Wood Firmwares v1.62, Update

[Another World]

In an age when Slot-1 Flash Kits are coming to an end, it is always nice to see an update for the card that brought so many into this hobby. Wood v1.62 is a small compatibility update, that features R4i specific RTS fixes. Let's update our YWG supported cards and get back to gaming!

Important Distinction
Now, there are so many fake Wood R4 versions which have nothing to do with me. Only Wood R4 for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com), and AK RPG are supported by me. I can only fix bugs for these specific releases. Do not post bug reports or ask for updates for clone cards running a fake version of Wood.

Compatibility:

• 'smurfs 2, the (europe)' fixed.
• 'smurfs 2, the (usa)' fixed.

R4i Specific:

• fixed sound restoring in many games.
• fixed bug that cause freeze after leaving rts menu in following games:
  • disney friends
  • simpsons game, the

Hey, could someone please tell me if does it works on 3ds?

I get some flashing in Doctor Who EU with 1.62 on r4i gold with dsi at 1.45. Is this normal?

Old newbie here... Will the Wood R4 v1.62 firmware work on my old M3 DS Simply?

If not, what do you suggest for the newest firmware for that card?

Thank you!!

Went ahead and took the leap, seems to work great!!

However, seems my old .sav files don't work on the new firmware, do I need to rename them? or is there a converter? or am I out of luck?

Again, thank you!!

Found the answer to my save file issue too! For others that might be looking, the file needs to be renamed from xxxxxxx.SAV to xxxxxxx.nds.sav .

Thank you again, sorry for the multiple edits.

Found the answer to my save file issue too! For others that might be looking, the file needs to be renamed from xxxxxxx.SAV to xxxxxxx.nds.sav .

Wood is also able to read .sav files, ther is an option to change the type of the save file,
but since your files were in .SAV with caps lock I don't know if it would work.

Ancient thread I know...

But is there any chance of adding the ability to auto-boot a .nds file specified in the .ini file?

This would allow the creation of 3DS homebrew that could modify the said .ini file and boot the flashcard directly to the selected game.

Also, any chance of releasing the source code?
