Hacking New users guide to setting up Wood R4

[Copesnuffdss]

Could some one tell me if woods will work with this card the one that uses 1.09 http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/downloade.asp

Wood R4 doesn't support (or at the very least not entirely compatible) R4 SDHC if I remember correctly. Looks around! Google is your friend y'know.

So...

Could you (or someone else) ready another
"Alternatively a premade Wood R4 v1.15 as secondary Operating Software can be downloaded from Here or Here"
but for 1.17?


Just like for 1.15, whenever I try to set it up myself, even though the guide is really good and I follow it exactly, nothing works at all. So I'm kind of dependant on a premade secondary OS setup being available.

It's not exactly hard to change the _ds_menu.dat into a regular .nds file...You just need to find something like R4denc and just run the _ds_menu.dat through the decrypting and rename the output into blah.nds. Apart from that, it's the exact same setup.

I had the same problem that I had the last time I came here (see post a few pages back), after doing exactly what the guide said failed, I also tried a few other tools that were supposed to change the .dat into an .nds.
They all either did nothing at all, or crashed and died, or created a 0 kbyte .nds file that didn't do crap, or crashed my whole computer.


Nothing I try on this matter ever works. So if I have no premade Wood-as-secondary-OS available, I end up having no Wood at all.

Well, untested and whatnot, but it should work...

[SpeediZero]

Thought I'd make a .nds file for v1.18 for those who want to use wood as a secondary OS.
Wood R4 v1.18 nds file

 

[gorelab]

Am missing something? I copied the DS_Menu.dat file and the _rpg directory to my r4 card for Wood 1.18 but it seems to be running 1.17.

 

[TransformersFan]

I copied the new files after formating my sd card and now I only get a black loading screen. What have I dont wrong?

 

[ilovewendy]

thanks SpeediZero!!!!

 

[ywg]

Hey Guys sorry to bother you the Links for the Cheats.DAT file in the original Guide seems to be broken .
[Nevermind tried it again now and it works]

I pretty much said the instructions already...
-Download http://filetrip.net/f977-r4denc.html
-Extract to computer
-Drag and drop _ds_menu.dat onto r4dec.exe
-Rename _ds_menu.dat.dec to WoodR4.nds
-Use WoodR4.nds...
-???
-Profit?

I'm trying to follow the instructions in the first post to get wood running as a secondary OS, but using XP I don't get the "open command window here" no matter how I try.

I'm trying to follow the instructions in the first post to get wood running as a secondary OS, but using XP I don't get the "open command window here" no matter how I try.

An alternate way to achieve this is to copy and paste the following line into Notepad

[email protected]

and save it as "Open Command Window Here.bat" inside the folder, then just double click on the .bat file. If it just opens again in Notepad, it saved as .bat.txt, and you need to change that (you may have to show hidden file extensions, which is another issue I won't go into unless you run into this problem).

 

[Retrovertigo]

@qwertymodo - that worked great thanks

Only issue I seem to have, is that folders appear onscreen with no text beside them describing what they contain. I am guessing it must be an issue with having it as a secondary OS. Games load, just a pain navigating them.

I have little interest in GBAtemp anymore and had no intentions of posting again.

It's pissed me off now. On Windows XP you can get the "Command Prompt Here" by downloading the XP powertools from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa...ppowertoys.mspx I've already mentioned it somewhere in the thread. Powertools was always a very useful set of tweaks, hence why most of it was interated into Vista.
