1st about hidden files mentioned before me...
Use OS to set files/folders to hidden and then show/hide hidden if needed from wood firmwares. It would be nice if a hidden tickbox could be added to wood file properties but I can hide files/folders perfectly right now.
This sounds like a very nice update, could be my favorite wood release to date...wood firmware are too good!
I was actually gonna ask ywg if crc checking was possible for reasons mentioned and its been added before I could even request it. I'm more impressed with this firmware each update..i luv it.
Im gonna load this onto my rpg asap but if i understand, we can have icons (scaled down) in file list view? This is what I always wanted.
Nice one for updating the RPG bypass protection too! Im using my RPG/DSL cause I updated my DSi like a fool and cannot use r4igold right now.. again. i dunno sometimes.
ywg, please could I suggest things for future..
(if ever possible and u agree with ideas, have time etc)
1. add "favorites" to the x button on woodrpg so its Nand/SD/Favorites that would be nice, now it switches between SD/Nand only.
2. autoload last rom update.
I wondered can wood skip loading the Menu/GUI
(if B not held) and just boot straight into loading the game bit?
(might be possible to improve bootup speed a tiny bit if the GUI isn't loaded unless its used?, wood stealth mode )
Could 3in1 .gba also autoload..is this actually possible?
3. Couple ideas on interface.
After updating and using the new "small icons" style which i think is very nice
(and I'm gonna use now...)
i. option to switch to "small icons" style but keep Old School filenames and lose the file extension? An option inside the globalsettings.ini "Small Icons Type = 0/1" (Internal/OldSchool)?
ii. I cannot see some rom names when I use small icons style because the text runs off screen. Could the text autoscroll when the title is highlighted...dunno if this is possible but assume its hard work.
iii. animation support with the small icons style?
iv. user setting for small icons size e.g instead of 8 (default), I could set it to show 10 but with smaller icons to fit? It would be the best of both worlds (OldSchool and Modern, form and function).
Please excuse me if it sounds ungrateful me asking for some more so many new features, I appreciate it must be a lot of work on this firmware and most users can tell by how pro it is. I'll speak for everyone when i say seriously your wood firmwares are appreciated, if my requests are no good thats ok. Grateful that i have rpg and real good r4igold firmware at all
4. my biggest wish i think.
Type of slot2 check at startup and reset.. hide slot2 if nothing detected
(no 3in1NOR or GBA cart) or if running wood on DSi
(like the akaio feature). Show slot2 if check detects 3in1NOR contains .gba or Slot2 contains GBA cart)[/i].
GBA loading would still function from wood as it does now even if slot2 is hidden because we always start with .gba on mSD. I never select slot2 because it serves no purpose most of the time only if i wanna play a real gba game/cart or have a .gba in NOR... so if this check could work the interface functionality i think would be improved. I could be wrong i know.
When .gba is loaded into NOR, a slot2 check after it completes the write could detect 3in1NOR and "show slot2". This would be to allow the user to boot straight after writing without resetting the DS
(or option in globalsettings to autoboot gba after .gba is written into NOR).
I always turn DS off if changing slot2 and was thinking this would probably be quite a natural improvement to wood firmwares. I cannot find anything that would conflict with this change either, no drawback.
5. WiFi update.
Does it work if any of the files to be updated are read-only (I don't think it does but not 100%, have not tried with latest updater)
Could it be updated to replace files and update even if files that will be replaced are read-only? "Are you sure yes/no?" before if it replaces the read-only files. This is last as i don't see many needing this but thought I'd just mention it.
Right thats a massive list now but its all my ideas I think I have had about wood firmwares,
ywg thank you very much once again for the latest and all previous wood updates. superb
