Hacking Guide to installing + uninstalling YSmenu on the R4

[DudeEnoch]

Woops.

 

[DudeEnoch]

HAH! Figured why YS menu isnt updating!
Roms hardest game to work Mario and Lugi: BIS has Romulation using a YsMenu/ BIS package!
That aint right!

 

[Prime_Zero]

R4i Pro Gold?
Never heard of that one, does he mean R4i Gold?
Oh well hopefully my Acekard will ship soon

Does Yasu update YSMENU any more? It doesn't seem so...

Why my questions are always systematically ignored?

Btw can you confirm that the latest version of YSMENU available is YSmenu + Unofficial DSTT Kernel V1.17a12?
It would be so nice to have a list of the YSMENU chronologically released.

 

[andPS2]

YSmenu updates depend on TTmenu updates
and TTmenu hasnt been updates since
Unofficial DSTT Kernel V1.17a12

so the real question is when will the DSTT team
have a new update?

FAQ

I've made this section due to some common questions... This section will be ever growing.

Q. Games start loading but then the loading bar freezes. What's up?
A. It's a simple solution. Reformat you sd card with this tool. Be sure to back everything up!

Q. Games take forever to load!
A. Yes, certain games take forever to load. You can fix this by downloading the latest infolib.dat file from here. Be sure to show denieru7 some love!

Q. Where can I get the latest cheats?
A. At http://cheats.gbatemp.net/ and make sure you download the appropriate file for your flashcard. If it is the original r4, choose cheat.dat. If it is a r4 clone, choose usrcheat.dat. (I explain cheats thoroughly at the end of my second guide)

Q. Can I play Mario & Luigi: Bower's Inside Story, Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver, and other problematic games?
A. Yes, with the newest update to the dstt kernal, you can. You shouldn't have problems with any nds game at the moment. (original r4 only)


Q. The backgrounds for YSMenu aren't working!
A. Open them up in paint and save them as a 24-bit bitmap (.bmp) file and it should work.

Q. What if all else fails?
A. Honestly, get an Acekard. Big bang for your buck or euro or whatever.

Can anyone with the DSTT Kernel for R4 please confirm this to be true for HG/SS? Are there no more freezes?

JAP version only.

That's odd. Can you run other .exe files?

Try formatting it using SD Formatter. If that doesn't work, try using another sd card if you can (preferably one with a higher class).

Yes.. that's the weird thing. I tried downloading it again but still doesn't work.

edit: I've searched on google and it seems that other people have problems with it too. I haven't seen a solution though.

ey,

nice guide

but when i try to change the font colour or the background it doesn't change

does any1 know how to let it work?
and how can i run a GBA game? i read something about just putting an emulator in the DSTT folder. but i tried that and it didn't work

and when i want to activate cheats, i get a white screen if i try to activate them. but maybe that stops when i have the background and font colour.

 

[wannawanna]

Lol ty but I was just wondering if R4i-SDHC was the same as the one without the dash.

 

[Pulka]

Help me!
Whenever I try to boot up a game, it says
"Error
r4patch.bat
can't open loader"

Howdo I fix this?
I am not using a clone.

sorry, idon´t have a _ds_menu.dat anymore...
but on your folder there are two 0 byte files. that could be the error.
try searching the r4dldi.dat at google. there should be one with about 90kb (more or less)
and the _ds_menu.dat never should have 0 kb but i don´t know why this is on your card...
try reinstalling all files.
