Nice update once again very useful, can I ask is the calendar still in this version? i find the back up saves very useful, especially when you want to change sav files.

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! this is why r4ds is the best slot 2 cart out there



Yeah, r4 is totally the best slot 2 cart out there, sgadzookie80. I totally agree with you.

Some would say Mewiga is cruel...some would say sgadzookie is just misguided...I say that the ability to delete files is awesome. Just hope it doesnt find some way to corrupt mSD cards

and for bobrules...
QUOTE(Rayder @ Apr 2 2007, 06:21 AM)There is only two files that need to be put on the card in this update.  Just overwrite the  _DS_MENU.DAT file on your R4 and add the gbaframe.bmp to your _system_ folder.

...Multiple themes still work as before.

does anyone know how to put different skins in the r4 folder so they are switchable in the r4 menu itself?
i know that you have to press start at the main menu to change skins, but where do you put the multiple skins in the micro sd card so they are switchable in the r4 main menu?

i have seen many people do that, but never could quite figure it out.

thanks in advance

They go in the "_system_" folder. Create one folder called "themes" in the "_system_" folder (no quotes) and then inside that folder create 12 folders called "theme01", "theme02"...ect. all the way to "theme12" (again, no quotes) and put one theme per folder.

All set!

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you HAVE to fill all the folders if you don't want to. I just put a theme in each folder and set it to rotate monthly.
