I can't get pokemon black or white to work on my R4i

Before anyone complains about how many people ask this or direct me elsewhere i have tried for the past 3 hours every single way of getting it to work but to no avail. Any help whatsoever would be more than welcome, i'm dying to play this game. Thanks in advance.

How many different patches have you tried?

I mostly tried the pre-patched ones, but everyone seems to be using wood 1.13 and that plain refuses to work on the r4i for me

Try patching one yourself.Wood is for original R4 carts only.

I'll give that a go now then, thanks

AmordaREAD THIS IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS EVOLVING USING TTDSI figured out what needs to be done to get around this problem. You will need to download two files. First off, you need to have Pong and Retro's updated TTDSmenu. I'm assuming all of you have it since that's what you are running the game on. Also, download this:Download:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E3P38MOWThis is the Japanese version of the TTDS menu.
Now, take off Pong and Retro's TTDS menu off of your card COMPLETELY and put them in a seperate folder on your desktop. (We will be using this later! Also Make sure you keep your original firmware on your cart.) After doing that, take all the files from the link above and put them on the root of your cart just as you have been doing with the regular TTDS menu. Once you have done this go back to Pong and Retro's TTDS menu files and take the TTmenu.nds file ONLY and transfer that to root of your cart with the other files. Now, time to test it out. Run the TTDS.nds file on your DS like you have been doing. Then, run the rom. Everything should be beautiful.EVOLUTION IS WORKING. I know because I tested it. :D

try this, it worked for my r4i sdhc card. im not sure if this works for black as i am playing white version.you will have to download pong and retros updated menu first
