Hacking Wood R4 Suggestions

[Lumnous]

Built in video player such as moonshell, when the video is played it goes into a frame on the top screen with options for the bottom. in which if you decide to close it, it shows your menu like you never left.

A simple thing that would be a lot better is to remember which rom was played before turning the DS off when it is turned on and put the cursor on it automatically.

Recently it only reminds the directory, but if you have all the roms in the same directory it always start by the first one.

I would like this very much, if anyone wouldn't it could be a configurable setting.

Would it be possible to lock the Start menu like you can with AKAIO to prevent files being deleated accidently.

Is it possible to support eWin GBA Expansion Pak to run GBA games in Wood R4 directly without GBA ExpLoader?

Sure, if you mail the Yellow.Wood.Globin a eWin GBA Expansion Pak. He only has a vanilla 3in1, which is why that's the only one supported.

Vanilla 3in1? I thought white ones only came in 3in1+.

 

[tk_saturn]

lol.

It's an expression, it means the bog standard normal plain 3in1. i.e not the new one, and not the plus or any other.

.sav files in a different directory of the .nds files
.cc files on __rpg\cheats\CC
Rename __rpg directory to __r4

X:\
|---> __r4
  |---> language
  |---> ui
  |---> cheats
    |---> NDS Rom.cc
  |
  |---> icons
  |---> fonts
  |---> globalsettings.ini
  |---> r4_sd.dldi
  |---> backlight.ini
  |---> gamedata.bin
|
|---> Games
  |---> NDS Rom.nds
|
|---> Saves
  |---> NDS Rom.nds.sav

If possible:

RTS, Slow Motion and changeable directory name (__rpg = __r4, __wood, _system_, whatever...)

..Somehow I doubt RTS and Slow Motion will be incorporated. Wouldn't that require a whole new firmware, not just a minor tweak :/

And I agree about the directory name change, although the 'rpg' doesnt bother me in the slightest.

rts doesnot require new firmware. it require a waste of big amount of my life. because wood is hobby and i dont' need rts — i prefer waste my life for more interesting things.

Use .sav instead of using .nds.sav

 

[basher11]

you know how many times that has been requested?

 

[tk_saturn]

There's no reason to change the directory name, all you have to do is hide the __rpg folder in windows. Job Done.

As for changing the saves, why? most people have already renamed their saves, so everyone who has used Wood V1.04 - V1.10 would have to rename them back to .sav.

yes i know

If you are desperate to use .sav just use Xenon's patched version. He has done 1.09, I have not checked if he has patched 1.10 yet. The link is at the front of this thread.

Edit: Looks as if the links to Xenon's patched versions of WoodRPG are dead. Not sure if this was by request or if the links have just died. I require the autoload ROM feature to enable the homebrew loader I use to function properly. I am not sure if there was a reason YWG may not have wanted these features implemented.

Edit2: found link to Xenon's versions. Links and instructions for using can be found on the first post of this thread.

Please rename __rpg directory to __r4 or __r4ds

 

[tk_saturn]

Please rename __rpg directory to __r4 or __r4ds

Why? does it really make a difference to how you use Wood? Do you realise how easy it is to hide the __rpg folder so it doesn't show in Wood at all?

Remember Wood R4 and Wood RPG are built from a common source, having the same directory name for both must make it easier for Y.W.G to code. Wood RPG is still the main project.

Another button combination for the soft reset.

Because, you can easy Soft Reset accidentaly your DS while you play Tales Of Innocence (J)

 

[Infinite Zero]

^Then disable it when you're gonna play that.
