Wood R4 v1.04

[EJames2100]

The 2i has the advantage of been DS compatible and able to use SDHC Mem Cards.
Also the official team is very much alive.

Dunno bout owt else but I do like that R4 now has new life in it that now makes it rival some of the best cards available.

Mkay, anyone with an AK2i, this question is for you.
How does this Firmware compare to the AK2i. Do you think the AK2i is superior? Or is the R4 now within the top 5? Does it beat the AK2i?

Woa this looks great! What really attracts me is the theme! I WANT A THEME AND FEEL SOMETHING INSIDE every time i turn on the DS, already tired of the dull YS menu xD though it really has helped a lot... although recently i just turned it on and the menu was in white and black 0.0,..fixed the next day

I can't use my current Save Files when using this Firmware - why is that? (I have the games and save files in a folder)

Are your saves in .nds.sav format?

Wow, I saw that Extension when I was trying to make Backup Save Files. I guess I'll give that a go.

Did it worked when you changed the file extension? 0.0

Yes, it does work. Thanks!

And I'm having a new problem...again. I can't use the cheats for any game at all, even though I put the USRCHEAT.DAT in the "cheats" folder of the _rpg folder. Well, it DOES support USRCHEAT.dats, right?

I have both and tbh i only got a AK2i like 2 weeks ago before that it was all R4. The R4 is a lot faster and better, the only thing i'd give to the AK2i is that it supports SDHC and works in a DSi apart from that i'd go R4 110%! Btw look for my first post on this thread it says about speeds and stuff.

PS. Bring back the R4 Menu or the option to choose between R4 or acekard menus, don't really like acekards one.

I still can't believe this,even tho it's infront of me

 

[iamthemilkman]

Hold on, isn't this effectively running a variant of Acekard's firmware on the R4?

Will Team Acekard even be happy about that?

seeing has how normmatt shared alot of the information to get this working, i don't think it is an issue. i wonder if the akaio r4 firmware will go public now. oh crap did i just mention that in public? don't hate me norm!

 

[EJames2100]

I'd say it comes beneath AK2i.
But it's a definite competitor for almost any card out there(Save those made for DSi)

Cons:
Many Clones, most can't tell if they've bought a real or not.
2GB Mem Card Limit.
Only uses SD cards, no SDHC cards.
Official Team long dead.
Real R4 cards no longer in production.

But this breathes new life into the R4 and I would recommend.

Pros:
Can now run a sort of AKAIO, the best firmware out there.
... All it needs really, the AK isn't much without AKAIO.

How long is shipping time from shoptemp

if anybody is having issues with your savs, you dont need to convert them.

easy way to do it:

make a .bat file in notepad and put this in (without quotes)

"rename *.sav *.nds.sav"

put your savs with the .bat and open it up.

should rename them easier.

True

Also true
Only uses SD cards, no SDHC cards.
kinda the same thing as above
Official Team long dead.
who cares :/ the official acekard team kinda sux
Real R4 cards no longer in production.
clone

But this breathes new life into the R4 and I would recommend.

Aww Fu--
Well, which would you say is better.
8 GB SDHC with Akaio 1.6 RC2 on an AK2i
Or
2GB-2GB-1GB with Wood R4 1.04 on an R4

Is the R4 THAT much faster? Or is it like, 1 second o-o

well according to people's reactions, it's really fast.

I still can't believe it. I had to blink a few times when I loaded the GBATemp home. R4 was laughed off, but now it has come back to life. Damn. Gotta love the unexpected.

Have fun.

Damn it. Does the R4 just have a better processor o-o

 

[I am r4ymond]

The R4 with V 1.18 FW loads faster than other Flash Carts. It still loads somewhat fast for big-sized games.

 

[EJames2100]

Doesn't seem too much faster for me.
I have a 8GB SDHC card and AK2i with AKAIO 1.6 RC2
And I'm not gonna put it down for my R4

AK2i with AKAIO has worked wonders for me and while R4 might have a slight advantage with loading faster, no reason to just stop using something.
Especially since there's much more space, and the fact I bought it about a month ago.

Hope they'll kinda make it compatible with Original R4 skins, I used to love those.

Holy shit this is awesome! It finally has Wii-DS connectivity!

I honestly don't find it much faster. My 2i w/ AKAIO boots everything really quick.

 

[Mages4ever]

I swear, this is one of the most FML situations an Acekard 2i user could be in.
