Hi, I use an R4 III Upgrade with it's latest firmware and have the game working completely and figure I should share what I did...
Firstly, if you use a YSMenu, you should know exactly what this speaks of:

I have been receiving the error= -4 code on my YSMenu'd R4III Upgrade. (I think it's modeled off of DSTT not sure)
I downloaded and followed this:
http://gbatemp.net/t237398-waio-woodallinone? (put the contents of the build folder in the root)
When I load up the R4 I go into WAIO.nds and then from there load up WoodR4dldi.nds.
Then I load up a Rom that was patched by the Universal Patch by Rudolf and the EXP patch (both found on this thread one on main page one on some other page of this tread)
It works completely without saving problems or anything. R4 Clones and DSTT might want to try this. I'm not sure if it will work or not though...
Now there's a bit more to it so that you have no issues if you are using the same cart as myself...
After putting all of these files into your flashcart make sure the rom you're using was patched by Rudolph's patch and then the EXP (hex) patch found in the Anti Piracy thread.
I noticed with my flash cart i didn't really have to go through WAIO.nds and then to woodr4dldi.nds, I loaded up woodr4dldi.nds by itself but if you feel more comfortable with the first method then do that.
Next, when the woodr4dldi.nds load it should look like wood firmware. Go to where your pokemon game is, press start and then Y to get to your settings. I had changed my save type to "2M".
After that, press your R button until you see something about cheats and reset with their options being "global(off)" for both.... Turn them both to off and press A to save and be out of your settings. Load up your pokemon game and if it loads then that's good.
If it doesn't load try changing the save type again (i had to do this... I first tried 512k and then 1M and then finally 2M which worked best).
This worked for myself and I hope I've helped others
FYI, I've been playing with no freezes or exp problems thanks to those patches. I'm up to the third gym with no issues BESIDES the c-gear which makes the game freeze but there is an easy way around it.
(when you're receiving the c gear... press option 2 and then option 1. It'll avoid activation of this in game device. Do the same when you load your rom again after saving while having the cgear to avoid freezing)
