Homebrew Commercial ROM Loading with MoonShell 2 & YSMenu Guide

[driverzx]

I don't know how to see the filepath, 'cause I don't know what it is.

 

[jurassicplayer]

...Well, I don't exactly know how you can change to ini file to be correct if you don't know what a filepath is...
First thing to do is to click here. It's not very often to meet someone that doesn't know what a filepath is.

Anyways, just go to your MicroSD and go to the folder that you have your ysmenu.nds in. Now, type the folder names in the order you went through them (the folders you entered to get to the file) and separate each folder name with an "\" and place an "\" after the last folder name as well. Now put the file name ("ysmenu.nds") after the last "\" and that is your filepath for ysmenu.nds.

Now that you have this filepath, go to your ini file that you couldn't have possibly fixed before if you didn't know what a filepath was, and place this where it says "\ysmenu\ysmenu.nds".

Then do the same process for the ysmenu.ini. After that it should work, and if it still says the file is missing, read up some more on filepaths and learn how to use them (they are very helpful).

I'm not as 1337 as you, I'm giving up.
Please, anyone just upload the firmware.

 

[jurassicplayer]

-_-" It has nothing to do with 1337 or not...The only way we can do anything for you regarding that is if you can give us a filepath, plus we can't just give you ysmenu...

Here, I made this as simple as I possibly could.
All you have to do is unzip this folder somewhere on your computer, double click the file that says "Click Me" and put in the drive letter (I'm guessing you at least know what a drive is) and then upload the output.png onto a image hosting site (imageshack.us) and show me the picture. And then I can help you out so that it works...
(this took my noobly self one and a half hours to figure out since I had no prior experience in this and pretty much wasted all of my study time for my final...)

lol, helping people out is more amusing than studying (lots of things are more amusing than studying). But I wasn't expecting it to take that long to learn how to make a batch file -_-", I kept forgetting what thing did what and then I had to look it up again xD. Plus, who wouldn't help out someone that doesn't know what a filepath is...Some things in this world are going to have to be learned for the online society to continue.
xD Just imagine what would happen if nobody knew what a filepath was (chaos, absolute chaos).

Anyways, I may or may not have passed my final, but meh I gained rudimentary knowledge in making a batch file.

-edit-
I'm guessing the guy doesn't need help anymore since I saw a thread with him talking about R4ysauto and A2h's generator (something like R4ysauto>A2h, can't really recall since I'm up way past the peak of my congnitive thinking, but it was a loss well used, I got to read a good manga xD).

Got it to work now, accept Jump Ultimate Stars, it gives two white screens.

I completed the install process for the standard R4, but I still get an error when trying to launch commercial NDS files in moonshell 2. That, and if I start ysmenu via another program, it has this strange bug where its own boot text sticks around and obscures the information icons, and every rom i try to load says "NO_BOOT_LOADER".

I'm using the latest ysmenu with moonshell 2.08

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=190959&st=15

Plz PM to me and I'll send you my test version of NDSLink. I have launched 2564 on MoonShell 2.08/akaio.

 

[princeEyeless]

its working on me but when i want to play games it have a problem..R4 SDHC

 

[princeEyeless]

IS this working for R4 SDHC??because when i loading the moonshell 2.03 its says [rom loading failed]fatinitdefault error! pls help me T_T

 

[jurassicplayer]

Calm down a little. Most people don't see posts for at least a day much less an hour and ten minutes. It should work for R4 SDHC (as I do believe some people have reported that it works, but I don't have an R4 SDHC so I can't really tell you for sure). Judging from what you are getting back, it sounds like a problem with your ysmenu setup instead of a moonshell2 problem so try to reinstall your ysmenu and check everything to make sure it is all correct.

 

[princeEyeless]

yeah finally after 10 years it works..hahah..tnx for this nice guide..happy new year to all 'R4 SDHC user'

 

[princeEyeless]

can u help me w/ my problem..because when i want to exit to the moonshell but its says 'cannot located R4tf.nds'..what should i do??pls help

 

[jurassicplayer]

Well, that just means that moonshell 2 doesn't have anything to boot when you click "Exit to Firmware". Depending on what sort of R4 clone you have, it may be different (some are TTDS clones, R4 clones, etc. and so they have different files and things).
If you could post up the website you use to update your R4SDHC, I might be able to figure out a way to help you find the resetmse you need.
I believe the resetmse only apply when moonshell2 is not autobooted directly (unlike the original R4 where _DS_MENU.DAT is swapped). So, if the firmware currently used still remains (as in, when you turn on your DS, it goes to the R4SDHC menu) then you would have to find the resetmse to your firmware.
As an alternative, you can just substitute the resetmse needed with unneon's resetmse for ysmenu so that when you "Exit to Firmware", ysmenu is loaded. To do so, just grab a copy of the resetmse and paste it in the resetmse folder of your moonshl2 folder. Be sure that it is named "R4TF.nds".

 

[princeEyeless]

yeah i finally did it..thanks for your help..advance happy new year sir..more blessings

 

[bekar]

Just ignore this post.
It's working now.
There was no problem.

 

[bekar]

ACK!
Sorry, it IS working now. What an idiot I am.
For some reason it wasn't working before, but oh well...
Is there a way to support cheats with YSLoader?

 

[jurassicplayer]

Is there a way to support cheats with YSLoader?

Well, there is the usual ways of loading ysmenu first and then changing the cheats, but apart from that, nope.

 

[Xenon++]

Is there a way to support cheats with YSLoader?

Currently no. I have asked to Yasu but he said cheats were OK on his environment.

That's one of reasons why I have bought Acekard2i in addition of DSTT.

YSMenu doesn't allow multiple installation (cannot modify internal resource due to protection), so AUTO_BOOT resetter is possibly needed...
#Anyway I might release resource protection auto remover (first edition in June but kept secret for 6 months). It's 10 months after YSMenu final release. 2 months before 1 year.

 

[Xenon++]

http://www.mediafire.com/file/5tddytjymdz/ysboot.7z Read following post

YSMenu boot by Xenon

This clears AUTO_BOOT in ysmenu.ini then boot /YSMenu/YSMenu.nds.
# in Acekard, please call from akmenu. DLDI in AKAIO doesn't work.

ttmenu.dat: ttio dldi-patched. Use it as DSTT kernel. Now I can safely use ysloader...

Caution: when clearing AUTO_BOOT, this directly calls _FAT_rename_r() because original rename() is broken. Be careful.

Now on DSTT I can safely use ysloader while setting ysmenu as kernel (no cheat

)

#I have decided to release ysmenu resource protect auto remover on April Fool day.
#(It is true I have U2Core 090327, which should be impossible though)
