Hi, I'm new to this whole thing about installing vnds on my r4. I'm currently using r4i sdhc for my ds and I'm wondering. So, I shoudln't use the 1.5.3 ver and use the 1.4.7 intead right? So the readme I found was for ver 1.5.3. Then how would I install a visual novel? Install a .novel file like 1.5.3 read me says? Or something else? Cause I tried it myself and now my games won't even work and sd card doesn't initialize on my pc anymore.
In version 1.4.7 you don't use the .novel files. You have two choices, or you rename the .novel fils to .zip and extract them or just download them here: http://digital-haze.net/files/vnds/novels/ .
You have to create a folder named 'VNDS' on the root of your SD card and in there extract all of the VNDS software. Either the .novel files or the folders you get from unzipping it or downloading, must go on a folder called 'NOVELS'.
Here's what it should look like: http://i45.tinypic.com/vcq53m.jpg Note that the 'vnds' folder is in the root of the SD card (H:\VNDS) and in it are only the vnds.ds file and the 'novels' folder which is where you put your novels in.
What about VNDSx 149?

Isn't that the better choice, combining the advantages of 147 and 153? Or is it still buggy? Not that 147 was bugfree though.
Oh, so is the install method for 1.4.9 from weabloo the same as this one? And I can also use the files I downloaded from vnds? Thanks for clearing up a few things. So I can use tar.gf or .novel.
Its supposedly better than both. It takes out the .novel support (not that .novel support really did much) and makes the brightness button work again. It also increases the number of foreground images that can be displayed at one time, among various other small changes.
