Answer: You're using an R4

I don't even think freezing at the logo was the antipiracy effect in this rom. Wasn't it lack of train commands?

You probably need a new rom if that one just hangs at the Nintendo logo. If you're using an original R4, you're gonna need the crack, or YSmenu built with the lastest unofficial DSTT firmware.

Wrong section, but the simple solution is to get YSMenu: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=163443



If you're confident with your ability to follow instructions, You can use Moonshell2 as firmware and get it to load Commercial ROMs using Normatt's patched overlay.dll and Xenon++ YSLaunch, which will fairly closely simulate the M3's Sakura firmware.

Moonshell 2.09: http://filetrip.net/f9237-MoonShell-%28Lit...ck%29-2-09.html

• NOTE: You -WILL- get an error message (Error: dldi-head not found) this is fine and expected. Continue as normal.

[*]When it is complete, a window will open with TTMenu folder and YSMenu.nds, move them to the same location as your moonshl2 folder and _DS_MENU.DAT.[*]Move the YSMenu.nds file into the TTMenu folder.[*]Download the latest infolib.dat and savlib.dat from denieru7's Weekly infolib site and place them into the TTMenu folder, overwriting the old files.[*]Commercial ROM loading setup[*]Extract Normatt's overlay.dll and move it to the ..\moonshl2\internal\ folder.[*]Extract Xenon++'s YSLaunch nds.yslaunch.nds and rename it to _hn.HugeNDSLoader.nds[*]Extract Xenon++'s YSLaunch nds.yslaunch.nds and rename it to _vh.VeryHugeNDSLoader.nds[*]Extract Xenon++'s YSLaunch config.ini and open it in Notepad or another editor, change the paths to:
