Do your games boot at all? Have you tried following the formatting instructions from Retro's thread?

@Lilith Valentine i have no idea what i did but i got the cheats working heres some info that might help you in case others have a similar issue

first thing i did was download the official kernel for my r4 cart and i put that on the root of my sd card i then took the files from the ysmenu RGF download that i got from this site and pasted the files from the R4I-SDHC folder from that download into the root of my sd card i then placed the usrcheat.dat file you gave me into the ys menu folder and voila it works with cheats now thanks for the help

i can only assume adding my official kernel was the issue that was missing idk tho

@Lilith Valentine can you look at these screenshots and tell me if i got it setup right as you can see i have ysmenu in my root but i also have an r4i folder in the root as the only way i could get cheats working was if i put my cards official kernel on the root as well

edit any idea if the time bomb is removed i have no way of knowing if ysmenu boots because when i turn on my ds it shows the bomberman game but then goes to a second menu that shows a controller if i click on the controller icon it will take me to the game menu where i can enable cheats and load ds games

The timebomb is part of the official kernel and was currently moved to somewhere in 2024, I think September. The official kernel seems like it's always going to have a timebomb that moves forward, but who knows how long that will last. My suggestion is to ask on Retro's thread and see If anyone there might know what's going on. I am a bit stumped and my only guess (and this is a guess) is to try making another folder called "YSMenu" and copying the content from the TTMenu folder into that folder and seeing what happens when you have both of those folders. It's a random guess at best but the most I can think of testing.

      i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
    • Veho @ Veho:
      Yeah but not like this.
    • Veho @ Veho:
      It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
    • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
      the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
    • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
      so..... yeah
    • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
      we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
    • Veho @ Veho:
      Booo.
    • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
      same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
    • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
      but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
    • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
      it's dumb
    • Veho @ Veho:
      Maybe.
    • Veho @ Veho:
      There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
    • Veho @ Veho:
      But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
    • Veho @ Veho:
      Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
    • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
      Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
