Wood R4 v1.05

[LordSturm]

Amazing job!
However there seems to be a severe problem with booting slot-2 devices.

I have a EZ 3-in-1 Slot2, the Wood R4 does a great job of putting a GBA game on NOR it but it can't seem to boot it...

I can boot the slot-2 device from stock NDS menu, and stock R4 firmware ( has custom frame ), when I boot from Wood R4 I get two white screens.

Is this a known limitation or bug?

Thanks!

EDIT: After trying the RAM mode with some other roms I found the RAM mode worked, but you can't boot a legit GBA game or a NOR Flashed gba game using the slot-2 button. ( I'm also having troubles with dialogues, they are fully flashing the nor but the progress bar never ends and the S1 card keeps blinking, also I can't load that same game to RAM to play. )

does this work with R4i SDHC? i want to buy this card but use it on my ds lite as a backup for my games.

Forgive me for asking what's probably an asinine question, but how do you soft reset? The LRABXY combo from the original R4 doesn't seem to be working. I've made sure I'm using 1.05.

It says it does not support clones, stop asking. Last person who tried apparently broke his clone. ( Who knows? )

Press Dpad Down + A + B + L + R...

I find it extraordinary that the R4DS themes have such an influence on retention of its firmware. Seems many R4 users struggle/can't let go of the out-dated firmware in lieu of this exceptional custom firmware.
Probably because the R4 UI was so simple and fast that it could be used by a two year old, yet gave all the info you'd need.

Simple, Fast, Effective. The rules of a good UI, many other flashcart makers would be wise to take note.

Not that I'm saying this firmware doesn't have a good UI - having not used it, I wouldn't know.

Which works fantastically, just tested it and only two (obvious) mistakes. Nice link, thanks.

Although for the amount of text in that jpg, it'd take less than 1min to type out anyway. The only thing the jpg does is make it hard for the partially sighted/others with sight problems who may use a screen-reader. Decreasing accessibility to stop someone copy/pasting is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

the slot2 button is for booting to nds passme mode. if you flash a rom to nor the rom will boot. if a rom is already in nor you will need to use the nds's firmware to boot into gba mode.

This wood r4 is amazing. Running smooth on M3 Simply.
thanks!

I love it if for no reason other than it's a benefit to having an Original R4. Looking at all those $3 knockoffs, it was a bit frustrating to remember the hassle of having to purchase two $50 prepaid visas because the first one failed! Yeesh.

 

[Blade4474]

thanks guys you have made my flashcart so much better.
R4 is cool again!

You still need Ez Flash 3in1 for gba games right? Or maybe not? 8D
(Just a hope ^^")

[c45p3r]

sorry, i meant has anyone got any cheats i can use

 

[c45p3r]

sorry, i meant has anyone got any cheats i can use

what file does the cheat have to be and where would i put it

 

[soupbandit]

Well i downloaded this and added files to root. I then tried maplestory ds and i got flashing yeti. I turn it off and retry , now i get a can't find ds_menu.dat or w/e. I check the microsd card , and everything is gone . In it's place is a file called t. It's o bytes and does nothing. I try to delete but it says it's an important system file , I click delete anyways and it says unable to locate.

sorry, i meant has anyone got any cheats i can use

The cheat file that Wood R4 (Acekard 2) uses is called USRCHEAT and you can get it from gbatemp's own database: http://cheats.gbatemp.net/
When using Wood R4, the cheat file (USRCHEAT.DAT) is placed in the following path: root_r4\__rpg\cheats.
If the cheat file you require is not in the folder than you need to download it from the previous url.
To apply cheats whilst in the firmware, just hover over the game you want to use cheats for and then press Y and then X to access the games cheats.
In order to save the cheats you have enabled/disabled simply generate the specific file for that game (.cc file)
happy cheating!!!

i got wood r4. how do you know your version??

 

[kelvinmiu]

Hey, I'm also having a strange problem. I'm using a M3 Simply card with the Wood R4 v1.05.

I've used it for some time, the UI is pretty, but after a while just after turning the DS on, it would show "Couldn't find _DS_MENU.DAT" on my screen.

So I tried reading the card on my computer, and it just shows up that it has 0 bytes free..With no files inside the card.


Has this ever happened to anyone before? I mean, I would like to know if I'm screwed, or if there's any solutions.
