    I'm trying to play the game Bookworm on my Nintendo DS lite (so not the downloadable version).

    I have an original R4 and have tried both 1.18 firmware (official) and YSmenu 12.05.09 firmware. Neither work.

    With the 1.18, it just goes to a black screen.

    With the YS, it gives me an error message as I try to load it up "Load rom errcode=-4 with YSM09.12.05".

    Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advanced

    Yeah, buy a new (different) flashcart. Many newer games won't work on an original R4 and never will.

    Actually from what I just read the game Bookworm does not work on any flashkard at this time. And I tried it on my EZ-flash acekard2i and dstti. And no go.

    After replacing the ARM7.bin,

    then keeping A pressed while loading.

    Thank you that worked. What does holding down A actually do?

    it disables DMA mode, which i think is to do with the game save file type...or something

    but hey... its works

    just a heads up... its a good idea to keep a clean copy of the rom so that when acekard update their loaders for it, you wont have to use a patched one. a patched rom may not work when the acekard is trying to apply its fix to it.
