#R4DS SKINS HOW TO#
We won’t cover what’s supported and how to get things working via Moonshell as it’s a separate homebrew that can be run on nearly any flash kit. As the R4 supports and includes Moonshell from the get-go, you can start copying MP3s, pictures, videos and more across. So to give transfer speed results would be pointless…Of course, ROMs aren’t the only thing you can be copying to your card.
#R4DS SKINS PC#
You don’t need to use any software.Just open your micro SD card in explorer, create directories to organise files if you like (keeping in mind you must keep the firmware and related files on the root of the card) and drag and drop ROM files to the card.Transfer speeds will depend on the PC your using, whether you’re using USB1 or USB2 and the write speed of the micro SD card. The ‘shell’ folder contains necessary Moonshell (a homebrew multimedia and more application) files, so you only need to copy that over if you intend to use Moonshell on the R4.Now you’ve formatted your card and have copied over the firmware files you’re ready to start copying ROMs to the card.Īnd to do this, all you need to do is drag and drop the files.
#R4DS SKINS SKIN#
Once that is complete and you have chosen a firmware skin version, just drag all the contents of the folder/ZIP onto the root of your micro SD card (you don’t have to copy files like the readme or skin preview over). You can choose whatever you like, the R4 supports both and they both perform the same. There are preview JPEG files for each skin so you can see what one looks like before transferring it.But instead of using the supplied firmware on the CD, I’d recommend you head over to the official R4 DS website and downloading the newest available firmware to ensure best performance.First thing you’ll want to do is connect your micro SD card to your PC through the supplied reader or however you like, and format your micro SD card to FAT (FAT16) or FAT32. They’re not different firmware revisions, they’re all the same version.Įach one however, has a different skin embedded into it.
#R4DS SKINS SOFTWARE#
The cart really is fully “drag ‘n’ drop” friendly.What you’ll find on the software CD included with the R4 DS (at this time) is five different sets of firmware files. In fact, the R4 DS doesn’t require or even come with any software. Touchscreen or button operationSupports rumble pak and memory pakSetting Up & UsingThe fact that the R4 DS comes supplied with a mini CD-ROM, and is listed as “compatible” with various versions of Windows (with no mention of Mac or Linux support) would perhaps throw off a lot of people and make them assume that it does in fact have client side software.
