Anyone has any clue on how to install YSMENU on acekard 2i?

Thank

This tells how to set up ysmenu on acekard2i, although I think this is the wrong place to ask that question.

the first screenshot just looks like some of the skin files are missing, but I have no clue about the second one.
Is your R4 a genuine one?
I don't think a different version of ysmenu would make any difference.

Thanks again spinal cord. I'm pretty sure my R4 is orig. I purchased it a long time ago. It is one of the old white ones with the spring loaded SD slot that tends to crap out from time to time.

The loader does run up ok and I can flick backwards and forwards through the cover art. It is only when I try to load a game that I get the pink screen shown in my previous post. The corrupted screen shot occurs as soon as the loader has been run if I dldi patch it.

Skin folder looks like this:

After DLDI patching it, Everything appears to be running correctly, but on the bottom screen there's no cover-flow and it just says unknown (AceKard2i)

I just had a look through the code, the only part I can find that might be doing that, is where it saves the name and checked status for each file.
Are you by any chance running DScovery from a read only folder?

I am running DScovery from the desktop which is probably a bad idea. I'll move it to a better location and try again.

Thanks

I just noticed, there is no check to see if the data folder (or the cover folder for that matter) exist. Next time you test, tray adding (if they are not there) a 'data' folder and 'covers' folder in the same location ad DScovery.exe

There wasn't a data folder with the download.

Anyone getting only 'unknown' on the bottom screen...

This is because the card has not updated properly though DScovery.exe. DScovery creates a list of all the file which you want to display in the coverflow, for some reason this has not worked properly. If you have a look at the file system/files.dat in notpad (or similar) it should contain a list of codes, either 32 or 4 characters long. If it does not, the run DScovery again and update the card.

Also, don't forget to manually add a data folder on your PC before running DScovery.exe:

@Mantis:I get the same problem as you, it all runs properly (all of the skin files) until I run a game then the top screen turns pink apart from the icons and the bottom screen freezes

I guess it is possible I have a non genuine R4. I have not had any troubles until now, except for the SD slot which can be fixed by squeezing the cartridge slightly to get the SD card to lock in.

I tried a new installation of YSmenu using the following tutorial but had the same result

I Have just tried original r4 firmware 1.18 and several versions of ysmenu ranging from v07 to v12. All have identical results when running patched and un-patched versions of DScovered.nds as shown in my previous posts. It looks as if the problem is more to do with the old R4v1 cartridge I am using than the firmware being used.

I guess I will just have to be patient and see if future updates fix the problem or alternatively I could finally retire the R4 and buy an acekard. Does anyone know a good place to buy one online in the UK?

there is no files.dat

and every time i try to update the card i get an error part way thru that there are illegal characters in the path

Cluny,

manually add a data folder on your PC before running DScovery.exe:

If you read the thread, he notes that those are not yet programmed, the they are for "Settings", "ROM Information", and "Favorite ROMS/GAMES" respectively...

I am sorry to ask but does commercial rom-loading work on acekard or not?(akaio 5.1)

I got the same thing a few pages back, you will have to back up all your files and reformat your microsd

Nope, I did try, but the loader doesn't like akaio much at all. Sorry.

 

[basher11]

can i use this with moonshell 2?

[a stupid question, but i just need to know.....]

Hey Spinal, is it possible to put a rearranging function into the win application? What I mean is to change the order of the files when being displayed.
