1. Create a folder name it [wood] anywhere; e.g. c:\documents and settings\wood\
2. Download the latest _rpg folder update from Yellow Wood Goblin and extract it into [wood] folder; the name of that folder would be [wood_v.X.XX] ; Note: X = number

Change log (v1.3 Beta):- Now returns to menu after processing is 100%
- Added Remove option
- Freshened up code
- Now shows a message when no .sav or .bak files were found.

A simple batch file that allows you to mess around with saves.Instructions:
- Unzip
- Place the .bat file in the same folder as the saves
- Run it
- Select optionOptions to select of:
- Wood R4 (Convert to *.nds.sav)
- Normal (convert BAK to SAV)
- Backup (convert SAV to BAK)
- Remove (remove *.sav)Note - Make a backup of your saves before running this to prevent accidental data loss.

This quick tool will allow you quickly backup saves, rename *.SAV to sav, rename *.nds.sav to *.sav and rename *.sav to *.nds.sav. It can backup saves to your PC or to a backup directory on your MicroSD card.When backing up saves to your MicroSD card, backups will be placed in [MicroSD Card]\Backups. Only those files that have changed will be copied, over writing those that already exist. It will backup all saves on the MicroSD card except those which already exist in the backup directory itself.When backing saves to your HDD, this will archive them into a zip file located in [Username]\My Documents\DS-Saves. The name of the file will be the date and time of when the backup was made. All saves will be backed up except those in the backup directory on your MicroSD card.AKAIO 1.7 uses lowercase file extensions for it's save files, it won't see those with uppercase file extensions. AKAIO 1.5.1 and earlier used uppercase SAV if the ROM filename was 8 characters or less long and so these will need to be renamed.Some of the OSmenu's for other carts, also use uppercase file extensions for their saves. If so, they need to be renamed in order to use them with AKAIO.The Official Acekard software normally uses *.nds.sav for it's saves, while AKAIO normally uses *.sav for it's saves. These saves will also need to be renamed if you want to use them with AKAIO.Wood R4 uses *.nds.sav for it's save files, where as most other R4 OSmenu's use *.sav. You will have to rename them to use them with Wood.If you are switching from AKAIO to Wood or vice versa, you will also need to rename them.Before renaming, it will backup all save files to 'My Documents\DS-Saves\[Date]\[Time]'.It should be able to identify your MicroSD card. All saves in root directory of your card will be renamed, and also all those in directories beneath will be renamed. If you have your games in folders, just run SaveManager and it will rename the saves in all the folders.This will not rename an already existing *.nds.sav to *.nds.nds.sav.

Change log (vwifi r30 slot 2 r20):CONTENTS
========
- wooddumper (r30)
- wooddumper_slot2 (r27)NOTES
=====- wooddumper is a FTP server app. It waits for connection from FTP client
(supports passive transfer mode) or common Internet browsers (tested with
Firefox and IE8). Server IP address is displayed on NDS top screen. It
expects connection on port 21, login/pass can be anything. Resume is
supported. Client disconnection is required for changing card to be dumped.- wooddumper_slot2 requires DLDI-patching for your specific Slot-2 device.
If you are launching it afterwards from a Slot-1 device, BE SURE to disable
the Slot-1 device auto-patching feature. OR simply DLDI-patch with your
Slot-2 driver, then block the DLDI area from subsequent patching by using
the "dldinoap" tool (dldi.drunkencoders.com, recommended for the most up to
date DLDI drivers).- wooddumper tools are open source: http://code.google.com/p/wooddumper/No-Intro 2010.

1. Download the theme/skin you like

4. Go to the Settings and Change your Theme

Getting the Cheats to Work0) After moving USRCHEAT.DAT to the "cheats" folder of the _rpg folder, open up your DS with the R4.1) You should be in the Wood R4 Menu. Press the "START" button.2) Go to "SETTINGS." You should see "System Settings" on top of the pop-up. Just set any random Settings and then press "OK." Press "OK" again to ensure that you saved the settings.3) Now restart your DS (don't use soft reset ---> turn off your DS then turn on your DS).4) Go to "Settings" then press "R" until you see "Cheat In Game (AR)".5) Turn "Cheat In Game (AR) ON" or else it will not work. Press "A" to confirm the Settings.6) Go to any game and press "Y" to bring up the information about that highlighted game.7) Press "X" to bring up the Cheats List.8) Tick/Untick the Cheats that you want and don't want.9) Then press "X" to Generate the .CC file (file for Cheats).10) Press "A" and you're all set to go.This is what I did to make the cheats work, for the final time. I'm sure that this method will work now, as I've upgraded Wood Firmware each time.(LITTLE NOTE: If you cannot bring up the Cheats List after all these steps, then it's possible that the Game ID for a game does not match up. Please make changes with R4CCE. Also...if the Cheats List do not show up, then the little Micro SD card icon on the top right of the Touch Screen will flash. This may be useless information, but it's just to let you know.)Have Fun!
