Hacking RetroGameFan Updates/Releases

My R4igold.cn still doesn't work with this kernal. And the website says no such link exists when I click on it. It works on my sister's DSi (1.4U Firmware) but not mine (1.4.4U Firmware). is there anyway to get my R4igold working on my DSi?

For anyone complaining about Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 freezing in game/saving, IT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR µSD's READ/WRITE RATE NOT PERFORMING FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE GAME. EVEN WITH SOME GOOD QUALITY µSD's (CLASS2), YOU WILL SEE NOTICABLE LAG/SLOW DOWNS. NO AP PATCH OR EXTINFO/INFOLIB/SAVLIB UPDATE CAN FIX THIS.

What Micro SD card class do you recommend I buy?

I'm just worried that the new class of Micro SD card, ie class 10 or class 8 would be incompatible with my old M3i zero or Acekard DS cart, that's call.

About that, can we do a compatibility list of which microSD work perfectly ?

What can we do for this test, when the problem appear, if we can give to people a "SAV" file to go directly in the right time in the game ?

What you think ?

I Have Apacer 4GB Class 6
(old) SanDisk 8GB Class 2
(old) SanDisk 4GB Class 2

Three of them work smoothly on my Flashcart with Pokemon Black 2 / White 2

Is there any chance that you can support R4i Gold Pro from www.r4i-gold.com? There are a lot of people that own this cart including me, but it really lacks of kernel support.

retrogamefan · Oct 11, 2012

@ R4i-SDHC users from www.r4i-sdhc.com
Please note : It has been confirmed that using my update as a primary kernal is currently not working so you will need to DUAL BOOT for the time being ~~but I am looking to try and find a solution~~. A solution has been found and you will be able to use the R4i-SDHC YSMenu folder as primary kernal again in my next update v6.89

@ slatis
I just checked your carts kernal. Yes you can use my v6.88 update. Use the R4i folder and follow the How to Install.txt

Oh man! you're amazing! thank you so much! Everything is working flawlessly now ^^

BTW is there any chance to make Animal Crossing Wild World run in this flashcart? It doesnt matter which release I use, all i got is a white screen.

I have tried the following roms:

Animal Crossing - Wild World (v01) (U)(Independent) (18M)
(Nintendo DS Release #1479)

Animal Crossing - Wild World (U)(SCZ) (18M)
(Nintendo DS Release #0223)

Animal Crossing - Wild World (E)(Legacy) (24M)
(Nintendo DS Release #0389)

mirko97398 · Oct 12, 2012

will you fix the Italian version of Pokemon White 2 on your next ttmenu?
And when?
Thank's for everything

Rezatron · Oct 12, 2012

Retrogamefan I have some info and game incompatibilities regarding some of the cards from www.r4isdhc.com

1. You can add the R4i SDHC Silver RTS Lite to your list of natively working cards. Just add line:

R4i SDHC Silver RTS Lite (not new version) - www.r4isdhc.com -> Rename TTMenu.dat to r4.dat (Use DSTTi-Clone TTMenu folder)

BTW: What's the purpose of "TTMenu.nds" in the DSTTi-Clone TTMenu folder if the card boots natively?

Keep in mind they have a newer model of this card that looks identical to the old one with the exception of a red "new" stripe at the top right hand corner of the sticker (see links below). This "new" model uses a different kernel and I haven't been able to get that one working natively (haven't tried any dual-booting though) but perhaps you should just look at the kernel of that one and i'll test and confirm anything you want.

http://www.r4isdhc.com/download_silver_new/

2. You mentioned some of your new kernels were in BETA and you were right because most of the games that weren't working on the "new" Dual-Core card are still not working (white screens) with your dats. This card actually has very good stock compatibility but the games below are not working (white screens) with the stock dats and your dats (as if your dats have no effect on these games). I'm thinking that "savesize.bin" or "sqpth.bin" are overriding your dats somehow do you know what these files do? Your dats fixed Pokemon Black and White 2 so they DO fix some games just not these ones below.

Strangely all of these games are booting fine on the "old" dual-core card with the exception of the USA and EUR versions of Army Men. Replacing your dats on that card had no effect on both versions of Army Men (still black screens). The kernel for both the "old" and "new" dual-core cards looks exactly the same although they are not interchangeable (old kernel does not work on the new card and vice versa). The only difference between them seems to be a file called "engi.ne2" on the old kernel that is not on the new one and a file called "CardHash.dat" that is on the new one but not the old one. Lastly the file sizes of the "savesize.bin" and "sqpth.bin" are different and not interchangeable between the "old" and "new" kernels.

This problem spans multiple R4 cards and microsds (properly formatted) so it can't be blamed on a faulty card or microsd.

Squall Leonhart · Oct 12, 2012

BTW: What's the purpose of "TTMenu.nds" in the DSTTi-Clone TTMenu folder if the card boots natively?

you can boot back and forth between kernels in this manner.

its how i have ttmenu as the default (as r4.dat as well as ttmenu.dat/nds) and the cards native kernel as well as ysmenu and boot between them.

ziocarlone · Oct 12, 2012

I'm having many problems. When I installed v6.87 and then v6.88 on my n5 they worked well, but after a replacement of files in the microSD it doesn't work. I tried formatting a lot of times but there was no change. I can't understand if there is a problem on my n5 or on my microSD, the only thing I noticed is that this problem comes after changin' files on the microSD...

EDIT: It's not a microSD problem: I tried with another microSD that I have in my house... Same wonderful white screens.

Clydefrosch · Oct 12, 2012

i have to ask, why does the dstt menu look so terrible?

i mean, it was bad in earlier releases already, with the font color being the same as the background that came with it, but now its all dark and glitchy (for the r4i-sdhc.com compatible version at least)
i have no idea how to change that.

some_guy · Oct 12, 2012

Has anyone actually got this to work fully with R4i SDHC? I can get the game to load but it won't save. A lot of other people are having the same problem and switching the SD card makes the game run very slow.

renes2 · Oct 13, 2012

So i Got an DSTT (with R4 SDHC logo) and tried to play Pokemon Black 2 (D)

I'm Using DSTT/i Clone TT Menu, NOT YS menu, and i Got Error-4.

errcode=-4 : Caused by not having the required loading data for that particular DS Normal game in infolib.

Does that mean i need to wait for an Update?

Thx and best regards

Dubstep16 · Oct 13, 2012
