Wood R4 v1.04

[Mages4ever]

Yeah, Thabk you Thank you, I'm glad R4 is back

It's not really "back." It is coming back, but we'll see how far this goes before it pushes the R4's limits.

 

[RadioShadow]

Tested -

• 7 Wonders II (E)
• Bejeweled Twist (U)
• Bookworm (U)
• Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
• Sonic Classic Collection (U)
• Sonic and Sega All Star Racing (E)
• Tracy Beaker (E) (don't ask)

All working fine.

P.S Just a reminder to all you crazy kids - old save files have to be renamed to .nds.sav

AWESOME! R4 doesn't suck now!

 

[Lacius]

Never in a million years would I have thought this to happen. Wow. Just wow.

 

[Retal]

I don't see what all the fuss is about. What does this do that I can't do already? I can already play the games I want. Granted I have to patch some of them like Pokémon, but does this really fix that? And if so, does it do so by patching the ROM on the fly or by doing a perfect emulation? Because as far as I understand it, the R4 is not capable of such an emulation.

 

[Deleted User]

What a great achievement! I'm tempted to dig up my DSlite and my original R4 just to test it. Since I haven't used my DSlite since I got a DSi on launch day I think I'll need to charge it first though.

 

[jurassicplayer]

I can't say anything more other than this is just fucking awesome xD. With each passing day, my urge to just screw waiting for a chance to buy repair parts and buy a new DS rises.

It does indeed let you play PKMN HH&SS without the need of anything but a clean rom.

 

[EJames2100]

Yup runs HeartGold unpatched perfect.
Also runs the Monnshell 2.10 Stable version too

Be sure to manually turn your ds after switching themes as it doesn't auto do it yet.

Hope this will be continually updated as it is definitly one of the best things to hit R4

I know but with this you don't even need the extinfo.

 

[SherlockHolmeboy]

Damn, now I'm wishing I didn't give away my R4!

Oh well, I still have an AK2, so it's all good.

 

[Pliskron]

I wonder if this is going to end up being the new YSmenu

 

[The Viztard]

sooo, ive tried changin the themes...and sometimes the top screen sort of seems off...why is that? andyone know?

 

[Sandman00009]

this .rar is full of files do all we need it the menu.dat?

 

[jurassicplayer]

You need the stuff in the "root" folder, _rpg is like the _system_ of the R4.

 

[Dark^'^Knigh]

OP clearly states there is currently a problem (to be fixed) with changing language and/or skin.

I haven't had the opportunity to read through this whole thread, but does anyone know yet if this firmware enables playing DSi enhanced games on the original R4DS?

what you mean by off? Works fine for me.

QUOTE(Sandman00009 @ Apr 9 2010, 12:21 AM) this .rar is full of files do all we need it the menu.dat?

Extract what's in the root file in the .rar to the root of your SD card, so __rpg and _DS_Menu.DAT to the root of your card.

 

[UVERoo]

I just installed YSMenu a few days ago too....damn. I'll wait a bit for all of this to get sorted out and working properly then I'll bite.

Thanks a lot

Wood R4 v1.04
NEW Firmware

I can hardly contain my excitement for this GBATemp exclusive. Yellow Wood Goblin has just released to me his brand new firmware, Wood R4 v1.04. This firmware is a replacement for the R4 1.18 firmware and only supports the Original R4 Flash Linkers. This Firmware is not for R4 clones, use of it on clones may result in unforeseen problems. When asked why support the R4, his response was "why not?"! The code is based in part on advancements made during the last public release of Wood R.P.G., users can expect the same coding quality, the same compatibility, basic wii-connectivity, and future updates.

This is the 1st public release, and exclusive to GBATemp. There are bound to be things that do not work as they should, so please take the time to test and report your findings. Please be sure to make use of this discussion thread to post your bug reports.

GBATemp will closely follow this thread for potential party poopers. Remember this is an achievement to be embraced not a chance to voice your opinions on the R4, the history of the R4, or the people who choose to continue to use their original R4.

this firmware based on wood rpg firmware 1.04. so the same compatibility level and similar features except:
1. softreset doesn't work at the moment. will be fixed.
2. bypass protection option doesn't work. cart limitation.
3. if you change language or/and skin firmware doesn't restart automatically. will be fixed.
4. sources not released. because this is one day hack. then sources will put in order it will released. for free

thank to Normmatt for support.
