Pokemon White & Black Fully functional Tutorial.

UPDATE: INDEED, The US GAMES WORK, BUT YOU HAVE TO PATCH IT DIFFERENTLY, ONCE PATCHED JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AS IF THEY WHERE THE JP VERSIONS.

OK, for the past two days people been struggling for making Pokemon White/Back functional on their R4 SDHC.
Today, with a special thanks to Aurionfox, and anyone else who contribited to this finding, i will be posting this tutorial with the means of helping those who haven't had any luck booting eather Pokemon White/Black on their R4 SDHC.

First of all *links to ROMS are not allowed* so don't ask.

Things you will need
1.- Pokemon Black/White rom. (Don't ask, Google is your friend).
2.- Rudolph patch for the freezes.
3.- Lunar Ips for Exp fix.
4.- Desmume emulator.
5.- PC and R4SDHC.
6.- Official kernel 1.34
7.- microSD (2g recommended) (Anything greater than 2g gave me problems, feel free to try)

First this works with a R4SDHC, but if you have another one feel free to try it. (R4SDHC Only tested)

Download bellow (it has everything you need)

1.- Get a clean pokemon white or black rom (Dont't ask)

2.- Extract the contents of Pokemon Fix R4SDHC and First use the *Patch Black Fix* or *Patch White Fix* this is for Freezes. (included on Download link)

Patch the version you want using the corresponding Patch.(In this case pokemon Black)

4.- Once patched start the games using Desmume emulator, Start the Patched rom you created and save before you get your PKMN, Once you save you can close the emulator.

15.- Boot your rom, this time it will work. Play a little bit and then save. If you boot your rom again and try to load it will erase your save file. (a blue screen with letters will show). If that shows you did it right.

16.- Now Go on your PC and connect yor microSD and find your save and erase it.

17.- Now find your RAM folder in the emulator, it should have a *ROMNAME*.dsv

18.- Now copy *ROMNAME*.dsv to the same folder you have your room on your microSD and change the file extension from .dsv to .sav

If for some reason when you load the .sav file on your R4 SDHC and it gives you a black screen, try using R4 Save Converter.

Or try this save and see if it works for you. Created by Aurionfox.

And if that doesn't work try putting 64M instead of auto/uknown. Some people claimed it worked for them.

If you did it right, it should boot and you will be able to save, gain EXP and no freezes. Enjoy

R4-III Upgrade

*NOTE*Note to anyone finding their character frozen when loading their save: When loading your game you'll be asked a question, select the bottom answer and then the first one. This turns off the C-Gear, if it's on you'll be unable to move.
Example:
Press No, then yes.

This is what am using it a R4 SDHC. Here are some images so you guys can see it.

EDIT
I got Bored of the games all ready they are to short after beating the elite4
 
Hmm, the save from my Desmume worked! I've been playing before in Desmume. I don't know if saving freezes, let me try.

No, it don't freeze. You all can use the save, but you need to use this Desmume to it work: download here.

@edit
This is hard, now when I try to conect to Wi-Fi it freezes. lol.

I think we should wait for US version and a Global Patch.

....Just when I was about to admit defeat and post here that nothing would work, I tried something else and it actually worked.

I did everything that said in the tutorial, however, I got white screens at the end of the tutorial (with the ROM save on auto/unknown). However, I decided to change the settings of save to 64 MB (because someone mentioned it and I got freezing issues on the speech) and tried again. No white screens and the ROM save was there. Saved again, no freezes and exp obtained. I guess I just needed to switch ROMS and save capacity......

Thanks everyone for the support =D

whaat? lol cant believe that xD yourluck~
i did it with the otherrom i was using but i got the blue screen =[
 
OMG O_O IT WOOORKS *O*
So, this is it Guys, instead of using the unknow/auto configuration use 64MB with the save file you converted from .dsv to .sav ^^T
THANX EVERYONE~ *0*
 
So yeah, I changed it to 64M and turned off C-Gear. It booted and my frozen character didn't freeze!
Thank you ever so much! ^^v
I'll post back if anything happens. Thankx guys!
 
on black, it freezes when the prof. starts to speak, and on white, when the welcome speech finishes and the screen turns black, it remains black 4 unknown reasons... please, help...

tried everything... i get stopped on step 15, but, as not as the others, i can't watch the "spring" message... no problems on araragi's speech, but, when that ends, it turns black and freezes... TT_TT
 
Hmm...well, I have been sitting here waiting for about 5 minutes and the black screen top/loading screen bottom hasn't changed over to the white screens yet. I have followed the instructions step by step. Any suggestions at this point? Too lazy to look through 15 pages of posts to try and find info. xD
 
when i put the save from the emulator in the R4 i boot waio.nds, then woodr4dldi.nds & finally pokemon white but it never shows me the save
frown.gif
so i start new game and frezee when i select my gender, actually i try to load other games with this way & i cant load my other savefiles, but when i load them on my original firmware I CAN LOAD MY SAVES
frown.gif
wath im doing bad? ):

sorry for my bad english im mexican
biggrin.gif
 
I'd like to add some explanations.
Although I don't know why "loading from waio" is required, but why woodr4dldi cannot read save is because the sav created on Wood is always fragmented. woodr4dldi requires the sav is defragmented, so you can just move the sav to PC then copy to SD back. Windows seems to have clever writing algorithm to avoid fragmentation in copying.
 
... *sob* why am i the only one that can't see the f$%&*ng Spring?!?! i just made everything to step 15 so far so good, but, 'cause i can't go playing because I CAN'T EVEN WATCH THE CRAPPY SPRING, this thing is almost USELESS FOR ME!!!!!

(sorry for the big words... i'm really upset right now...)
PLEASE!! you guys here on gbatemp are my only hope!! please, i do wanna play pokemon black or pokemon white as so as you, guys!!

take this, crappy flashcard!
