FIXED!!! Investigating Wood 1.62 NAND save problems

[console]

Interest on this topic. I had Blue Gateway flashcart.

Maybe my SD card is failing, that's true. I've had it for like 9 years across multiple flashcarts.

Let me try to add the padding, since it worked the first time it tried to read a 8KB save without editing (it loaded and played normally), but then the cart stopped reading the SD properly, created some weird inaccesible folder, then I could recover it, but now it doesn't load those same 8KB saves.

This really sounds like you have serious issues with that SD card. Before doing else I highly recommend you to backup any valuable information yo may have in that card (if it is not corrupted already), format it, check if there are damaged sectors with a program like H2testw, and only if the card is healthy, copy everything back.

Tbh, I didn't expect this.

I'm guessing I will try again or just stick to TWL++. I really liked Wood, but changing all my save files to 512KB would take me longer than just autobooting TWL++.

Also Wood is dead, while nds-bootstrap that can run with Twilight menu does keep getting updates. Eventually nds-bootstrap will run more DS games that Wood.

While WOOD is long-dead, it's still my favorite and works with all games. All the games I personally play, anyway.

Considering the only two games this version of Wood doesn't work with is two shovelware games I'd say that's true of basically everyone.

That we know of, the Nintendo DS rivals the PS2 in number of games released for it. Also ports of Wood do not play nice with some homebrew. Does the Lemmings Homebrew work on this one? It works in Wood for the original R4 and clones.

Just tested Lemmings. Works fine.

Cool.

Anyone remembers what is the latest version of official Wood avaliable?

There's a new frontend called akmenu-next, which uses nds-bootstrap while maintaining a Wood aesthetic, and doesn't suffer from this save bug.

Depends on your flashcard but it's either 1.62 or 1.64.

1.62 for original R4 and clones, 1.64 for that specific flashcard that used to be in high demand until decent Wood clones and later Twilight plus ndsbootstrap became a thing.
