I downloaded it from the link you provided earlier and as soon as I ran r4.bat a .nds file was created instantly only after asking 2 questions, which were language related. That's it. And yes, I've tried deleting settings.ini and running r4config once again and editing the options, but it stills keeps creating a YSMenu.nds file.
How odd. It certainly doesn't do that on my computer.

QUOTE(.Darky @ Dec 12 2009, 09:09 PM) Also, does the new Zelda REALLY needs a 1mb save file? I'm almost close to finish the game and haven't encountered any problems so far

I too have not encountered any problems with a 512Kb save file (I'm at the boss in the Fire Temple) but the release info says the save type is 8Mb (1MB) and many people have had corrupted save data in the latter stages of the game. I figured it was better to be safe than sorry.

EDIT: Changed the capitalization of the megabyte vs megabit. Happy now?

r0man · Dec 12, 2009

I think we should lay down the capitalization of megabyte vs megabit

MB = megabyte
Mb = megabit
mb = ???????

pjmorie · Dec 12, 2009

Is it possible to use the 1.17a12 to generate a version of YSMenu that will work on an R4i-SDHC card (update for the DS 1.4 firmware) ?

Do I need to get this Firmware patch for a DSTTi???

Technically....
B = Byte
b = bit
8 bits = 1 Byte

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_prefix#List_of_SI_prefixes
M = Mega (1,000,000)
m = mili (0.001)

However, two general rules apply:
1). No one will ever use "m" as in miliByte or milibit.
2). More often than not, people mean "b" to be 'byte'.

House Spider · Dec 13, 2009

I prefer the Byte system than the bit and its 1MB and 8Mbit.

bitonio6 · Dec 13, 2009

In French we have no problem with that

1Mb = 1 Méga bit
1Mo = 1 Méga octet

So 1Mo = 8Mb

Simple and more easier

About the kernel, i hope we will see soon a 1.17a13 for the ZELDA Eu...

Thanks ashley for your futur kernel

r0man · Dec 13, 2009

Bitonio, I 'spose that'd work if we all were French

bitonio6 · Dec 13, 2009

YES...

But in English, the Mb MB its sometime used badely by some shop

And you think you buy a 8GB microSD card and you receive a 1GB...

r0man · Dec 13, 2009

Erm, companies here normally (as in always) measure by bytes instead of bits.

I've never heard of or seen MicroSD sold in 'Gigabit' sizes.
I do know that GBA carts were sold in 'Megabit' size. But I think that's due to their smaller capacity.

Also unrelated but somewhat relevant, harddrives are sold at odd sizes.
Example, a 500GB harddrive isn't 500GB. It's 500,000,000,000Bytes or 465.661GB

r0man · Dec 13, 2009

Hard drives show up like that because the manufacturers and OS manufacturers measure the gigabyte differently (1000mb vs 1024mb respectively)

im not shure to understant what you talking about?!

You said, you newer saw a microSD card With "GB" on it?!

What is written on this one?

If you see on a website "8G microSD" you can receive a 1GB

r0man · Dec 14, 2009

Not really, all the people who make microSD cards measure the capacity in Gigabytes.

lukands · Dec 14, 2009

I give up on the password, I didn`t think I was this stupid.

Oh sure now it makes sense, and now I really do feel stupid!

bitonio6 said:

GigaBYTE. Which is normal.

If it was 2Gigabit, then it would be a 256MegaBYTE card like this:

Well.. "8G" =/= "8GB".
I have never seen a card measured in "G" or "Gb"

big B = BYTE
small b = bit

drwhojan · Dec 14, 2009

Big thanks to Ashley! for makeing this grate firmware...

raulpica · Dec 14, 2009

Remove that password ASAP. If it wasn't posted directly until now, there was a precise reason to do that.

EDIT: Well done.

Elritha · Dec 14, 2009

That password was annoying. I got the hint quite quickly. Unfortunately I decided to spell it with 'spaces' and it took me awhile to realise all lower case, no spaces.
Oh well, thanks for the great firmware.
