Hacking Wood R4 BUGS and Compatibility

[jurassicplayer]

I call that very dangerous. Usually I don't notice it needs charging because I've decided to just run the charge out if the light turns red, and go charge it afterwards.
If I remember correctly, this method really doesn't serve the battery life well...

QUOTEThe battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery.

Looks like I did remember correctly xD.

What the bug is: Lags during saving

is lag while saving dont allow you play game? i dont' think so.

Well, sometimes just seconds after it finishes saving and goes back to the song select menu, it powers off because it needs a charge.

does a retail rom drain the power of your nds?
do other flash kits drain the power of your nds?
does the r4 1.18 official firmware drain the power of your nds?

your issues reads as if your nds is having the problem. i have not experienced any power drain that causes me to recharge my ds after a save. perhaps you need to replace your battery. it is known that saving, wifi, flash kits in general, will use more battery than normal operations. depending on the age of your nds, i would assume that you need to buy a new battery. if this was a problem, with saving killing the battery, you would have heard about it by now. this can not be firmware related, as in the firmware is not killing your battery.

That`s strange, since I own 2 DSes lite, and since WOOD R4 at least`s on brightness 2, battery life now has been reduced 1 hour or so compared to R4`s main firmware, i can really object that as both DS are relatively new and gameplay with carts `d last at least for 7~8 hours on the mentioned brightness.

However nothing to regret anyway, WOOD R4 has everything i ever wanted, thanks a lot ; )

Wii connection and so.

it takes more battery life to emulate ds games, and since your brightness is at 2, then your DS would be losing battery life faster

Nothing is emulating DS games.

to load games?


Let me put it this way...
If it takes a flashcart with onboard CPUs (i.e. iPlayer and SuperCard Two) to emulate GBA games... there's no way that a flashcart without onboard CPU's (i.e. everything else) can emulate a more advanced system.
If I'm not mistaken, the flashcart reads the "ROM" (misnomer, a retail cart is a ROM or Read Only Memory, the file you can download is a ROM Dump) file from the flashcart in a way that lets the NDS see it as a retail cart. This would be more Simulation, not Emulation.

 

[basher11]

same thing

im not gonna argue anymore. this is going nowhere

 

[tk_saturn]

Flashcarts aren't emulating DS games but they are emulating DS cartridges.

The flashcart is presenting a game on the MicroSD card to the DS as if it were an actual retail cartridge. To me that's still emulation.

Huh. Well I forget and plug my charger in whenever anyway.. XD

I don't know if this is a glitch or an intended function, but if you copy Slot2 Card to your favourites, it'll automatically boot GBA games when you navigate to your favourites folder, or press X.

Some people may even find that useful.

yay new update! *-*

 

[lostdwarf]

Wood R4 doesn't work on clones.

 

[riverchen]

On Mario and Luigi, BIS, when I put the ds in sleep, it freezes.

DS #4961: 100 Classic Books (USA)

whenever you choose read books, the game sends you back through the loading screens and back to the menu

 

[Inunah]

Game name: Jam with the Band
Release number: 4900
CRC: I don't know what that is.
Clean ROM: YES
What the bug is: Pause Screen freezes and menu disappears, Closing DS overclocks the game (causing the light to blink fast). (both bugs relate to eachother, hence why they're in the same report)
What you did to debug it: I don't know how to debug things.
How you can repeat the bug: Go to a custom song (like a song you put in with the Degausser or something), pause the game, close the DS, and if the power light blinks like the game is overclocked, open the DS again and wait a moment and all the menu items will disappear (as if you unpaused) save for your little selection box that tells you what you're selecting, and the game will be frozen.
Etc: I haven't been able to repeat this bug since. Possibly a one time thing.
Etc: This is WITHOUT CHEATS ACTIVATED.



I know this isn't a DS game, but I wanted to check it out and then......
Game name: Pokemon ShinyGold
Release number: XXXX
CRC: I don't know what that is
Clean ROM: NO (Hack)
What the bug is: Game doesn't start (freezes on Game Boy Advance logo that's missing © Nintendo)
What you did to debug it: I don't know how to debug things.
How you can repeat the bug: Try to start the game.
Etc: This is a hack of a GBA game.... Maybe Wood R4 just doesn't run hacked games.
