Thanks sonictopfan for the firmware.But there is only one problem.Moonshell doesnt work on it.Other thn that its superb.Thanks!!!
sorry about that, i deleted the Moonshell folder to save space!
edit: I just noticed something, in Mario and Sonic Winter Games, using YSMenu with these files the game won't crash when you reach Icepeak, however you have to save and exit before continuing otherwise it may crash after a while, i'll post that in Mario and Sonic Olympic Games page!
Edit 2: this is a better version
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OVND2ERA it now fixes Sonic Classic Collection too!
Edit 3: a new firmware for R4 users is available here
http://filetrip.net/f10251-Wood-R4-1-04.html
This new firmware "Wood R4 v1.04" is based on the AK2 firmware, it now runs Sonic and Sega All-stars Racing and Sonic Classic Collection on a normal R4 without the need for YSMenu, however it doesn't fix the hang on Icepeak in Mario and Sonic Winter Games!
i've tested it and it runs all these games, support online play, and loads the sav filed "but you have to change the name from GAME.SAV to GAME.NDS.SAV" or simply use this tool which makes it easier and faster

Unfortunately there is no way to use cheat codes here "at least not that i know of" except to use YSMenu, however this new firmware is much faster in running the games!
For noobs who can't use it, here's another link i uploaded to megaupload

P.S to change skin, use an AK2 skin, place it in ui folder, then in the main menu go to settings, and choose the skin you like!
