Hacking Guide To Make YSMenu Work On The R4

[omegaultima]

Hey I need some help.
When I open up the dlditool to patch r4tf.dldi or was it ysmenu.nds? it can't locate either of em, as in when I click the button with the 3 dots, it only shows folders.

YSmenu.nds is the file you need to patch. r4tfdldi is the file you use to patch it.

YSmenu.nds is inside the zip file.

thanks, i got that fixed but now i have another problem:

i finished the whole process aside from the optional stuff and i moved everything in my dstt folder into my microsd along with all the original R4 stuff i had( moonshell, _DS_MENU.DAT, etc.) and turned on my ds, and everything appeared messed up:
the top screen didn't display any the names of any of the games i had, the bottom screen had a buncha words all over it, but the games were still selectable, but when i select them it says it can't load em(i still have space on my card). sooo what gives.

-i was thinking it might be b/c when dled the patched 1.17 kernel for dstt, i only moved the eng folder from the original kernel and not the system folder.

I need some help ASAP. I did this and everything runs right until I have to games. They all all stop 3/4 of the way and I left them on for 2 mins and nothing happens. The games are Rythmn Heaven, Pokemon Platinum, Henry Hatworth, and GTA:CW all (U). Also for some reason I had to make a new save for GTA:CW.

I still need help with this.

Error
r4patch.dat

OK(A)

with the latest YSMenu and DSTT firmware
The game is GTA:CW
Please help a noobie!

You need to place r4tf.dldi in the folder.

 

[jason1980]

You need to patch ysmenu.nds with the dldi file. It's step 3.

PLEASE read the thread carefully next time.

I've given up on trying to figure this out myself and am requesting for help.
I've installed YSMenu using many different methods, but the end result is always the same.
Everything works fine except for the roms, the gray loading bar freezes near the end. It might just be taking a really long time, but I've left my DS alone for at least 10 minutes already, and it's still stuck.
I have an official R4, I'm using the save and info libs, and the YSMenu I'm currently using was built with this method.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Ok... tried again, and it worked thanks to this thread! But my GTA is not loading well. Same situation as Slasher.. the grey bar seems to be stuck at the end

official R4 here too

After struggling all day to figure out why none of my backups were loading in YSMenu, I finally figured it out. I fixed the hang at the end of the progress bar by downloading DSTT Firmware 1.17 AND the fake killer disabled version of TTMENU.DAT. You might want to make it more clear in the guide that when you download the latest version of the DSTT firmware you also need to get the version that has the fake killer disabled.

I tried it with boyakkey's pre-patched TTMENU.dat, and it still won't work.
I'm using YSMenu0903270000, if that makes a difference.

then it's an issue with you card, and not the firmware.

just try deleting and re-adding the game. if that fails, you'll probably have to reformat.

I have he same problem with that game, Pokemon Platinum, Henry Hatsworth, Rythmn Heaven

 

[jmacmoe]

The only other thing I can think of that might make a difference is that when I unzipped DSTT 1.17 it had a TTMENU.SYS file in the archive, but 1.16 didn't so I deleted it. The file gets recreated when the DS boots so it can't hurt to try.

 

[slasher12366]

Ok, well formatting it worked, thanks!
I had formatted it earlier with vista's thing, but I guess I screwed up or something.
This time, I believe I used a Panasonic utility.
Again, thanks.

I tried all that, but when I ran the GUI.BAT, my computer gave me an error message and didn't make _DS_MENU.DAT. Need Help!!
