Go here to update the TTDS that you have: http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=43121.0Basically you need to replace the 3 .DAT files inside the TTMENU folder you see in your SD Card;
1. extinfo.dat
2. infolib.dat
3. savlib.datRemember to always make backups of your SD Card content before formatting or when upgrading!If you still find problem, please address your issues in that link I gave or consult page 1 of that topic link.

Thank you, so do i delete those three files out and replace them with new ones?ive been so angry with it, i felt like throwing the whole thing at the wall! and giving up!

Yes, you just need to replace those 3 .DAT files. No need to replace the others.But again as I said, keep a backup copy before making such updating to be on the safe side.Each time a new update is shown on that topic page by iluvupaburgers, just replace those files mentioned. It usually should solve the issue you face unless mentioned otherwise in a separate topic page. You'll need to follow the updates from time to time to enjoy the latest games. Some rom do require patching before able to be use. So there will always be one or two rom that can't run properly even after the updated DAT files.If you encounter any issue, please write at that topic page so that you get proper assistance. But I hope you can solve it by doing just the above.

Thank you sooooooooooo much it works a treat!!! Yipppeee!!Now how do i do my sons R4 card and my daughters R4i blue card? cos same thing happens to theirs to xx

You're welcome.For your kids, its the same way you did for the TTDS. If their card already contain YSMENU/TTMENU, then simply replace those 3 .DATs. (no need to re-format the SD card)If theirs not yet have YSMENU/TTMENU, simply copy over the appropriate version as labelled in the package.
(might need to re-format the SD card, remember to backup before starting, as you will need to re-insert those files back after formatting)And don't forget to read and follow the instructions and notes inside the package's READ ME.txt file that fit the description of your kid's cards.Notes:
1. Updates from RetroGameFan for this firmware is usually every 2 weeks. So keep an eye on that link from iluvupaburgers.
2. Latest games that are fixed are mentioned in the changelog
3. Only need to update the 3 .DATs that I've mentioned
4. Always make backup of your SD card before updating/upgrading/formatting
5. In some cases you might need to re-format before installing the YSMENU/TTMENU for the first time (not required when only updating the .DATs)
6. Some games still need patching for it to overwrite the anti-piracy feature. Please look up for separate topic on the relevant games, or look for a rom labelled as pre-patched for convenience

errcode=-4 is having they lastest infolib.dat/extinfo.dat replaced into the TTMenu folder, in order to fix the issue, that's if the game is added to them files

However i just cant fix my sons R4 card, its just the original one.

If it is an R4 original like this one ?Then format the micro SD chip, Download this and extract the rar arcive content to the root of the micro SD chipYSMenu_V6.48.1 and Softreset+WoodR4 v1.23http://www.mediafire.com/?n90rgbrjsk0k78lPlace games in the NDS Games folderSwitch systemWill Auto start on YSMenu v6.48.11.

Can you please write down the words on the body of the R4 cartridge?
Is it written as R4 Revolution DS (NDSL/NDS)? or does it have an additional writting on it such as "upgrade" or "SDHC" or "i" behind the R4?If there isn't any other writting on it then his cart is original. If so, then just opt to use WOOD R4 for R4 Original.The topic page for the updates and troubleshooting is from CoolKill3r (CK3) : http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=39701.0Or since you're new to this; I'll link you direct to the filetrips downloads from CoolKill3r and Yellow Wood Goblin;
1. CK3's bootloading file for Wood R4 Original : http://filetrip.net/file.php?id=23728
2. YWG's firmware for Wood R4 Original : http://filetrip.net/file.php?id=23723What you need to do;
1. Download both files (CK3 and YWG)
2. In YWG's you will see; _rpg folder and _ds_menu.dat
3. Drag that _ds_menu.dat and place it inside the _rpg folder
4. Now add the _rpg folder and CK3's .NDS file and place it into the SD Card
5. Done (No need to add the .txt files into the SD Card)
6. Run the wood R4.nds from inside the console
7. Go to the START option you see on the bottom right of the touch screen; touch it
8. Go to the SETTINGS option and touch it
9. Use the arrow of the touch screen until you see FILE SYSTEM SETTINGS
10. Below it you should see SAVE EXTENSION; change it to .SAV
11. Press OK 2x and then Press YES; DONE
12. Time to play; each time your son should enter wood R4.NDS to play** This is if his card is an R4 Original (can only run SD Card 1GB or 2GB) then use Wood R4 for R4 Original; If its an R4 SDHC (can run SD Card above 2GB) try Wood R4 for Acekard RPG. Same method but the download link for the Wood for Acekard RPG is in CK3's topic page I mentioned above.Like YSMENU, the update is usually 2x a month. Remember to do step no. 3 as this is important to avoid accidental replacing the R4's _ds_menu.dat with the Wood's that bear the same name. And at all times, remember to back up before starting.Note;
1. The YSMENU/TTMENU update I gave link to is the latest .DATs to date (as of Feb 6th) from Retrogamefan v.6.48
2. The above Wood R4 is from Yellow Wood Goblin v.1.23 (an newer update should be due in a few days time)
3. Remember to always update to the latest version from the topic page from iluvupaburgers (for YSMENU/TTMENU) and coolkill3r (for Wood R4)

You're welcome.For the time being, until you buy another cartridge;For TTMENU/YSMENU; simply update the 3 DAT files inside the TTMENU folder (extinfo.dat, infolib.dat, and savlib.dat) everytime an update is released on this topic page : http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=43121.0 (no need to format, simply replace the old .DATs with the newer version)For WOOD R4; simply update the WOOD R4's bootloader from CK3 and the wood's _DS_MENU.DAT from Yellow Wood Goblin everytime an update is released on this topic page : http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=39701.0
Or go directly below, each time a new version is out, its marked in green writing.
1. CK3's bootloading file for Wood R4 Original : http://filetrip.net/file.php?id=23728
2. YWG's firmware for Wood R4 Original : http://filetrip.net/file.php?id=23723However if in future you decide to acquire new cartridges, I'd suggest purchasing the SuperCard DSTwo or the AceKard 2i.As for TTDS themes: http://www.ndsthemes.com/themes/title/ysmenu
Simply download the theme you want, Go to TTMENU folder and locate the existing skin (2 files) ending with .BMP, Remove it and replace with the downloaded files. DoneAs for Wood R4, you must use the Acekard's themes : http://www.ndsthemes.com/themes/search/1/ak2/ak or http://www.acekard.com/skin.php
Simply download the theme you want, Go to the _rpg folder and open the UI folder, place the skin folder in it. Run Wood R4 in the console, go to START, go to SETTINGS, and then change the THEME to the one you want. Done.Warning:
In the theme sites there are some X rated themes. Parental Guidance Advisory.
