodr4.nds
    goto close
    
    :encrypt
    r4crypt.exe -e woodr4.nds _DS_MENU.DAT
    goto close
    
    :close
    cls
    
    easer this way.

    Yup, I did that. I got the codes and method from CK3.
    Yeah, as I suspected, they are different, no wonder I can't just duplicate the _ds_menu.dat on the R4 Original. That sucks..... I was hoping it's like the extinfo/infolib/savlib that can be use over various R4s.
    Seems like it's not....will have to wait and see if he'll release them soon.

    Yes, normally they release them at the same time, just strange how they put a hold on just the woodr4 for r4 original only.

    Could check later I suppose.

    Do can do the same with ysmenu and woodr4 as .nds boot loaders , and use one of for main loader , so toy switch between woodr4 and ysmenu is easier by booting each .nds file.

    Yeah it's strange YWG only released for 1 out of 3 that he supported.
    Such a pity.

    But see this:
    Seems like the main reason for this update for R4i Gold is the beta RTS ability. The other 2 supported carts namely R4 Original and Acekard RPG will not be able to use the said function, thus no updates. But given the size of the _DS_MENU.DAT, it does leads me to think an update for the other 2 should be around the corner. However it seems YWG is concentrating on improving the RTS for R4i Gold first before releasing another update.

    I see your point prectorian ^ ;)

    Is a good thing to get it all stable and sorted for that other card.

    What the hell is RTS?

    It stands for 'Real Time Saving', the same saving method use in DeSmuMe which uses 2 kinds of save files; .dst and .dsv. YWG is duplicating the method.
