Hacking [Tuto] R4i SDHC (and other clones) - How to play new games ?

jan777 · Nov 24, 2010

I tried that but it says "Fake Card, please return to retailer."

also, this is the first few lines in the hex right?

this is from firmware v1.28b r4i-sdhc

It works!

A quick recap for those who just joined us...

The R4i-SDHC (and it's non-i version) are DSTT clones with a somewhat different menu system. In order to get YSMenu to run in an R4i-SDHC card, one has to resolve two issues:1. Fooling YSMenu into thinking it is running on a DSTT
2. Finding a (relatively) seamless way to run YSMenu.First, we need to set up YSMenu as normal. DO NOT patch it with the R4 DLDI driver! Instead, we want to leave the DSTT DLDI driver that it is already patched with and, instead, apply a patch to disable autopatching. (A suitable utility can be found on the DLDI wiki.) This is because the DLDI driver automatically patched by the R4i-SDHC (DEMON IO library) is not recognized by YSMenu, so it does not know what loader to use.

At this point, we can manually run YSMenu from the R4 menu. Now, normally, we would consider copying \YSMenu.nds to \R4.dat and booting directly into YSMenu. This won't work, however, as the firmware on the card seems to expect to see something in the R4.dat file and won't boot otherwise (displays an icon reading "MENU?"). Similarly, it doesn't appear that we can just copy YSmenu.nds to some other file and override the "Game" menu.

This leaves one option- take over the Moonshell button. For this we need to edit the file \R4iMenu\multimedia.ini and replace the contents with the path to YSMenu.nds. Once done, we can select YSmenu from the initial start screen.

okay guys. this is it. This is how to get YSmenu working on this DS.

You CANNOT autoboot it so you just have to link it to the middle button.

Once, I experimented with this and was able to make a moonshellv2 firmware where I can boot commercial roms.

All that I really dont know is how to incorporate the Extlib infolib and savlib in there.

So anyone got ideas?

OK got it.

Steps.

step1.) make a normal YSmenu. Use this http://filetrip.net/f7388-Modified-R4YSaut...TT-1-17a07.html

step2.) download YSmenu (latest) from Yasu's site.

step 3.) rename it to YSmenu0903270000.zip

step4.) unzip the r4ysauto into a folder.

step5.) put the YSmenu zip (do not extract) in that folder.

step7.) click on r4config.bat
put in these settings

set lang=en
set cart=r4
set delrls=yes
set skin=no
set yslang=en
set install=d

step8.) click r4.bat

step9.) receive R4 custom English.zip.
Open it you should see two things a TTmenu folder and a Ysmenu.nds
copy these to the root of your SD card.

Step10.) delete Ysmenu.nds

Step11.) open YSmenu0903270000.zip
copy the YSmenu.nds file
put it into the SD root.

Step12.) download http://dldi.drunkencoders.com/uploads/c/cd/Dldino-apatch.zip
apply patch to Ysmenu.nds

step13.) put firmware v1.28b in SD root. http://r4i-sdhc.com/downloade.asp

Step15.)put a new rom to test. (I tested super scribblenauts)

step16.) boot r4 in DS. click the left icon.
choose YSmenu.nds
the boot your game.

step17.) ?????

Step18.) PROFIT!!11!

*be sure to format your card first.

If you want to link it to the middle icon, rename ysmenu.nds to moonshl2.nds and put it in the moonshl folder.

Fix'D

OT: why do you need to rename it to YSmenu0903270000.zip? doesn't make sense...

jan777 · Nov 24, 2010

because the R4ysauto isnt updated anymore.

ysauto only accepts that file name.

does it make sense to you now?

also, you MUST put the latest extlib.dat savlib.dat infolib.dat ttpatch.dat in the TTmenu folder. or else nothing works.

shave your balls... :|

tnx for the info!

PS i just shaved my balls...

You can also do this to boot TTMenu or Ysmenu using the middle icon..

Put your TTMenu.nds or Ysmenu.nds on Moonshl2 Folder and modify the multimedia_path into

/moonshell2/moonshl2.nds to /moonshl2/TTMenu.nds For TTMenu or /moonshl2/Ysmenu For YsMenu

So everytime i use the middle icon on r4 instead of booting moonshell it boot TTmenu Or YsMenu also you can boot the moonshl2.nds on TTMenu or Ys Menu when you want to use Moonshl..

Ok, anyway I cannot open map.bin with TTdT.exe, even if I modify offset 0x0 to offset 0x26...
We need to decrypt this file to inject extinfo.dat data inside but it would to long.
You would prefer launch YSMenu/TTDS besides your R4i firmware, easier...

rockerzz182 · Nov 24, 2010

I think we stick on what we had for now..because the content of map.bin and extinfo is so different..
maybe we should work out on how to boot automatically Ysmenu Or TTMenu on r4i-sdhc..

CalamityDjenn · Nov 24, 2010

To autoboot YSMenu or TTMenu without doing anything with R4 main menu, you got to edit R4.DAT on root of your sd card, but it has got something different from the TTMenu.dat bootloader aswell, so...

Ok so we cant use the first option to complete change R4 KERNEL for YS Menu or DSTT yet, until the R4.dat file is figured out, right?

(In R4i-SDHC v1.41 wifi)

dude, i wont even dream on Wood on them

darkzero

CalamityDjenn · Nov 25, 2010

Yep, R4.dat needs a fix, and map.bin too.
I don't have time for this these days and I don't have this card neither so it is quite difficult for me to get some motivation to work on that subject, sorry...

darkxero · Nov 25, 2010

Its OK, I will see if I can return them, they my xmas gifts for nephews, I got old R4/wood 4 me, but they have DSi XL so I was really hoping for an alternate kernel, that one that they have suxs alooooooooooottttttt and its no friendly at all for kids their age.

Thanxs anyway for the effort, at least I know where Im with these things for sure now.

xuliko · Nov 25, 2010

Darkzero, does work in card R4isdhc, website r4isdhc.com?

They are similars?

Thank you ^^

darkxero · Nov 26, 2010

I just have the ones from r4i-sdhc sorry dude

, I cant tell.

CalamityDjenn · Nov 26, 2010

I don't even care if it is genuine or fake cause DSTT does not offer kernel updates since Jan. 2009 so...
It is EXACTLY the same manipulation, genuine of not
