I have noticed a minor bug with Wood R4 v1.37 filelist display. The last line of the list (picture) only displays the icon in small icon mode when switched to it from Internal mode (with select button) and scrolled through the list vertically. Bug does not appear when Small icons mode is selected from Wood R4 configuration menu.

Additional info: Tested on R4 Revolution (www.r4ds.com) with Wood R4 v1.37, Kingston SD-C02G Japan.

I tried upgrading the firmware, but there was no WOOD R4 File, just DSMenu.dat, and when I put the files on my R4i gold 3ds (r4ids.cn) It was stuck on the loading screen. Also, Kirby Mass attack will not work until I have 1.37, So I would appreciate a swift answer

jrk190:
Be sure your card is released by r4ids.cn and the website on the sticker of your card is www.r4ids.cn
Please send mails to [email protected] to request this bug.
Besides, Kirby Mass attack works well on my r4i gold 3ds(r4ids.cn).

The GBA loading hasn't been working for me for the last few versions on the R4iGold (Non3DS)...
http://gbatemp.net/t...th-3in1-broken/ I have made a topic about this.
Does anybody else use wood and r4igold with 3in1? The main problem with wood versions on r4igold hardware is gba loading.
I have .GBA(s) which using my rpg am able to load from wood but on r4igold I press A to load a game and nothing happens at all. Wood doesn't load the game.

I have reported this to the team twice but I'm not sure they understood what I it is I'm reporting. Can anyone help and confirm it works for them or not etc, maybe report their findings to the team too. I need help..really miss gba compatibility with 3in1.

I noticed something else but which might just be a small bug.
When using the online update feature on woodrpg, the bytes counter always gets stuck at about 1756, 1757 etc bytes. There is no problem and it still completes the update but on the r4igold the bytes count until the download completes.

Okay, i've been using wood R4 for more then a year and I have never experienced any problems until now.
The only problem i'm having is in Kingdom hearts Re:coded.
In Riku's datascape when i go into the 1st and 2nd glitch portals (or whatever they are called) i get through the 1st two areas just fine but when i get to the 3rd it freezes when the block snake pulls itself together. This forces me to temporarily use my brothers Acekard 2i to get past it. Which others may not have the ability of doing.

-snip-
And here are my 2 saves:
1st: i'm standing on the 1st glitch portal, that freezes in the 3rd area http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FS0V8TR0
2nd: i'm standing over the 2nd glitch portal that also freezes in the 3rd area http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GMW5842S

Thanks!

P.S. i'm using the latest Wood R4 v1.39

wood readme.txt said:
1.2.1. In wood 1.33 introduced crc32 calculation feature. Any bugreport about problem with games without crc32 ignored now.
anyway.

this description assume that I familiar with kh:recoded game. but this is not true. Anyway, I finished portal from 1st save, killed block snake — everything fine.

Just curious, on previous versions of Wood R4 (1.34 and before), game loading would work on the R4iTT. Basically, we decrypted ds menu and renamed it and we could play games on it. But as of 1.35 and beyond every game that we load white screens. Is this change intentional?

Retro Game Fan kernel is a great replacement for your official firmware/kernel. go here. :D

Gambia, The
*The bug has been fixed* no more deleted microSD cards.

Sorry, my english is not very good. BUT:

There are a HEAVY Bug in the 1.40 Wood Firmware!
I'll try to explain the circumstances:

The new spongebob flash is safe. There is _not_ the problem. You can flash your R4iDSN safely (please _only_ the R4iDSN. not the Gold. a flash update for gold is in production)
The REALY problem:
The WOOD 1.40 Firmware.
Please DON'T Update to Wood 1.40. Whatever you use, DONT Update! Not with DSN, NOT with Gold.

The Bug in this WOOD Version:
Your microSD card will be delete, when you start a NDS File, that use other files (SAV, or homebrew). I've tested:

First fact:
You can safely start ".nds" files, there are NOT use other files. for example the new spongebob flash.
After this flash, my microSD Card was untouched.

BUT:
second fact:
When you start a NDS Game, your microSD Card will be deleted immediately!!

Example:
I start Mario Kart DS (trimmed, SAV File aviable).
I hear "wrm wrm here we go!".
Then, the first "mistake": The Main Menu Picture in the Top Screen is "normal". not the "You finished the game" Picture.
Then I tried to drive a Grand Prix. no problem! The game load correctly the data from the microSD card it seems (wie es scheint, lädt die microSD Karte problemlos die ROM Dateien).
and then, i turn off and on the Nintendo DSi.
The new spongebob icon show up, all correctly.
And now i start the R4iDSN.
Oh whats that? The R4iDSN freeze in the loading screen...
I turn of my DSi, and put the microSD Card into the PC.
Oh whats that?


the microSD card is crashed. (The Wood 1.40 is the guilty. _not_ the new spongebob flash!)
all NDS files, alle sav files, all gone.

please note:
- DONT UPDATE YOUR WOOD TO 1.40!! DONT DO THIS!

compact facts of my post:

- R4iDSN _flash_ (new spongebob): SAFE
- R4iGold _flash_ (new spongebob): SAFE
- R4iDSN _Firmware_ WOOD 1.40: DANGEROUS! absolutely NOT safe!! (it will delete your microSD card!) *fixed*
- R4iGold _Firmware_ WOOD 1.40: DANGEROUS! absolutely NOT safe!! (it will delete your microSD card!) *fixed*

Remember:
(The Wood 1.40 is the guilty. _not_ the new spongebob flash!)

So.I hope I was able to explain the circumstances of course, despite my lousy english.

mfg, yours sincerely

Timmy99, die gelbe Ratte, the yellow rat

*The bug has been fixed* no more deleted microSD cards.

Hello!

I have R4iDSN non-3ds with the Japanese Spounge Bob as an icon.

I downloaded Wood R4iDSN 1.40 (not the 1.40b) and it works fine till now (I am saving the games perfectly and there is no erasure problem). Even so, I am afraid that it does erase my microSD someday.

In my case Wood 1.40b does not work. Wood loads, but when I try to load any game, it shows a white screen and it freezes.

I have noticed that there are 2 versions of Wood for R4iDSN since Wood 1.39.
The version available in FileTrip and the version in www.r4idsn.com are different.

For instance, when I enter Wood availabe in FileTrip (version 1.39 and 1.40) and go to START -> HELP it shows:
wood akmenu 1.40 (or 1.39) HW: 80
It works perfectly in my R4iDSN non-3ds.

when I enter Wood availabe in www.r4idsn.com (version 1.39 and 1.40) and go to START -> HELP it shows:
wood akmenu 1.40 (or 1.39)
HW: r4idsn.com
This Wood does not work. The games freeze with a white screen.

The problem is that, for version 1.40b, FileTrip has the same version as www.r4idsn.com, that is, when I go to START -> HELP it shows
wood akmenu 1.40
HW: r4idsn.com
It does not work.

Does anyone know where I can download version 1.40b with the specification below?
wood akmenu 1.40 HW: 80

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,
Amaro999

1.40 from filetrip uploaded by another world doesn't erase anything.
