I've got an R4 SDHC RTS Lite 2017 flashcart with the kernel from r4isdhc.com, based on your compatibilty list, similar cards from earlier years work but I was wondering if it would work on my newer 2017 card from the same place as the ones from previous years that do work, and what would the advantage be to using this over the kernel provided by said site?
You can use it. YSmenu lets you browse the entire filesystem instead of just listing every .nds it finds like the original kernel. It will also fix Okamiden and maybe some other games the original kernel can't play for some reason. But it will break Pokemon BW(2). And can't use RTS with it.

All latest 2017 r4isdhc.com carts are the same, and they work with ysmenu. The main advantage would be getting rid of the time bomb, and replacing the original ui which imho, is ugly as sin.

I'm able to play Pokémon Black/White 2 just fine on YSmenu, I'm using YSmenu on the R4i SDHC 3DS RTS flashcart.

Hi RGF, just letting you know your Mega link in the OP doesn't work - the href field is broken because there's an HTTP before the actual URL starting HTTPS.

@ Everyone
A new Multi Cart Update is available and the front page has been updated.

Stay safe & Happy holidays :)
not trying to dual boot this, trying to run the YSmenu only, is there a way to do that? when i transferred the YSmenu over and try to boot into card i get a menu with a question mark? or is dual boot the only option?

Hello, I've been following this project for about 3 or 4 years from the shadows, i'm using dual boot with YSMenu in an R4I3D from the first outings to the market, just before they used wood as firmware; I wanted to ask if you could give me support for the firmware to the partially translated (to spanish) megaman starforce 3 black ace's rom that circulates on internet (since I think they will not get more versions of the translation than the partially translated) huge thanks if you can read this message and can try to help me with this game, You are the best!

PD: The DS shows the two white windows when i run the game, if you needs the rom, i can send you the file
Sorry for my bad english :D

Hello all.
I have a problem with my microsdcard in combination with my m3 ds real and rgfs ysmenu (the original m3dsrealfirmware behaves worse)
a few games stop working while playing ingamevideos. (for example Kingdomhearts recoded and Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey)
my allday sdcard for ds is a sandisk-32GB-class10-card there the problem occurs.
i tested an old noname-1GB-card and the former notworking games played well.
i guess my card is too fast.

@rgf
is it possible to limit the readspeed with ysmenu?

M3 ds real with dual boot. Ysmenu 7.05 installed. Zelda Spirits Track 4544 (Hash: 84AA2400) works well. Zelda Spirits Track (Rev 1) 6663 (Hash: 4F9E66F0) does not work (both screens are black after Nintendo logo). ¿Different AP?.

Maybe, however the M3 never got updates for half of the revisions out there.

Sure, but I launch both games using Ysmenu. In fact, I launch all the comercial games using Ysmenu. From M3 menu I launch homebrew only. Other games like Art Academy does not work if you launch it with M3 menu but it works perfectly using my configuration with dual boot launching it from Ysmenu. I think that rev1 game use different anti-piracy protection not included in Ysmenu for that game yet.

I have a R4isdhc.com Dual Core 2018 cart. I am currently running the r4i v3.9b kernel. How can I make YSMenue as the primary boot? Is it possible to bypass the timebomb by using it as primary boot?

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though

    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
