Wood Firmware v1.07

[jurassicplayer]

Can I express a personal opinion or it's against the rules? I've never bothered anyone about the release of a firmware update, so what's your problem?

Lol its called being light-hearted. He isn't after you or anything (or is he o.0?).

I wasn't really expecting all these sexy DIY fixes. Up until now, I avoided the music maker, fearing my entire .sav would become corrupted, but no longer. So far, all is working well on my little $3 R4 . Thanks Goblin.

I am wondering how to use the savelist.bin from the latest AKAiO Release in Wood ?
Where do I have to put the file in ?

And how can I detect which EZ 3in1 I've got ?
EZ 3in1+ or EZ 3in1 ?

Im so happy that someone still is thinking about my acekard rpg

Since the M3 Simply was very similar to the R4... any chance we could get Wood working on an M3 Simply?

 

[Schicksalsheld]

It works already...

 

[Mr.Mysterio]

Thank you YWG!
Dementium 2 works fine with soft reset on right now.

Oh wow... it does work out of the box on the M3 Simply. This is awesome. Finally a firmware that has updates for the M3 and works easily. Yay! Thanks Wood!

I'll be continuing using 1.05 until it will support patched ROM.

AFAIK none of the AK/Wood firmwares "support patched ROMs".

IIRC, the firmware detects which game is which by analyzing it, and knowing which protections to disable (at which addresses) and which settings to set and crap like that. If the game data has been changed, there's a chance the firmware won't recognize it, so it won't apply these fixes and the patched game won't have it's AP disabled or will have it's save file the wrong size or something.

This is how every firmware for (almost) every card works. Luckily many translation and such patches...
A - Don't touch critical areas of the game or it's ID, and therefore are still detected and modified correctly by the firmware.
B - Patch the AP along with the translation patch.

"Support" doesn't just mean "the firmware runs the game". If a game patch touches something in the game that it shouldn't, it could trigger more issues than were in the original, and the firmware teams don't want to go around cleaning up after every fucking hack on the planet analyzing them to find the problem and applying specific fixes for just that hack... for 500 hacks ontop of all the original games.

Anyone notice somewhat slower loading times for games?

Mine seem to take long for the loading screen to come up and then the game finally load.

You know how when you play a game and then you turn it off...then turn it back on it loads the games folder, yea it doesn't do that anymore...=[, it goes to the "micro sd, slot 2" menu then I have to choose and go through the whole process again...
anyone have an idea on whats wrong?

Other than that it works fine...

Any comments are appreciated!

The more recent AKAIO releases have the long loading bar as well, they said it's because more has to be done during the loading process now than before, on account of new AP in more recently-supported games.

ah ok so it's normal for that to occur then...
but how about the whole initial loading back to games folder when you turn on the ds after playing a game and turning it off?
would that be affected too?

You're the first I've heard of it. Try doing a 100% fresh install of wood and see if that fixes it.
