Hacking Wood R4 FAQ.

[twiztidsinz]

And I accidentally had kept 3in1 rumble on when I went to play on my GB emulator when I used to have YSmenu, and now I can't turn it off! What do I do? (I have checked the ROM info thingy, but it doesn't give me an options button so I can go in and change the rumble to off.)Load YSMenu up again and turn it off?

How do I change the time from showing military time to showing the regular time, like 7:00 for 7pm or 7am (am and pm doesn't matter, I know when it's am and when it's pm) instead of like 19:00? It takes me sixteen fricken years to figure out what time it is right now because of military time. Is there like a theme for Wood R4 that either shows regular time or has a friggen analog clock? I like having at least the date and time on the top screen, but when I can't fricken read the time within the first two minutes of looking at it then it's not worth it.Just subtract 12 lol.
15:00 - 12 = 3:00
22:00 - 12 = 10:00

One more thing: This one skin I got on ndsthemes.com (here) has a problem with the menu thing. I can't open it without pressing start. On the default theme, I can open it by touching the word "start". What do I do about that? Get a new skin?

I have the same problem on the skins I make... It's rather annoying.

Also, what's the deal with the skin problem? I go to change it, and have to completely reset my DS for the change to take effect.

Known issue... should be fixed with the next release.

I'm no good with maths. I have to add (while using my fingers as a placeholder) instead of subtract, and it takes too fricken long. I'd rather just have the easy way out.

I admit that I find not having the ability to add and subtract slightly disturbing.

On the press start thing, why not compare the default with what you downloaded from ndsthemes (or made).

Get and Acekard, R4 from Shoptemp, or wait for the people trying to make it work on clones.

 

[basher11]

i suggest just getting an acekard like what Mages4ever but drop the r4.

 

[Mages4ever]

Yeah. I mean, it you wanna be a cheapie, get an R4. Or spend like 8 more dollars and get something more current.

 

[yogamester]

Anyone here can explain to me why Wario DIY lags when it saves anything?
My R4 is the original one, i use a microsd card of 2 gb.

 

[Mages4ever]

Sorry, I don't know.
But that seems like a problem more than just you are facing. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

 

[tk_saturn]

I would hazard a guess it's because the save file is considerably larger than that of most games.

I do believe you are correct... and this is where all the people who claim "Class 2 is good enough for flashcards!!" are shown to be wrong.
Sure a GOOD Class 2 will work without problem, but games with large sav files (which there are admittedly few) slow with Class 2.

[mehrab2603]

r u saying it can load roms, save, and do everything like it's suppose to?

 

[Mages4ever]

If you're talking about the Wood R4 Firmware on an SDHC, then I don't think it works

 

[jurassicplayer]

It probably would be similar to having ysmenu on the m3? Be able to load homebrew, but nothing illegal happening (+1 xD).

 

[Mages4ever]

You can load homebrew on Wood R4 o-o
I think anyways. My BeupLive works o-o

Lol, I was talking about if WoodR4 works on a clone like the R4SDHC. Then again, I think I have read somewhere that ysmenu works on one of the R4SDHC's...although something else about chucking PANDORA first, so it might work fully on a clone.

-edit-
Also, how does one change the icons? (I know enough to take a guess that it has something to do with that folder in the __rpg folder xD, but I don't know much else about it.)
