Homebrew Coverflow DS (New project)

[Mantis41]

Not sure if I am doing this right.

I have downloaded Xenon's woodr4sdhc and copied the _rpg directory to the SD card.
I have copied on a few DS games and DS covered latest version to the SD
I have copied Spinal's download from above and renamed it to loader_akaio.nds. I have copied this to the loaders folder in D_System on the SD.

Cover flow works fine but when I go to load a game I get the white loading screen with smiley on the top screen and nothing else

I think WoodR4 has nothing to do with "smiley". DSTT?

Do you have DScovered working with wood on an original R4?

 

[spinal_cord]

It's worth a try...

loader_r4wood.nds

My access to an R4 is rather limited, I just changed the foldername in the akaio loader, so if someone can tell me if it works that would be great.
Remember to use Xenon++ version of r4wood renamed to akmenu.nds

1. You need to also copy the akamenu4.nds and rename it to akmenu.nds
2. You not not need to rename loader_r4wood.nds to anything, just copy it to the d_system folder and select it on the 2nd options screen in DSCovered.

^ This smiley was added to DSCovered and I think the loader_r4.nds, just because I like how good it looks

Ok! i think I get it now. My son has left his DS at school so I will not be able to test it tonight.

So, will it or does it already load from WOOD on an R4??

It does...

Cool, could you point me to where it says how to? Just to have it available when spinal improves dscovered to the point id want to change it from Wood interface

I would say it is already there. What else where you expecting? It already looks pretty slick and runs smoothly.

 

[FTommy]

please add cheats system

What he says.Would make some guys' life easier since some of the AP protection can be evaded by cheats.

 

[Mantis41]

I am still confused .

I have the loader_R4Wood.nds copied to the loaders folder and I have selected it in the settings.

I am using Xenon++ download from here

There are two files in that download.
woodr4sdhc.nds
woodr4_r4li.nds

I have tried renaming each to akmenu.nds and copying to the SD root. So far no dice. All I get is the DScovered loading screen.

I assume that R4_wood does actually work on your card?

Yes, both versions of Xenon's from that download link and the original work fine.
I thought it might be the soft reset but I turned that and the load Hombrew external off and still no good.

I'll have a look at the weekend, see if I can find the problem.

No probs

I thought Xenon said he had it working a few posts up.

He did, but that's using his own loader system. I don't have any problems with anyone using that, but as Xenons wood build works the same way as akaio I figured updating the akaio loader would work just fine. However I rarely get access to an original R4 for testing, so it's hard for me to guess what the current problem is.

Spinal, found the problem. You are still updating the LASTSAVE.INI from the _aio directory instead _rpg.

 

[Xenon++]

Thank you for finding problem. Actually I don't use spinal loader.nds at all, so I'm relieved it is not my fault.

 

[Mario92]

With Xenons ini-things its easier to keep 4 firmwares on card

Ah, ok, fixed - loader_r4wood.nds - give that a try

Works perfectly. Well done. Thanks to Spinal and Xenon.

 

[Mantis41]

Just one small tweak needed to the wood_loader.
Need to clear the Lastsave.ini when running akmenu.nds from DScovered. At the moment when I run akmenu from DScovered it will autorun the last game played instead of dropping into the firmware.

Cheers

I don't remember if I added it, but check if it works properly if you set homebrew to load externally.

Yup. Just me being a tard, works fine. I should have remembered that setting from when you sorted the acekard.
