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)
1.jpg

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)

3.- Now use the IPS patcher for the Experience AP (Included on Download link)

Use the correct IPS patcher corresponding on your version (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.

5.- Copy everything that is on The *SD* folder to the root of your microSD.

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
21.jpg
22.jpg


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
23.jpg


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.

20.- Press (Y) twice and change the save type from 512kb back to *unknown/auto* then press (A) to save.

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

*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.

went from WIAO to WOODR4DLDI
booted the rom the first time with unknown/auto and with reset and cheats off, saved
turned it off,
rebooted,
went again back into WIAO and WOODR4DLDI
changed unknown/auto to 512k, saved
WHITE SCREEN

I still have 2 major issues, firstly when I try to patch my ROM with the EXP fix it doesn't detect my ROM, and secondly I have no idea how to access my RAM folder.

The hell with it, I'll just wait another week for a universal patch and perhaps some translation.

Edit: Changed firmware and still nothing u_u. What can I do? It just freezes and I cant continue u_u.

What I did for the EXP Patch to detect my rom was... change the options of "Most common Rom files" to "All files", and it patched without problems.

dont u just change the extension to .sav?

There's no extension at the end of mine.


Try this if you're using windows XP

http://www.fileinfo.com/help/windows-show-extensions.html

Vista

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows...name-extensions

Windows 7

http://askabouttech.com/how-to-show-file-e...n-in-windows-7/

This is only for the file extensions

For the save converter just drag your save from desmume and drop onto r4saveconverter.exe, after that just press enter and change the file extension to .sav

As about 4 other members I am also having problems when reaching step 12.

Instead of the game freezing to 2 white screens it goes to two black screens with 'Loading' written on the bottom in yellow. I have tested other games and the same thing happens to so it's not the ROM.

Help would be much appriciated as you seemed to have missed the last guy who had the same problems post.

what firmware are you using?, is a R4SDHC?

Aurionfox, can you help me? =/

Ok here is your problem, looks like WAIO works fine for you, you can start the game but now the problem is the save file, for some reason we cannot create a save file and start from the begining, thats why we need a save file from desmume

Try this save files i created

Save files

JUST copy to your SD and give the same name as your rom, set your save type to unknown/auto and don't move anything else (reset and cheats must be always off), when star the game you should see the save game and start right before you choose your first pokemon, try it and most important save it

I just tried that with the auto/unknown settings and I just get a white screen T_T. It seems the only way I can play is with the 512 K setting, but when I turn it off the save is deleted u_u. Do you know why I cant play? I have R4SDHC but that doesnt work u_u.
