Wood R4 v1.04

[omgpwn666]

Should this in anyway be compared to Akaio like many are doing? I'm confused, it seems like people are throwing out Acekards for R4 all of the sudden.

ya because doesn't it feel good when you say the r4 is better than the (insert flashcart here)

Feels more weird because of all the hating users have been doing, but it does feel kind of good. Haha

I would like to say thank you Yellow Wood Goblin for creating this firmware. It certainly provides the betterment of genuine R4's.

I'm having doubts of buying that r4 from shoptemp :/

What if normmatt blocks it D:

Well, I guess my two $60 R4s now have a chance at lasting me.

wood's firmware is more of a stripped down akaio. it does alittle less but does it better. the rpg support in akaio is old code from YWG.

norm has nothing to do with this firmware, he simply offered some advice that made this "port" possible. people need to get this straight. yellow wood goblin is not normmatt, YWG's firmware is not akaio.

I thot normmatt did most of the work to get it on r4 and ywg made the wood rpg but i guess im wrong

how often does ywg update his firmware?

If you think about it, this Wood R4 1.04 FW could be a good deal for people who still have an original R4 lying around, like I do. You could let a friend or relative borrow it to play just about whatever game they want. Being limited to 2gigs is a bummer for people with newer SDHC flashcarts, so pop this FW on a 2gig microSD, load it up with a list of games the person wants, stick it in the old R4 and give it to 'em. They'll love it! Especially if they've never used a flashcart before. This could also prevent people from overwriting saves on the flashcart you normally use.

I mean, let's face it, anyone who's upgraded their flashcart away from the R4 when the R4 Team disbanded would probably never go back to the R4 anyway, so you might as well hook someone up with the R4 and some games.

No need to worry about sorting save files on a fresh setup.....just leave enough room on the microSD for the save files based on how many games there are and let the kid tell you if any games don't work.

Hopefully this new FW alternative will get frequent enough updates to keep the crusty old grandpa-R4 alive for just a little while longer.

Kudos to everyone involved in its creation!

From what I see with my own eyes, I already want the next version of YWG's Firmware.

Wow now this is big news ! the ONLY and FIRST cart i still have and still use is an R4 with YS Menu of course. BUT with proper firmware this is something worth updating. Thanks to the creator and team who developed this.

(these are tears of joy)

i am so exited with all the cool skins that i will probably eat the whole 2 gigs in skins alone! bare with me on this... after years on the boring ysmenu skin!

 

[jurassicplayer]

from what i understand its a flag at compile time and he plans to keep it as up-to-date as his rpg firmware.

Yup, works on the uber cheap R4DS (SD). That's all, though, I think.
