10. Put some games on (any folder, I'm using \Games), and coverart in the \DSision\covers folder (named same as rom, adding .bmp so cartname.nds.bmp)

 

Thanks biggie. But...when you load a game, is it suppose to go to YSMenu? I've heard you can go straight to the selected game. Anyhow, thanks much!

 

The only difference from my microsd content and yours is that I have a few homebrew files needed for specified homebrew to execute (DSOrganize, DSDictionary, moonshl, etc.). Other than that, my R4 directories are the exact same.

 

Well I'm pretty darn certain my R4 is real, since I got it before the waves of flashcarts hit.

Anyways, I got it working now, it seems that I mixed up the files r4dldi.dat with the actual dldi patch. Wow right? Thanks a lot, this works great. But since I'm new to the YSMenu thing as well, is there a way I can use cheats? I recall something about USRCheat, but I'm not sure where to put it.

While I'm on the subject, if you do access the YSmenu, don't check the reset options for game. I selected it for some homebrew and my MicroSD needed to be reformatted.

 

This is actually...quite usefull.Kudos for the guide

 

"Try this one then.................It's a preconfigured DSision2 for R4 "

glowy .Thankyou for this, Not really into this scene, my daughter has an orig R4 & I will give it a go for her

 

Thanks for your guide, but still I still can't play the games directly it will go to the YSmenu and if I load a game there it will ask for creating a savefile even there's already a savefile?(I've got an original R4DS)

Any suggestions?

 

Wich files can be taken out?

 

If it takes you to YSMenu instead of the game, you either have a TTMENU folder or something went wrong when DLDI patching.
What happens when you load a game is that DSision2 edits YSMENU.INI and edits this line
[YSMENU]
AUTO_BOOT=

 

but r4ysauto builds ysmenu for you. it's a lot easier to build ysmenu and pull the *.ini file out than to build the whole thing manually. unless it needs to be specifically built for use with dsision2.

and as far as which version you want, it will depend on your card. if it's an r4 or a clone, you want the version from the r4 directory. if you want it to boot as firmware, you pull the _DS_MENU.DAT. all of this information is in the readme that accompanies dsision2. your guide was verbatim to the readme in places, so i know you this.

i haven't played much with dsision2, as i found it to be too slow, and my games weren't alphabetized. it is gorgeous, though, and i hope spinal continues to improve it.
