Author Topic: R4 1.19u? (Read 6578 times)

« **on:** April 04, 2009, 06:30:02 AM »

I'm trying to get GTA to work on the DS with an R4 card but its not happening with the 1.18 firmware. I hear theres an unofficial 1.19u firmware around but I'm having trouble finding it on google. Anyone got a link?

Even if you get the 1.19u fw you need to patch the image.
And BTW I found 1.19u googling, so if you try a little harder you'll stumble upon it...

Apparently there is a clone of the R4, called the R4i that still has a development team behind it and the firmware (which is up to v 1.22 or 1.24 I am not clear on that yet) works with old R4 cartridges.

It solves some compatibility problems like the infamous Star Wars Clone Wars; not that I care about the game, but it's good news in case other publishers implement that protection scheme, and it's good to know somebody is still updating the firmware.
I will try the 1.22/1.24 FW myself with the Star Wars game and report back.

BTW, they have updated the FW many times just this june...

1.23 works fine, although some games work on 1.21 and not 1.23.
BTW, if you disable soft reset Star Wars (the one released last year that didn't work with 1.18/1.19) works just fine.

Just a little update for R4 users: a new FW has been released called WOOD R4 (current version is 1.04) and now pretty much EVERY single ROM works flawlessly on R4, even the DSi enhanced games that wouldn't work (Avatar, Alice, Bejeweled Twist, etc.).

Thanks for the tip man!

Wood is up to 1.09 now, only problems with two very recent and minor roms. They release a new one about every 10 days.

1.11 is out with the most notable fix being for the uncracked DQIX ROM. Also it added the possibility of selecting language on a ROM per ROM basis (among other things).
