So you're trying to replace the main R4 loader with YSMenu? Or are you trying to replace Moonshell with YSMenu? What exactly are you trying to do? Your message makes no sense.

edit : And I'll say it again, don't even think about releasing one of your "hacked firmwares" bundled with YSMenu.

Then you don't have to encrypt it. Just rename it from YSMenu.nds to _ds_mshl.nds or whatever it's supposed to be called.

Like I said before, if you'd have taken the time to actually read the whole post rather than just the instructions you'd know that YSMenu can't run homebrew on the R4, just .NDS roms and .GBA/.NES/.GB/.GBC files if you've got a Slot 2 cart and the right emulators.

Why aren't you just loading it using the R4 loader?

QUOTE(MasterPenguin @ Aug 31 2008, 06:08 PM) Just use the R4 firmware..Then for games that don't work, load up YSMENU. Everything will work fine, doing that.

thats too much work....

It's not too much work if you change the 2nd menu (moonshell) into YSmenu, and looking at oyur post you did change it. In the r4 menu choose the first one to load r4 menu and mid option to load YSmenu. How is that too much work??

ill say it once more.

1.when i use ysmenu.nds it wont boot games(like metroid prime hunters) it says "unsupported dldi name"
2.when i use _ds_menu.dat it boots games great loads the perfect

i just want to have ysmenu.nds as _ds_mshl.nds but it dose the same as 1.

i have dldi patched with dldirc for r4

so straight to the point i want to boot games from ysmenu.nds but it says unsupported dldi name

i heard you can decrypt it to an .nds file but when i do it give me output.dat what the ****

Why aren't you just loading it (the game that is) using the official R4 loader? It works just fine and there's no messing about.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
