I'm not 100% sure how you install it, but I'm pretty sure you just drag and drop the files to the root of the micro SD card and replace the ones already there.

If you have an original r4 Wood R4 will be the best firmware you'll have access to. The original R4 team stopped supproting their flashcart because of some issues they had, but YWG keeps develloping firmware to support R4. Just google Wood R4 1.19 and you should get the download link. If you want to keep your old firmware, there's a thread here on the forums to installing Wood R4 as an alternate OS.

The root of your card means its main directory, the one you first see when you explore it. Now if you don't know what a directory is, it's back to computer basics 101 for you...

Your nds files are probably not winrar, as you say. More than likely, you're just confused because the icon displayed is not what you're expecting, or they are actually still in an archive. To make things easier for you, try to show the file extensions in windows. Then you'll know exactly what is what just by looking at the file extension (the 3 caracters after the .) In Windows XP, while viewing a directory, click:

Tools > Folder Options > View. Then remove the check mark on the option "Hide extensions for known file types". Apply, OK, OK. And you're done.

On other Windows, I'm sure it's very similar. Try to figure it out. Folder Options are also in the Control Panel.

About your main question, make sure you have a real R4 card first, before trying to install Wood on it. Remember a real R4 cannot use a SDHC card (anything bigger than 2GB).

Good luck!

Are you getting this "Please reset system" error with and without the R4 card inserted in the DS? If it's only with the R4 card, you just need to fix up your R4 SD card. Format it first (Panasonic SD formatter) and then install Wood or whatever is appropriate. If you get the error without the R4 card inserted, and you've already tried removing the battery to reset, this is more serious. Hardware failure?

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
