Wood Firmwares v1.32

[Another World]

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 4th question:

Q: How has the GBATemp community helped in the development of the Wood Firmwares?
A: Testing. Many bugs were fixed from the 1st Wood R4 release because of them. Also I got some ideas.

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

Core:
• switched to devkitarm r33

Interface:
• animation support added to skins
• wrapping in dialogs tabs

WIFI-update:
• updated to lwip 1.4.0

Compatibility:
• 'kung fu panda 2' fixed
• 'cars 2 (usa)' fixed
• softreset and saving fixed in 'ntr tester'
• 'murder in venice (usa)' fixed
• 'solatorobo - red the hunter (europe)' fixed
• 'one piece - gigant battle! (germany)' fixed

RPG Specific:

Special Thanks to YWG for the update!

Directions:

Add a folder called "frames" inside your skin folder
Put your 16-bit* BMP animation images inside it (order them with numbers for file names ex. 1.bmp, 2.bmp etc.)

*GIMP can convert BMPs to 16-bit for you

Add this to your skin's uisettings.ini: (example)

CODE

[animation]
duration = 1
x = 85
y = 88
show = 1

duration is the speed of the frames
1 is the fastest, 6 is the slowest
x and y is the top left coordinate of the frames on the top screen

Note: I'll make an example animated skin here in a little while, stayed tuned.
The goblin made me a sweet little example skin but it was NSFW so I can't post it.

Holy crap, that was so fast, it's like Yellow Gobin planned it right when that game was dumped lol.

I'd love to see what these animated skins are capable of.
There have been tricks to animate in the past, using the tick of the colon in the clock to switch frames, but a dedicated system for animation would be great.

Here's an animation feature demo skin for the R4DS:
http://www.mediafire.com/?cpqnia5v8zptjl8

Just unzip and drop it in your card's root then switch to the "gbatemp" skin if you haven't already.
You must have upgraded to 1.32 for this to work.

Note: the skin's colors are all weird but this was just a rush job.

Hmmm interesting.
I might go about animating some of my older skins, but I am not promising anything, I am not very good at animating things.

 

[basher11]

horray! thanks ywg

love the support for animations in skins

 

[Snailface]

Correction: Drop the folder in your card's root not on the __rpg file itself.

... and agree to all the file merging/copying etc.
@ RupeeClock-- this is MUCH better

Hi guys, this is kind of OT but someone approached me to install a firmware on his r4 and the label has this site http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/ in it. So I DLed their FW and it worked. Howeve,r all Homebrews won't start and the only way to start a homebrew is through moonshell2.

Would this alternative FW work with that card?

Thanks!

Wood will not work on that card, it only works on R4 (original and 1.1), R4i Gold from http://www.r4ids.cn/ and R4i DSN

 

[relminator]

Dang. I guess he's stuck with that crappy FW then. Thanks!
