Patching the Chinese R4DS to use the English firmware
Thu, 08/07/2008 - 11:03 — mario
If you have a Chinese R4DS and want to put the English firmware on it, then you'll need to patch the _DS_MENU.DAT file before it'll work. Follow the instructions below to patch your _DS_MENU.DAT file.
1. Download the latest English firmware from www.r4ds.com
2. Download the latest language patcher
3. Extract firmware files and put the _DS_MENU.DAT file in the same directory as patch.exe and info.db
4. Run patch.exe
5. Type in name of dat file, _DS_MENU.DAT
6. It’ll ask you if you want to run it on M3 hardware, type N
7. It’ll ask you if you want to run it on Chinese or Japanese hardware, type 1
8. Copy the patched _DS_MENU.DAT to the root of your microSD with the other firmware files.
9. Done. Enjoy your new English R4 Revolution DS for the Nintendo DS Lite.
