Your R4 look's original - dose it use a 2GB microSD chip ownly ?You can use panasonic micro sd formatter to do a proper format of your microSD chip - unplug and replugin in after use of the formatter!And no one mentiond the latest Wood R4 v1.13http://filetrip.net/g25123666-Wood-R4.htmlNote a R4 original can only take upto a 2GB microSD chip ownly - NOT SDHC microSD chipsExtract the content from inside the folder of R4 Wood and not the folder it's self

Then WoodR4 v1.13 will work on it if done right - Do read my message abouth ^Do not extract the folder it self to the root of your microSD chipJust thease files inside the folder onto the root of your microSD chip__rpg
_DS_MENU.DATThat is it , add a Games folder if you like to place your games into itNote Root of microsd chip - exsample F:\ = Root

Check the top ledge of your R4 card - are the bubble's in half like the pic ? - are they fully rounded ?If they are fully rounded then is a clone R4If it's half then it's original and wood R4 dose work on itDid you also do a full erase of your microSD chip with panasonic micro sd formatter ?Ops sorry forgot linkhttp://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/SDFormatterEN2905.ziphttp://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/Post Merge: [time]1286042079[/time]

nope.... still not working.

Try these links. ** NOTE: This is if your cart is an Original R4DS **May be one will fit your need. Its a link for almost all cart firmwares and kernels, including its tools.http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/http://www.r4ds.me/index-en.htmlYou might also need to format your cart. You need to format your SD card to FAT32 (not FAT or FAT16 or even NTFS).http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/R4-Ds-Card---Step-By-Step-Setup-Guide-For-R4-Ds/1194949http://searchwarp.com/swa588878-R4-Ds-Card-The-Quick-And-Easy-Setup-Guide-For-The-R4-Ds.htmhttp://www.r4ds.cn/r4ds.htmlSteps:
1. Format your SD Card to FAT32.
2. Download the R4 kernel (latest version) and copy it into your card.
3. Run it in your DS Console
4. If it run ok, next you may want to download the latest Wood R4 v.1.13 or latest YSMENU. Or both.(If you decide to download both YSMENU & Wood R4. You need to make sure before you move your Wood R4 folder which is "_rpg folder" to your cart, first move the _DS_MENU.DAT that belong to the Wood R4 only into the '_rpg folder' as a pre-caution to avoid conflict reading, cause the R4's kernal also have the same .DAT file name.)There are 2 types of YSMENU in circulation in the internet.
1. Yasu's Original YSMENU v.06 (not able to run PKM B/W)
2. VividBoy's modified version of Yasu's YSMENU: YSMENU R4YSauto v.0.02 (can run un-translated PKM B/W)Latest TTMENU for YSMENU : Unofficial TTDS/DSTT v.117a12 rev32
Latest R4DS Kernel is : v.1.18Note: Wood R4 only work on Original R4DS (can run both un-translated and English translated version of PKM B/W)
YSMENU can work on any R4 Original & Clones.You might need to also find copies of DLDI files to add into your firmware. Appropriate ones that is with the name "r4", just copy it and place it in the TTMENU for use on YSMENU or in the main root inside '_rpg folder' for Wood. But don't do it unless you can't run it. If it run ok, you don't need to add any DLDI files.The reason you haven't been able to make it work base on the respond given to you was because no one mentioned about you still need the R4 kernels to run the firmware (wood/ysmenu). You need the R4's "_system_ folder" and "_DS_Menu" to make it work. Cause the R4's kernel is the brain for the cart, the firmware is merely like a software for the cart.I'm no expert on this, but I did manage to make it work after several trial and errors by myself. Hopefully if your's is R4DS Original can make use of this method. If not, then sorry, I was merely trying to help.
