Pokemon White & Black Fully functional Tutorial.

UPDATE: INDEED, The US GAMES WORK, BUT YOU HAVE TO PATCH IT DIFFERENTLY, ONCE PATCHED JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AS IF THEY WHERE THE JP VERSIONS.

OK, for the past two days people been struggling for making Pokemon White/Back functional on their R4 SDHC.
Today, with a special thanks to Aurionfox, and anyone else who contribited to this finding, i will be posting this tutorial with the means of helping those who haven't had any luck booting eather Pokemon White/Black on their R4 SDHC.

First of all *links to ROMS are not allowed* so don't ask.

Things you will need
1.- Pokemon Black/White rom. (Don't ask, Google is your friend).
2.- Rudolph patch for the freezes.
3.- Lunar Ips for Exp fix.
4.- Desmume emulator.
5.- PC and R4SDHC.
6.- Official kernel 1.34
7.- microSD (2g recommended) (Anything greater than 2g gave me problems, feel free to try)

First this works with a R4SDHC, but if you have another one feel free to try it. (R4SDHC Only tested)

Download bellow (it has everything you need)

1.- Get a clean pokemon white or black rom (Dont't ask)
1.jpg

2.- Extract the contents of Pokemon Fix R4SDHC and First use the *Patch Black Fix* or *Patch White Fix* this is for Freezes. (included on Download link)

Patch the version you want using the corresponding Patch.(In this case pokemon Black)
4.jpg

3.- Now use the IPS patcher for the Experience AP (Included on Download link)

Use the correct IPS patcher corresponding on your version (In this case Pokemon Black)
7.jpg


4.- Once patched start the games using Desmume emulator, Start the Patched rom you created and save before you get your PKMN, Once you save you can close the emulator.

5.- Copy everything that is on The *SD* folder to the root of your microSD.

12.- Boot your rom, it should freeze with two white screens.
17.jpg

14.- Find your rom again, press (Y) again, then (Y) again, but this time change your save type to 512kb. Then press (A) to save.

15.- Boot your rom, this time it will work. Play a little bit and then save. If you boot your rom again and try to load it will erase your save file. (a blue screen with letters will show). If that shows you did it right.

16.- Now Go on your PC and connect yor microSD and find your save and erase it.

17.- Now find your RAM folder in the emulator, it should have a *ROMNAME*.dsv
21.jpg
22.jpg


18.- Now copy *ROMNAME*.dsv to the same folder you have your room on your microSD and change the file extension from .dsv to .sav
23.jpg


If for some reason when you load the .sav file on your R4 SDHC and it gives you a black screen, try using R4 Save Converter.

Or try this save and see if it works for you. Created by Aurionfox.

20.- Press (Y) twice and change the save type from 512kb back to *unknown/auto* then press (A) to save.

And if that doesn't work try putting 64M instead of auto/uknown. Some people claimed it worked for them.

If you did it right, it should boot and you will be able to save, gain EXP and no freezes. Enjoy

*NOTE*Note to anyone finding their character frozen when loading their save: When loading your game you'll be asked a question, select the bottom answer and then the first one. This turns off the C-Gear, if it's on you'll be unable to move.
Example:
Press No, then yes.

@donvsnaruto

wtf... what a horrible translation but well, let me try to decipher this, you say you have a R4SDHC (first generation), R4i SDHC or a R4SDHC (Second generation)

wich one?

@Nakazora

hahaha dont worry i was very very patient here not like some dstt post..., i told you that because some people doesn't work following this tutorial but when they use another firmware/rom/saves/types or everything, it works

... aun no entienden...
a ver, me explico mejor: el juego arranca, funciona, se ve
puedo ver la intro, puedo ver la pantalla de titulo, el menu...
puedo ponerle el nombre a mi personaje, me dan la tipica intro de un juego de pokemon, mas no puedo pasar al gameplay...
es como lo que me pasa en heartgold o soulsilver: cuando el profesor termina de hablar, todo se pone en n****...
no me aparece ni spring, ni gamefreak presents... ni nada... solo se queda en n****, ya no se que hacer...
DATO: cuando esto me paso por primera vez, crei que era normal, pero cuando ponia el save de desmume, me pasaba lo mismo descrito arriba


ENGLISH:
... you still don't get it...
let me explain myself better: the game works, you can see it
i can see the intro, the title screen, the menu...
i can name my character, i can hear (sort of) the typical intro of a pokemon game, yet i can't play it...
is like, what happens TO ME when testing heartgold or soulsilver: when the prof' finishes speaking, everything turns black...
no spring message, no gamefreak presents... nothing... it only remains black, and i dunno what to do...
PD: when this happened for the first time ever, i thought it was normal, but when i put the savefile from desmume, it happened to me the same thing as described above

ok let me think, you can try other possible solutions to this, try different roms, saves, firmwares, save type bigger than 512kb, this are the common solutions for the people who made it work, dont worry be patient just combine everything

i have exactly the same problem of Nakazora i tried all including chance save type but no results, i cant load the saves i put on my SD card (R4) & when i put new game (only option it appear) when i select my gender it frezee no black screen, only music

Update: I made it work in my R4 SDHC! I've put a new save that I did in DeSmuMe, and changed the save type to unknown/auto. It gave me two white screens. Then I just restarted my DS and changed save type to 512Kb. It worked! I've got Pokemon Black fully working in my N5 and Pokemon White fully working in my R4 SDHC.

It saves, don't freezes in rival first battle, I can get through pokemon center without freeze, etc..


@All
You can't give up. I tried this for about 1 day and 5 hours, and now I got it working in 2 Flashcarts.

Thanks!

Just tried the tutorial, it worked on my "R4-III Upgrade". I'm at route 2 (I think?) and had no problems so far.

Too bad I need to start WAIO everytime I wanna play but it's a fair price.

Welp, despite yesterdays success, while messing around in the root of my SD card, I accidentally deleted my black save and now I'm back at square one.
Nothing seems to work this time around, I tried pretty-much everything and nope, nothing works.

FUCK MY LIFE.

Any suggestions?

Well,dammit. Here's what I got thus far
-Followed all instructions
-Game works
-I can choose a variety of different errors
--Unknown/Auto Save: works,but doesn't load save
--512KB:works and loads save,but freezes when I choose save file
--64MB: Doesn't work

What now? I tried your uploaded .sav's, used my own,renamed them, converted them with the r4 save converter, and anything else you posted here.
Can you help?

sorry lets get back to work

@Spider123

Try a different save file, 64mb works for some people

@bnjzjbmu

Did you use the freeze fix? also, try to load the same save data in desmume

@dojoleo

congrats!!, just remember the C-Gear problem and everything is going to be ok

@Eckin

Nice!!! now we have 3 different cards, R4SDHC, N5 and R4 - III Upgrade

@DeVan [BloodEdge]

wel.... everyone make a back-up please, i hope you can found the save data again if not....

@DuskIzanagi

A different firmware maybe?

@donvsnaruto

try a different save data, remember you need to copy again your save file to the sd because it gets corrupted and cannot be used anymore

Nope, you're using a R4SDHC first generation right?, some people use the 1.25 firmware and it works, other use 1.26, 1.34, in my case this only works with 1.25, thats why i recommend it but try another one if this doesn't work for you

in the rar i don't remember any firmware, here is the 1.25 but in spanish Click here

In the main page of the flashcard you can download the 1.34 version
