Hacking simple guide to use wood on R4i b9s

[aos10]

i am switching from supercard DS2 to R4i-B9S which has wood on it
which file system is best for it?

also,i want to know how t :
1- make save stats.
2- open cheat menu and activate and deactivate certain cheats.
3- exit the game and use other game without exiting to 3DS menu.
4- change the save type of the game so i can use my old save files.
i am using R4i-3DS V1.84b files

There is no wood for the r4i b9s from r4i-sdhc.com.

tcm0 is right, but assuming there actually was a port of Wood (or you're getting another flashcard), or for anyone else reading:

which file system is best for it?

The one appropriate for the size of your microSD (SD or SDHC), unless you have picky homebrew

1- make save stats.

Enable soft reset and RTS, start game, press soft reset key combo (default is L+R+A+B+down) (those things can be set as default by pressing start > settings in the file list, or for individual games by pressing Y twice on them)

2- open cheat menu and activate and deactivate certain cheats.

There's no on-the-fly cheat menu, you set them before playing by enabling the cheat engine (again, from global or game's settings) and select the codes by pressing Y then X on a game

3- exit the game and use other game without exiting to 3DS menu.

same as (1) but you don't need the buggy RTS

4- change the save type of the game so i can use my old save files.

You can select the filenames between GAME.nds.sav and GAME.nds from the settings again, I don't know DSTWO but DSONE is directly compatible with Wood, if conversion is needed - http://www.shunyweb.info/convert.php

You can't get wood, but you can get ysmenu which is still pretty great. There's a thread about it somewhere here, I'll look for it.

That's a link on how to get ysmenu.

Only the official kernel and ysmenu. I would suggest you to stay at the DSTWO.
The official kernel is shit (some of the features are buggy, timebomb etc).
YSMenu misses lots of features and looks like shit.

You want a card with RTS and Wood? The r4ids.cn cards (meaning r4i gold 3ds rts or r4i gold 3ds plus) are your best bets then. The latter has a switch to go into NTRBoot mode.

 

[aos10]

No. That is the official kernel.

What about this thread, can i use modded files from it?

i've read "how to install"

Backup your µSD to a Backup folder on your PC BEFORE upgrading to a new Kernel

Format your µSD with the Panasonic SD Formatter 3.1
Use these options :
FORMAT TYPE - FULL (OverWrite)
FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT - ON

DUAL BOOTING :
Download the latest Kernel from your carts website and extract to root of your µSD.
Extract these files from R4i-SDHC YSMenu folder and copy to root of your µSD :

Games folder
TTMenu folder
TTMenu.dat
YSMenu.nds

Boot your carts Kernel, then load YSMenu.nds.

how to i actually boot to cart kernel?

do you know what?
i am going to use @Technicmaster0 's advice
sure DStwo is power hungry, but it's menu is the easiest to use and the faster card to load the roms.

i tried the ys menu from the reddit link, it's not that good, the GW card is far better but it doesn't support save stats, but it least it fit on my 3DS very easy.
