Hi,

I buied an R4i (Wood compatible, CN Version) from shoptemp.com.
Today I wanted to upgrade from my 1.21 version that I downloaded form r4ids.cn to 1.22 from filetrip.
I just delated everything except my roms folder and but the new files on my sd card.

But wenn try to load wood it stucks on the Loading... screen. Tried 3 different sd cards, same error.
But back 1.21 from r4ids.cn everything works. What I am doing wrong?

IIRC WoodR4i Gold (www.r4ids.cn) has to be complied by the team themselves. YWG gives them the source files and they compile it from there.

So woodr4i will always be a day late. That is why the one 1.21 you downloaded from their homepage works and the 1.21 from filetrip doesn't.

Wait until R4i Gold team compiles it's own woodr4.

Alex658: if this is the case, YWG should clarify his description on the filetrip website. It is misleading, as I too thought I could just drag-n-drop and have a running OS.

well if you do your research, you will find that the r4i gold and the r4idsn use different wood

just read the "READ ME" that is included in every wood r4i firmware
QUOTEimpotant information:
there is a wood r4i gold firmware that is released by R4iDSN team (http://www.r4ids.cn site) since version 1.17. this firmware is produced in
close cooperation between me and the R4iDSN team and gets the same support from me as my other builds.

YWG shouldn't have to hold your hands through everything

This has been said by AW several times I recall..
YWG provides the fixes/source and R4ids.cn team applies them to the firm.
Go ahead and ask Another World. feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. ^^

Wait a bit. you've waited a week or two at most for this fixes another day or two max isn't much

RoMee: I did in fact read the readme. I guess to me it was just unclear that what I was downloading was not meant to be used on my r4i gold. It says that there is another firmware, released by the official team, and that its produced is close cooperation with YWG. Call me a stickler, but it doesn't say anything about the necessity of using the official build with my cn card.

If this is so. Then for which card is the R4iDSN file on filetrip?

Haven't you been reading this at all?

it's not for a card. IT'S FOR THE R4iDSN Team.
They will compile their OWN wood R4 from THOSE files YWG gave them. (the R4iDSN filetrip link)

Hope this answers your question. ^^

I'll make this a simple as I can

-R4idsn and R4i GOLD is the same team
-they have two flash cart
----r4idsn r4idsn.com
----r4i gold r4i gold
-YWG makes wood for the r4idsn and release it with his regular wood r4
----this r4idsn WOOD firmware will work on the r4idsn cart ONLY
-He than send the r4idsn team a copy of the WOOD R4iDSN firmware
-The r4idsn team than port it over to their other flash cart the R4iGOLD and relase it a day later

that is why WOOD for r4i gold, will be release later or tomorrow

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.
