Wood Firmwares v1.30

Wood Firmwares v1.30
Update

For the next few releases I will post questions and answers from a very short interview with the Yellow Wood Goblin. The questions are simple, sometimes have 2-3 word answers, focus on the firmware itself, but also aim to provide a tiny bit of insight while asking what the Goblin’s favorite games/homebrews are.

Without further ado, our 2nd question:

Q: Why did you decide to port the Wood Firmware (for the Acekard RPG) to the R4 Flash Kit?
A: Main reason was to show that support is a most important thing for Flash Kit.

Please feel free to discuss the firmware update as well as the interview in this news thread.

Core:
• some parts of ui rewritten.
• softreset updated.

Interface:
• czech translation added.
• fixed trash at screen then language option in language file is set to wrong value.

Compatibility:
• 'battle & get! pokemon typing ds (japan)' fixed.
• 'petz - catz playground (usa)' fixed.
• 'minna to kimi no piramekino! (japan)' fixed.
• 'pocket monsters - white (korea)' fixed.
• 'pocket monsters - black (korea)' fixed.
• bug that caused very rare freeze in 'final fantasy iii' fixed.
• 'sports collection (usa)' fixed.
• 'murder in venice (europe)' fixed.
• 'pucca power up (europe)' fixed.
• 'dragon quest vi - realms of revelation (europe)' fixed.

Special Thanks to YWG for the update!

The best feature of this Wood version: Controversy free!

 

[RoMee]

Thanks YWG you made my niece very happy.


cool, an extra readme?

 

[sweenish]

still not letting gabaroos have the source as promised so that m3 carts can benefit. i've actually stopped playing my ds.

sakura (all official firmwares for that matter) is dead, and the other alternates are far inferior.

i'm mostly kicking myself for getting an m3i0, but partially annoyed here as well. it's fine to protect your work, but gabaroos was promised access to the source so that he could continue to release wood builds compatible with team m3 carts.

 

[Sora de Eclaune]

In reference to the Pokemon Typing DS fix, does it fix the not loading, the keyboard synching, or both?

Maybe it's the reason ywg doesn't want to release the sources.

Do not discuss it here.
Let's just talk about wood

Well ... we are talking about wood sources.

Anyway, it's not my concern, so i won't argue anymore here, don't worry.

 

[RupeeClock]

Dayum, Dragon Quest VI was only scene released a few hours ago, maybe around half a day?
YWG is on the ball.

 

[Another World]

i'll post this once and any further discussion about this topic in this thread will be moderated as off-topic.

Finally all proofs collected

1. About gpl. As in any other license only copyright holder can claim about license violation. Any 3rd party person may only notify copyright holder.
2. About acekard original sources and MIT license violation:
CODEFrom: AceKard
Date: Sat, 7 May 2011 23:35:03 +0800

It's OK for us if you did not put the license in your distributions. But
we hope you can add it in the future.
3. About binaries on filetrip.net... THEY DON'T HAVE ANY LICENSE.

everyone else who ported wood was obligated to release their source and they have not done this. this includes cyclops who used a few things from wood rpg sources (yes we have proof). because none of these people released their source, ywg has (for now) decided to make the project closed source. he has violated nothing and all future releases include an extra read me (as per the request of acekard).

Spoiler: contents of the readme

1. FAQ

1.1. wood firmware supports only clean decrypted or encrypted roms. check you rom using no-intro.org nintendo ds dat before reporting bugs.
1.2. any bugreport must contain save file (except case then problem happens not far from start) and detailed description how reproduce problem. "game 'xxx' sometimes freezes" is not bug report.
1.3. i only have 3in1 expansion. so no support for 3in1+, ewin or any other expansion.

[Inazuma Eleven]

woohoo another wood firmware!

 

[Rydian]

I'm fine with this conclusion because it means we're not going to remove WoodTT (or the other derivatives) either since they're in the same situation (GPL but author cannot violate it).

It's kinda' funny that 1.30 is released the same day that the R4i Gold review using 1.28/1.29b is finally finished. Waiting for the R4i Gold port to see if the softreset fix affects homebrew as well.

 

[Dreamersoy]

Thanks!

Waiting gold version

 

[pilladoll]

Thank you, YWG!!!!!!

[tranfeer]

WOOD R4 V1.30 for R4ids gold(r4ids.cn) has been released at www.r4ids.cn

 

[Elnef]

Thanks.

More life for my R4.

 

[shakirmoledina]

i remember the first time this firmware was released that when asked why did u release so, he said why not?... two different answers based on the situation
its funny we talk legality of using firmwares and sources codes (even snippets) and we forget how "legal" flashcarts themselves are
BUT i am gonna support my African bro!

Here's a quick question... does a person have to have the game to release a fix for it? rydian? AW? fast?

 

[basher11]

horray for pokemon typing fixed! thanks ywg!
