[mehrab2603]

this version doesn't work for my cart.getting 2 white screens.
but woodr4 for the original r4 worked very well on my r4sdhc.everything except saving games worked very very well.games that even the r4sdhc firmwares couldn't load,loaded fine.just couldn't save games.

Just rename your saves to nds.sav,it works fine

Please note i know this is not made to work on clones like mine, but i still wanted to let you know it boots up on my r4i gold, i see icons, no text though.

just thought i throw it out there, maybe you can get it working even better ^^

Wood R4 Fixed For R4 Clones!

Download (1.05) First Try this
If the above version doesnt work try:
Wood R4li Version


Note-This only works for R4 clones that are clones of the R4 and not Acekard/DSTT/EZ Flash Clones

Confirmed working on:
R4 SDHC

both versions working on r4sdhc

 

[Damian666]

[rockstar99]

Can you save in your games?

Wood R4li Version

Dose this mean for the R4 i.l.s cards ? , I have one just need to get back my DS to test...

I think... if the created .sav won't be recognized, you can try to boot nds with R4SDHC (to "initialize" save) then return to WoodR4 (a friend of mine reported)

Wood R4li Version

All R4 clones, yes i.l.s is supported

Many thanks , now i know don't throw it in the bin!

I could not even get ysmenu to work on that at the time, the R4 sdhc i.L.S cards only worked with its own kernal from http://www.r4li.com

i think that this doesnt matter here but it boots fine on m3dsreal,but freezes when loading a game

 

[mehrab2603]

ok i tested it again with the new version that is up now.
everything works except saving the game.it loads my soulsilver save but can't save.any solution?

goncalodoom can you save your game?

WOW!!
With a bit of editing we can get this on M3 i think.
Norrmatt also said it wouldnt be so hard

It worked perfectly on my R4III-upgrade. All the saves worked as well after renaming them. Great Work!

 

[drwhojan]

I decryipted the _DS_MENU.dat , and some of the gamesIDs and codes are in there when opened it with hex edit, but some gamesIDs that work are not in there, weard...

 

[Damian666]

aw man, and it can run on that huh? XD

damn, im glad my new card is on its way, damn clones

May I see your approach(aka source code) under GPL?

---
My version (not public) includes:
DLDI-ize
sav is filled with 0xff (even with this, the sav won't work until used with R4SDHC kernel)
autorunWithLastRom feature
the extension is .sav not .nds.sav

But I doubt we can analyze the card commands to boot commercial ROMs
