changing shoulder buttons to either start or select

my DS for some reason the shoulder buttons dont work. I really want to play the new kingdom hearts game. But the controls include the use of r and l buttons. Is there a way to bypass the tutorial so i play with only the D pad and ABXY buttons or change the button configur help is much appreciated

I can give a few suggestions, none of them involes altering the L and R buttons-you may need them in game-or other's for that matter.1.Make a seal with your hands and blow hard-it's an old trick to disloge any forgein objects jamming it from within.2.If that fails after a bit, do what I do-slam the buttons onto a table for a bit-gently at first and aim for the buttons-not to hard as it may damage it3.Get it repaired-it may cost but in long run worth it4.Get a new ds model-if repair cost more than repair5.Play it thru an pc emulator like NO$GBA and once you get to where you need grab the save file and ram it into the flashcard-converting it when needed-that way you can not need L and R buttons-just for that scene.6.Look in game options-it may have a button config-if not the first 5 may help somewhat

thank you very much

lol i seriously cnt be bothered to play the whole tutorial again.... can anyone post a all finished tutorial sav (compatible with r4 1.18) here plz :-\

You can't skip it?

it gets annoying when i repeat it again!

If you're using a R4 make sure the little (R) in the top right corner is always on red before you open a game... If it is on green then you will not be able to use your L and R ingame.Hope that this is actually your problem as it would mean a easy fix.gl.

Incorrect. That red/green R icon indicates whether or not soft-reset is enabled. If it is, pressing L+R+A+B+X+Y in-game will take you back to the R4 menu.

yes... which also means that the normal function of L and R isnt active, as i stated.

And as I stated, that's incorrect.If you have a fake R4, that may be a possibility, but it's definitely not the norm.

Well either way it could be that he has the same one i have...

Given that he mentioned 1.18, he probably has a genuine R4.

^I doubt it. Would just be a early fake/clone. tehuber is right, the icon is for enabling/disabling the soft-reset function. I definitely have not heard of a setting in-firmware that disables the use of cryptic keys.

Meh, some people still have genuine R4s. The vast majority of clones differentiated themselves with firmware updates. I don't think I've ever seen one that still uses 1.18.

Yes, the save-files should be backwards compatible with the Acekard.
