I recently found my old r4 card(it is the original one) and just bought a new 2gb sd card. I downloaded the wood 1.62 kernel for the original r4 and put the r4 clone folder from the RetroGameFan multicart folder onto my sd card. I also added a few games to my r4 card. However, only some of the games actually work on ys menu. For example, when I boot up mario kart ds or super mario 64 ds, the game works perfectly without any errors. However, when I try to boot up any Pokemon game or new super mario bros, ys menu doesn't work and shows a white screen. I am unsure why this problem is only happening for some games. From what I have read online, this problem is different from others so I am unsure what to do. If anyone can help troubleshoot, it would be greatly appreciated.

The wood kernel gives the same white screen error for all games including mario kart ds and super mario 64
You might need to patch those roms for antipiracy.
Some cards comes with the feature, and I'm guessing either the card you have is a bad clone or simply too old to work properly.

I this case patch problematic roms and hope for the best.
Another reason mifht be bad rom dumps.

But to avoid problems get the real deal or invest in a better card.

PS: On the cheap side, TopToy DS is a card that never game me problems. R4for3DS also didn't gave me problems, in theory it's fully compatible witg DS roms given that it was released after the DS lifespan. But again, TTDS was and still is my preferred.

    @Xdqwerty HM...

    If the cat girl leaves, my kokoro dies a little.

    If I piss off the cat grill friend, I get no food and he's likely to grill me.

    There's just no winning here 😂

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @RedColoredStars, but what is the game about?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, Never heard of it. Any good?
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    You control a kitten. You fall out the window and have to make your way back home. Solve some light puzzles, do cat things like knock stuff over and steal things, trip people up when theyre walking, pounce on birds, complete goals/tasks etc. in the process of getting back to your home.

    @RedColoredStars, sounds kinda neat
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.

    @RedColoredStars, Reminds me of a similar game called "Neko Atsume", similar to Nintendogs but you look after cats.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    So a man goes to the doctor because his boner wont go down. As he is laying in the hospital bed, with his thing propped up in the air, a fly is flying around and landing on the tip and bothering him, so he calls in the nurse. The nurse comes in, swats at the fly but can't quite reach it, so she climbs his boner to get better aim. After a few tries of swatting and sliding back down, she says sorry I cant get it. He says keep going, a few more tries, and I can shoot it down.
