Updating R4 SDHC

#1
I have a DS lite and an R4 SDHC card. I did a quick search and everything I found basically said make sure it isn't an Ultra, if its an Ultra this is what you can do. I'm certain mine is not an Ultra but you may know better than me.It looks exactly like this. Same box, same card, identical.
Its been a year or so since I've used it so now its firmware is too old to play anything new. Its currently on the R4 kernel v1.34. Some games required me to flash it with a secondary menu called R4_Pandora. I imported Pokemon White from Japan on release but now I see you are hosting the Eu version, I would love to experience the game in english so ideally I want to run that rom.To sum that up, I want to be able to play Pokemon White on a R4SDHC cart using a DS lite.Thanks to anyone that helps.

Ok so I've downloaded that, formatted my microSD then copied it over.The cart boots up into the R4 menu but then automatically loads up YSMenu 6.53RGF
It plays all my old roms so I'm assuming everything is working like it should, Thankyou for that part.However when I try to load up White, I get [Rom loading failed] load rom errcode=-5 Please reset the system.Any idea what I need to do now? or am I better off searching for another thread on the appropriate forum?Edit: Never mind, I found the problem and its all working now. Turned out the TTMenu in that link was missing a few files

I had the same issue when I picked my R4 up again with the release of B/W. I did some research and tried stuff out and ultimately decided that the Wood firmware for the R4 was the best. You can find it here: http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=39701.0I've had no problem playing B/W at all.

Can you please show where to get these files that are missing from TTMenu.
I have now got to the stage of [Rom loading failed] load rom errcode=-5 Please reset the system.

Download this http://loda.jp/dsm/?id=500 where it say's downloadGet the dats , extinfo.dat / infolib.dat / savlib.dat from the rar archive folder and override them with the ones you have in the TTMenu folderAlso use a clean ROM of the game, errcode=-4 is common , when game ID and data is added to extinfo.dat and infolib.dat then the game should load upPost Merge: [time]1299706274[/time]
Add this to the TTMenu folder <- for R4 r4patch.dat original should avoid errcode=-5 issues ? + Latest datshttp://loda.jp/dsm/?id=501
