Hello,

I am trying to make my R4 clone primary boot in YSMenu. I copied the files from "RetroGameFan Multi Cart Update v7.06/R4i-SDHC YSMenu" on the root of the SD card, but then I will get the "?MENU" screen when booting the system.

The only primary booting kernel which I could get working for my flashcard is the "Firmware v1.85b for R4-SDHC Upgrade/R4i-SDHC Upgrade/R4i-3DS {url} (English) Clone Fix v1.85b (fix)", but in this kernel, most of the games won't start successfully. I can dual boot into YSMenu from Firmware v1.85b, and then it seems to start most games successfully, but I think this is a bit anoying and I would like to boot into YSMenu from the start.

The R4 clone shows "WiFi R4i 3DS (N3DS/NDSi XL/NDSi/NDSL/NDS) {url}" on it's label. I cannot type {url} here because I don't have enough posts yet, but I have attached a picture of the label below.

Can someone please help me to make my R4 clone primary boot in YSMenu?

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.

    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.

    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
