Hacking The Definitive R4DS/M3simply FAQ thread

[faiyez]

OK, so i just deleted 5 of the themes from my R4DS so i only have twelve on there now. So i turn it on, and press select, It is doing the exact same thing. Its just changing from 1 - 8, not 1 - 12 like it should. Its the custom themes that arent working. HELP!

I suggest doing this: cut your folders that have your custom themes and paste elsewhere, then open the kernel and copy all the 12 theme folders on your card.... after that, you copy each of your custom images to each folder on the card so you overwrite the default ones.

Thanks Faiyez, I did that and it works fine now!


Another question:

How do i use the Usrcheat.dat files?

Bit late, seeing as how you fixed it and all, but for future reference, if you have a captial T on the name of the folder (themeXX) then it's not picked up. Was tearing my hair out about that for hours.....

 

[thomasroberts6]

That may have been the problem.....


I dont think i did use capitals...

Thanks for the tip anyway!


Wow! You're Irish!

No problem....

Another question:

What do you mean, if it's about putting to use a usrcheat file that someone else made and shared, then be sure to rename the thing to USRCHEAT.DAT in caps otherwise the R4 will MOST LIKELY not recognize it... the same goes for usrcheat files that you created yourself. You put the file under the sytem folder where the other cheat database is.

Now when a certain game has cheats from the default database AND the usrcheat database also, then in the R4's browser you will see 2 cheat buttons under that game, where the right button corresponds to the usrcheat database.

Thanks, i worked most of the stuff out on my own.

Thanks for the detailed replay anyway :thumb:....

I have so many cheats of japanese named games that i dont or need...

Someone mentioned a japanese language pack... Where do i gt this from?

 

[thomasroberts6]

Hello,


I just bought a 2GB kingston Micro SD card.


And As far as i know, it works.

But on the card, it says 'Japan'.


Willl this work?

 

[AeN0]

Of course. "Japan" shows where the SD card was made.

 

[thomasroberts6]

I know.but i thought that it might be my by Japan, For Japan.

I'm currently borrowing an R4 from a friend, but from what I can see, it's never been updated. Is is possible to update a Chinese/Japanese version to English? I've tried to do it numerous times, but every time I try and boot it up, it gives me some error message with a calendar on the top screen.

The R4 is frequently updated but there's not much to update this time. I think the team are working on the Wii connectivity which may take a little more time than usual. The R4 is generally updated in 6 week increments.

I need to remember a sonnet for my Theatre class. And it's due tomorrow. And I never look at it since I got it.

No matter what I do, it gives me the same stupid error. Is the R4 he let me borrow just not compatible with English, or what? It was in Chinese/Japanese when I got it from him, but as soon as I tried to update it, nothing has worked.
