Bug report for 7.05: Lunar Knights will every now and then crash if you play the game with Boktai 1 inserted, which unlocks a special feature - it lets you charge the energy using the solar sensor. It doesn't happen with Sakura.

I haven't tried these two yet, but there are two new 100% English translations which I've noticed aren't in your supported list: Kuroshitsuji and D.Grayman, both are here on GBAtemp and Romhacking. They might still work though.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Anyone had any luck getting Etrian Odyssey III to work with this? Sometimes I can't even load my save, but when I can I almost always end up freezing when just switching between the shop, inn, guild, etc.
Have you tried getting an AP patch for the game or downloading Deadskullzjr cheat database and using the AP patch cheat?

Someone posted on this page this:

Owlman:
"The following games must be PATCHED to work on a DSTT :

5213 - YLUP - Last Window The Secret of Cape West (E)(SUXXORS) PATCHED
5233 - BJ3E - Etrian Odyssey III The Drowned City (U)(HADOUKEN) PATCHED"

I cannot get my timebomb cart to launch YSMenu. (red ? CARD error)

My cart is an R4i v1.4.1 (WiFi enabled) purchased november 2010.

Written below the version info is r4i-sdhc . com,
and the rear side has a shiny "Truth Inquiry" sticker (never peeled)

I've followed the guide to a T, many times. I've even tried replacing the provided R4.dat with this one:
/attachments/ysmenu-primary-boot-7z.82447

If anyone else has any pointers I'd appreciate it. I guess I'll stick to the stock kernel until I buy a new non-bomb version

I couldn't get RetroGameFan's DLL kernel to work with the R4i-Blue v1.6 but I found that you can use the "DSTTi-Clone YSMenu" to set up a primary boot.
The person who was having issues with this card a few pages back seems to have resolved their issue but I'll post this in case anyone finds it useful.

-Make a backup of your Micro SD cards contents, just in case you want to restore it.
-Reformat the Micro SD as described in the first post.
-Copy contents of "DSTTi-Clone YSMenu" from "RetroGameFan's Multi Card Update 7.06" to the root of the micro SD card.
-Rename TTMenu.dat to R4I.HK on the SD card. Make sure you have file extensions visible.
-Copy TTMenu.dat from "DSTTi-Clone YSMenu" to the root of the SD card.

The files on your SD card should be:
The TTMenu folder
The Games folder
R4I.HK
TTMenu.dat

And you should be good to go.
This works without having TTMenu.dat as well. However the soft reset function will not work as it needs TTMenu.dat to get back to YSMenu.
Alternatively you could edit "ttreset.dat", found in the TTMenu folder, with a hex editor and replace the TTMENU.DAT line with R4I.HK.

Also a big thanks to RetroGameFan and those who made updating these cards possible

Will YSmenu work on this card?View attachment 142390

I have that same card as well and ysmenu doesn't load certain games consistently at all (sonic collection & yugioh 2011, etc.). I switched back to the time bomb kernel for the time being :/

I have a similar problem with this card under YSMenu as well ... :(

- Yu-Gi-Oh! 2011 Over The Nexus - random crashes (with AP patch)
- Bejeweled 3 - freezes at random points in the game play

Hey there. I came here because I was hoping to be able to run YSMenu on an R4i Gold 3DS+ (redacted), but I couldn't manage to do it.
...

Just curious if you were ever able to get your r4 gold cart working with YSmenu as a primary kernel.

I have the same one.

Two things:

#1:
YSmenu is mainly based for flashcarts that use the DSTT kernel as a base.

#2:
You are running Wood R4, that kernel is actually better than any DSTT based kernel out there. The only reason that it hasn't received updates versus YSmenu is because Wood R4 doesn't need updates for game compatibility currently, YSmenu actually has to play catch up to meet the standards of Wood R4. YSmenu is generally just an alternative kernel mainly for time bomb based cards.


Before anyone gets their info mixed up. The R4i Gold 3DS Plus and R4i SDHC Gold Pro are NOT the same flashcarts, the Gold Plus model uses Wood R4, which is generally all anyone ever needs, the Gold Pro is a time bomb flashcart using a cloned DSTT kernel.

Hello everyone, here I installed ys menu 7.06 on r4i gold pro 2019 site .r4isdhc, because here I am looking for the way to install MENUdo on my map for the moment I installed it oddly
I put ys menu on my card I put the file menuDo ttds above and put in the folder TTMENU / YSMENU.INI an auto boot a MENUdo.nds the problem is that when I start a game it works well but the game changes my YSmenu.ini file to autoboot on the game in question the only way back to MENUdo is to make l + r + a + b + x + y + up + down + left + right but the problem in itself is that I have a ds i and of course but button l + r works half
can you help me that the file ysmenu.ini does not change the auto boot a MENUdo.nds thanks
for info I am under fedora 30 kde and I already try to put the YSmenu.ini folder TTMENU read only but each time the card r4 takes over the right on the file can you help me please
