Unzip Wood R4 plugin to /_dstwoplug/ after downloading.
Download and copy Wood R4 to the root of your micro SD card.

And this will work even with the latest version of wood ?
Thanks for your answers and patience

Using this plugin Is like a dual boot firmware ?
guys i have an old n5 (original R4 clone only 2gb size) and today i managed to boot directly into the latest wood r4 by decrypting _DS_DMENU.DAT using r4crypt, you need the RPG folder, the _DS_MENU.DAT decrypted and _AX_MENU.dat to boot the firmware, here are my files just in case someone needs to update their N5 (ive used this for years and havent bricked or blown a fuse, i know N5 isnt safe, using the wood firmware might be safer)

Hi, I tested this on my own N5, and it's booting. Though games don't seem to load. The N5 not being safe isn't a kernel issue, I was told it's a hardware one, so while the kernel doesn't matter, at least I can mess with this.
How much of the compatibility have you tested on this? Were there any modifications to the _AX_MENU.dat compared to the original?

The filetrip Links are dead. I have an R4 Gold Pro SDHC. What do I do to find the latest proper Wood firmware version.
Everything on Filetrip was archived on the Wayback Machine. For the links in the OP:
Wood R4 (.NDS) v1.62 Wood R4iDSN (.NDS) v1.62 Wood R4iDS Gold (.NDS) v1.64It sounds like you card probably can't run the official Wood though. What's the website and year? (assuming it's one of those cards)
If it's r4isdhc.com 2014-2021 then you'll want YSMenu, if it's r4isdhc.hk 2020+ or r4isdhc.com.cn then you'll want the Ace3DS+ Wood. If it's something else then a picture of the card would help, or just look for it's website on YSMenu or the flashcard-archive.
If you still require them since the archives do not allow you to actually download it, i will soon re-upload all NDS files in 1 repacked zip

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
