Hacking 1.14 problems?

[monopoman]

Has anyone else experienced problems with the EZ Flash 3in1 and the new R4 kernel?

I normally could easily transfer my gba games into NDS mode then use the R4 to transfer directly.

Now with version 1.14 I get an error and when I went back to version 1.13 I didn't.

I am a bit peeved that I seem to need 1.13 for GBA games but need 1.14 if I want to play through FF IV DS.

Could give a bit more information?

I recently got my R4 and I`m loving the simplicity, but it freezes on me randomly. I close the lid and open it up and it`ll be frozen, or it`ll just freeze mid game. Also, on on restart, the DS said there was no cartidge. So I took out the R4 and put it back in and it worked fine.

monopoman:
Its all well and good you get an error... mind sharing what the error actually is?

Cliffius:
your problem can likely be related to bumping the unit (the snap when the lid closes) or actually touching the R4 whilst playing. Cleaning the contacts (TF/R4) and/or padding with a layer of semi thin tape on the case opposite the side with the contacts will likely solve the problem. Mine did the same thing until I removed the spring from the TF slot.

cory, thanks, will try the tape thing. but my r4 doesn't have a spring. will that make a difference?

1.14 works fine with my 3-in-1 using Rudolphs 3-in-1 Tool.

Do you even bother updating ?! ... I am on 1.11 or something O.o only on the big updates I update

Well if you don't like the latest games like Tales of Innocence or Final Fantasy IV.

Then you don't need version 1.14 or something.

Anyways the error I get is Error in Fat Init!

Like I said this is only because of version 1.14 cause it works 100% of the time with 1.13.

I am using GBATA to SRAM patch if needed. Then using NDStation to convert the file to NDS from GBA.

I am just curious if anyone else has the same problem with 1.14 and the method I use.

No, I get the same error on it using 1.14; I switched to Rudolphs anyway.

Reformat your MicroSD. I'm pretty sure that will solve your problem.
(And redownload the Firmware and place it on the MicroSD first.)

Actually I tried a multitude of fixes the only one that worked was downgrading to version 1.13.

Including the exact fix you just said..
