Hacking New users guide to setting up Wood R4

[Mages4ever]

Lol, Mage4ever and I were attempting to use the AKAIO guide you had to make one for the WoodR4, but there isn't much of a point now xD.

Heh. I'll just keep mine as an FAQ.
I guess for the people that have issues after following this guide.

 

[digipokemaster]

will it work on my r4irts from r4rts.cn?

 

[Infinite Zero]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wont works on ANY clone.
Might work but there are massive issues

 

[omegaultima]

How's is working out for you guys?
Worth the switch? Or should I stick to YSMenu for now?

 

[Infinite Zero]

you need to go for wood
it's working excellent for most of us
I

WOOD!

Why would you want WoodR4 on a R4iRTS anyways...that card is still being supported by the M3 team...

Its worth the switch (its only a couple second drag-&-drop), though I still keep my YSMenu there just in case there is ever a homebrew problem.

Switching is better

But as jurassicplayer said, keep YSMenu as a homebrew just in case.

Do you think they will release Wood as an .nds file? I am asking because then I can use wood on other flash carts as a secondary OS.

You can use r4crypt to build it into a .nds file.

This is a Wood R4 1.07 build as an NDS file http://rapidshare.com/files/391922712/wood_r4_v1.07.rar can't say i've tried it as I can't be bothered switching wood to something else to find out. If AW or YWG have a problem with that upload, let me know and i'll remove it.

Could you add in a section on how to make YSmenu an executable?

use JP's YSMenu mini generator.

it has an option of executable homebrew

 

[tk_saturn]

Could you add in a section on how to make YSmenu an executable?

I could, but I haven't actually used YSmenu before lol. I only brought the R4 because I was curious about Wood and to write the guide.

I definately need to add a moonshell section though.

The problem is Costello has disabled the anchors, so if the guide gets to big it will be a pain to navigate.

 

[basher11]

should i help make a tutorial for you tk_saturn?

That's actually funny lol, if that was meant in a humourous way.

If you think I need a to add a YSMenu section then I could, I guess I was just trying to keep it simple for the n00bs.

I also really need to add a 3-in-1 section, but I don't have a 3-in-1. It's hard to justify spending $20 on one so I can do the guide.

I still need to some more images for the latter half of the guide first.

 

[jurassicplayer]

Rawrs, I think the moonshell2 section should be in the moonshell2 threads stickied in the Homebrew section since that is a fair bit more generalized (the exact same thing as what is done with AKAIO...and maybe ysmenu to an extent).

 

[tk_saturn]

You're right, there shouldn't be any difference between MoonShell with Wood and MoonShell with any of the other firmwares.

I'll probably just add a quick section so noobs know they can use it to playback media files and then add a link to a more indepth guide already present on here.

Given the number of in depth YSMenu guides on here, I probably just add links to a couple of the YSmenu threads.

 

[iXXi]

Why don't you put it in a perl script and then upload it to filetrip?

Hi mate made a simple Bash Script instead for Linux users it should work with Mac OS also.

[tk_saturn]

added a link to it at the bottom of the guide, as your post may get buried in amongst others.

 

[logical thinker]

Thanks for the guide, tk_saturn. It is good and clear.

It is so easy to use cheats, now.

This is how the cheating system worked in the first versions of Wood: http://gbatemp.net/t170222-woodrpg-v1-00?v...t&p=2160695 (This method does not work in the new versions.)

 

[kat499]

Can someone clarify what the last instruction of step 4 means?

"Enter the wood_r4_v1.XX directory, delete _DS_MENU.DAT and r4crypt.exe, now copy the entire contents of the directory to your MicroSD card."

where do you enter the wood_r4_v1.XX directory? where do you delete the ds menu.DAT?
