Hacking Guide to installing + uninstalling YSmenu on the R4

[rubenpaul]

Well, yours is pretty complicated. It's probably better to use r4YSAuto. Much easier.

that`s what you think,,I have tried YSauto multiple times and it keeps being stuck at loading.... TNX for the guide Im going to use it soon...

PLEASE keep in mind that if your flashcard is a clone, and it isn't based on the r4 firmware, this guide will NOT work. If your r4 clone's firmware is based on the dstt or acekard firmware, use their respective guides for installing ysmenu onto them.


List of r4 clones that ysmenu DOES NOT work on:
1. R4 Neo.
2. R4 SDHC.
3. R4i Pro Gold.

According to bluelaserman's guide, I understand that I should infact run YsMenu, as an NDS form. Which means I boot up my R4, then tap YSMenu. I can't confirm anything yet, as it is still not even half way done loading. Is this the only way to play MLiB? It is taking a very long time so I'm under the assumption that I made an error somewhere.

EDIT: Nevermind, it appears that since I have the original R4, I shouldn't have a problem with it anyways. My problem is at load, the screen goes white. This is only if I run using YsMenu. If I run it with the standard R4 firmware, it'll turn black after selecting a file to save with.

Thanks for this method it has worked well until... Ok I've been playing this game for 3 days I started it up to play today and anytime I use Mario's Jump attack in battle the game completely locks up... I can use everything else with the exception of Luigi's jump attack making the game stutter. I'm using YSMenu with the O.G. R4 any Ideas?

Hey guys,

I got a R4 SDHC card with a 2GB Micro SD card. I would like to know first whether is it possible to update it to have the firmware listed in the steps in the first post. If this is possible, I would like some advice on how to get it working.

Currently, after following all the steps whenever I try to load my Card up it just says 'loading'. I think this is maybe because I have not downloaded the official firmware for use in the creation of the firmware, even though when I click the link which directs me to where I can download the official one, above the download link it says unofficial.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Shane.

The guide needs to be updated with the latest DSTT firmware 1.17a12.

the r4dldi replacement file from mediafire is not accessable,can i find it anywhere else

I was following the guide, and as far as I know, I have a clone, since it's an "R4 Deluxe". Anyways, I was able to get YSMenu itself working, but whenever I try to load a game, the loading bar gets stuck maybe about 75% loading before it hangs. Any help?

Damn this thing is complicated....

i downloaded everything you told me. there is no tt.dat.

 

[skyonosk]

hi. i've installed YSmenu on an original R4 and have followed the guide as closely as possible. when i try to load a game, the loading bar gets stuck. i have followed the suggestions in the FAQ and reformatted my SD card with same settings as shown in the images (except i only have 1 GB of space on my card). but the loading bar still gets stuck. any suggestions on how i can get my games to load properly?

edit: i repeated the entire procedure in the guide and got my ysmenu working on R4. i dunno what i did wrong the first time but i got it right this time. so plz disregard my above question

Glad to see you up and running with ysmenu!

I updated the dstt fw to 1.17a12.

 

[bitonio6]

the soft reset work with your R4 and YSMenu?

 

[triassic911]

No, soft reset does not currently work with ysmenu on the r4.

 

[bitonio6]

Have you seen this information

"(remember to edit YSMenu.ini to have "DEFAULT_RESET=true" if it isn't that already)"

here -> http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=149734

i dont try it, but i never seen this "DEFAULT_RESET" ?!
