Hacking Which Kernel/Wood should I choose?

Moon164 · Mar 21, 2018

I Have a R4 Revolution ( I Think is a Clone ), it's not support MicroSDHC but work fine with my Micro SD ( 2 GB ),

I'm using a kernel that I found on the internet, but many of the games I tested are running Error Code 1, 4 and 5 (good part of the games are not working to be honest and I'm having problems with AltWFC with it)
So ... could anyone recommend a Kernel?

There’s kernels in this link. Under to flashcard sd root

We might be able to help you better if you gave information about the r4 that you got. Can you upload a picture of it's sticker?

Thanks, I'll try to use this

I was using this one: https://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/flashcart-files/download-wood-r4-1-09-f11855.html
but some games like Pokémon SoulSilver would get black screen when I tried to start (and all games with AltWFC patch neither wanted to start)

It's like this one

But I do not think it's original because the sticker is kind of '' crooked ''

good luck. that kernel in those files should work. Do you think the rom could be corrupted?

The Rom works fine on DeSmume so I don't think so, but it's strange that after applying WFCPatcher to ROM it does not work at all in my DS, I can not even start with this wood https://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/flashcart-files/download-wood-r4-1-09-f11855.html

There's a few things you should do.
Format your µSD with the Panasonic SDFormatter
Use these options to format : FORMAT TYPE : FULL (OverWrite). FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT : ON
(Source: Here)
Then download the latest Wood R4 for your card. If your's is the 1:1 clone that you posted, use this version of Wood R4.
https://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/flashcart-files/download-wood-r4-1-62-f32256.html
If that still doesn't work, please post either the URL listed on the cart or an actual picture of the cart itself with the URL visible

A picture is more or less required because many early R4 models don't have an URL on their sticker.

This is exactly what I had done, but for some reason only a few games work, most games do not even want to run... they look like this in the picture

Pokémon SoulSilver, the only game I want to work and does not work in any way, ALL ROMS I tried gave some trouble, the majority is this way as in the image, when it does not stay I try to run but the game gets black screen and nothing happens...

I had managed to play in an old Kernel (which unfortunately I can not remember which one it was) but when I tried to get into AltWFC it crashed, now I do not even want to run it, I Just want to trade my Pokemon

That's my R4

It has the appearance of the original, but as I said I do not think it is original because of the poorly placed sticker, but it does not accept MicroSDs above 2 GB (MicroSDHC)
I have kept it for many years

Sorry for the double post

I was afraid of the problem being in my MP3, My Cell Phone or in my father's cell phone (I tried to use these 3 to transfer the ROMS), almost none of the ROMS of the SoulSilver Pokémon were executed, which was with the normal icon gave black screen...

But one of ROMS without WFC Patcher works without any problems, I have no idea what the problem is here

The Catboy · Mar 22, 2018

WFC patch? Have you tried downloading the clean ROMs and using those?

WFC Patcher, for use AltWFC or Wiimmfi on DS Games ( i want to trade Pokemon )

And yes, but some rooms still don't work, Pokémon SoulSilver USA ( without PT-BR Patch translate ) don't work for example.

I’ve actually not heard of that, I will have to test it out at some point.
Do you have another MicroSD to test with? You do have a 1:1 clone, so Wood R4 should be working just fine.

Unfortunately no, I bought this MicroSD has less than a week, unfortunately in my city it is extremely difficult to find Micro SD 2GB, always give the excuse that they do not manufacture more D:

Online retailers should have 2GB microsd cards.

I do not think AltWFC works with that R4 flashcart, however I have a solution to your problem with patched ROMs. I made a cheat database that has AltWFC cheat codes, basically it functions like the patches do BUT you do not need to patch the ROMs at all. Instead you activate the cheat, boot up the game, set up your settings like usual and then go from there. Newer flashcarts using Wood R4 do not have this issue so patching or using the AltWFC cheats work just fine.

Thanks, I Gonna check this

Moon164 · Mar 28, 2018

I Format my MicroSD 2 GB again, Pokémon Diamond and SoulSilver it's work fine without patch now, but the same games with WFC Patch don't work...

Diamond don't boot up ( it's a DS ICON with ''?'' )
SoulSilver it's got a black screen again, some solution ?

I Don't see my R4 on the list on this ''https://gbatemp.net/threads/deadskullzjrs-flashcart-cheat-databases.488711/'' but i gonna try.
[Edit]

sorry for the silly question, I just need to copy the files to the MicroSD?, I really did not get it right, I did it but nothing happened, except the folders none of the files appear in DS

Read above, "I do not think AltWFC works with that R4 flashcart", which means it probably won't work for you on that flashcart. The reason your R4 isn't listed in that list is because people these days use more up to date flashcarts that are capable of using big cheat files, the original R4 wasn't capable of handling such cheats. You can use the cheats I have uploaded but you will have to remove games from the list manually.

I think I solved the problem, I bought another 2GB Micro SD (one used, it was the only one I could find, the old store I bought the previous one had no more 2GB cards)

I formatted, I spent the games with the AltWFC patch and to my surprise, everyone was with the normal icon and Pokémon SoulSilver FINALLY worked, did not give the problem of getting black screen and only the sound came out this time

Other than the previous video it did not crash when connecting to AltWFC but I can not connect because they give these errors:

But I do not think this is a Kernel / Wood, MicroSD or R4 problem, because this time I already have Friend Code, I believe the problem is just the internet (my WiFi is WPA2 so I used my Smartphone to create a SoftAP with the 3G Network, and 3G from Brazil is by far one of the worst internets I've ever experienced) I think I can solve this problem if I find a way to create a SoftAP WEP by computer or by the mobile phone itself
Thank you all for your patience with my English and for helping me, I really wanted to find a way to reciprocate all of you
