Thanks for the post! I'm sure people will be happy to see it.


I realize this is for DSTT+YSMenu, but does anyone have an idea why this won't work on R4+YSMenu?

Normally, the game will sit at about 15% loaded for a while then fails with errcode=-4
With the infolib.dat file in the TTMenu folder, it gets to 10% and quickly fails with Errcode=-5
There doesn't seem to be a difference in using the included extinfo.dat/ttpatch.dat or where they are put.

Big thanks mate

This game also works with the latest infolib.dat update from gamewiki......

dsm0097.zip

Extract extinfo.dat, infolib.dat & savlib.dat & copy them to the TTMenu folder in the root of your card.

After a bit of testing, you MUST use the ttpatch.dat from the post above and place it in the YSMenu folder in the root of your card.

ONLY works when loading YSMenu. Doesn't work when loading TTMenu - loading results in Errcode=-5 in TTMenu

Unfortunately C.O.P. - The Recruit still doesn't work with this update.......Keep on using the patched version....oh well!

Hope this helps everyone

P.S. twiztidsinz : I don't own an R4, but do you need to rename ttpatch.dat to the R4 version : r4patch.dat? I would think but could be wrong that ttpatch.dat is for the DSTT only

Any hope on getting 'Wheres Wally' and 'Combat Dragons (fixed version)' working ?

both just black screen on start up; both these 2 games work on other carts.

You're exactly right... I needed to rename ttpatch.dat to r4patch.dat.
However, now I instantly get a different error: "fatInitDefault error!" when I try to load any ROM.
The solution to this problem that I cound find was to DLDI patch YSMenu.nds (_DS_MENU.DAT), but mine is already patched.
I formatted my card, and I've deleted the old TTMENU.SYS and YSMENU.ARP so they get remade...
I've even tried DLDI patching the tt/r4patch.dat file (doesn't work

).

Ah well... Thanks for the help retro!

FIXED IT ON THE R4!!!!!

Big thanks to retrogamefan, dante99 and 2ch for making this possible.


Download the modified infolib files here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zwmn5mm2koz
These files are the SAME EXACT FILES you will get from 2ch's 2009/12/01 infolib file but includes an updated r4patch.dat taken from dante99's post.
I compared the modified ttpatch.dat from dante99's post to the original ttpatch.dat from the unofficial 1.17a07 and applied the changes to the r4patch.dat from my compiled YSMenu.

Enjoy!

I know this is off topic but in response :

The AP needs to be better worked/cracked before Where's Waldo (U) or Combat of Giants Dragons (U) will work on a DSTT. Hopefully they get added to extinfo.dat

A clean rom of Combat of Giants Dragons (U) (took some searching to find it!) will work up to the title screen with YSMenu/1.17a07 before AP kicks in and scambles the graphics & freezes the game. I can get slightly further with a converted .sav from my DSLinker (which plays the clean rom perfectly) but again AP kicks in when you go to select any playing option
