[I am r4ymond]

I'm gonna try it to see if it works.

Since I understand how to get it working now, I'll update my post here with more clear instructions on how to get it working.

1). Take the ttreset.dat that is included in the link and place it in your TTMenu folder.
2). Take the YSMenu.nds (Not an R4 Encrypted .DAT file!) -or- moonshl2_DirectBoot.nds and DLDI patch it for R4.
3). Rename YSMenu.nds -or- moonshl2_DirectBoot.nds to R4BOOT.DAT and place it on the root of your card.
4). Soft Reset with A+B+X+Y+L+R

Spoiler: Advanced instructions for a customized Soft Reset

1). DLDI patch ttreset.dat with the R4's DLDI
2). Open the DLDI patched ttreset.dat in a hex editor and find/replace the following:

• 0000511C: 70 FE FF EB 17 FF FF EB ? 00 00 A0 E1 00 00 A0 E1 (( pþÿë.ÿÿë ? .. á.. á))
• 0000D1A0: 54 54 4D 45 4E 55 ? 52 34 42 4F 4F 54 (( TTMENU ? R4BOOT ))

3). Copy the ttreset.dat to your TTMenu folder, overwriting the old one.
4). DLDI patch the NDS ROM of your choice, the Autoloading/Autobooting one if available.
5). Rename it to R4BOOT.DAT, or whatever you used for the second hex edit.
6). Copy the R4BOOT.DAT, or whatever you used, to the root of your card.

DLDI Patching: http://chishm.drunkencoders.com/DLDI/
Grab the R4(DS) - Revolution for DS DLDI and Win32 GUI patcher.
Place the R4tf.dldi into the DLDI patcher folder, run dlditool32.exe then drag/drop the YSMenu.nds file into the window and press Patch.



If you're still having trouble, I've uplaoded it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?nm4jj4gztj0
They're all ready to go for both Moonshell2.09 and YSMenu. Just drag/drop the files to their folders and overwrite if needed.

Wow! I can't believe it actually worked! Thanks a lot! All you have to do is go to Yasu's page and dl the most recent YSMenu file, patch YSMenu.nds with r4's dldi. Then just rename it to R4BOOT.dat and stick it on the cards root. After that do the hex edits mentioned above on ttreset.dat (or just download the one given in the link above) and voila! It works! Also, you should add the line:
; Default Reset Setting
DEFAULT_RESET=true
to YSMenu.ini if you don't already have it. Thanks again!

 

[twiztidsinz]

Yeah it works... but too bad you can't use it with Moonshell2.

It seems the R4BOOT.DAT -must- be YSMenu, so if you use the soft reset with Moonshell2 it boots right back into the game from YSMenu's autoboot.
Also, you can't alter the "R4BOOT.DAT" to "_DS_MENU.DAT" which would make it a cleaner setup.

 

[flamingo24]

The R4BOOT.DAT is just ysmenu as a file, so renaming to _DS_MENU.DAT won't work but you can open the ttreset.dat with a hex editor and search for the text string R4BOOT.DAT - rename it to something else along with renaming the R4BOOT.DAT. If you don't like the naming. btw renaming the R4BOOT.DAT to R4TF.NDS should allow the user to soft reset moonshell (w/o autobooting) back to ysmenu. If you mean moonshell w/ysloader than, no it won't work.

Edit: Since ysmenu only autoboots nds files, I've found that using a DAT and soft reseting games w/ysloader does work.

So ... how do you do it?

Sorry, I don't really get it.

Sorry, I don't really get it.

Download the ttreset.dat above, place it in the TTMENU folder. Using r4ysauto make ysmenu as a file and rename it to R4BOOT.DAT.

Do you mean the _DS_MENU.dat?

 

[8BitWalugi]

Why can't someone just upload a working R4BOOT.DAT?

I second this! >D

It makes me wonder why it wasn't in the original package...

The R4BOOT.DAT is just ysmenu as a file, so renaming to _DS_MENU.DAT won't workActually, you can use YSMenu.nds as _DS_MENU.DAT so that YSMenu is a firmware replacement for the R4s.
That's how I had used it in the past.

but you can open the ttreset.dat with a hex editor and search for the text string R4BOOT.DAT - rename it to something else along with renaming the R4BOOT.DAT. If you don't like the naming.Nope. You'll run into problems because the file is no longer valid length.
When you add or remove bytes from a file like that, it causes issues.
For example you could change the "R4BOOT.DAT" to "R4MENU.DAT" or "YSMENU.DAT" or something else along those lines because they all are 10 bytes.
But you cannot use _DS_MENU.DAT (12) or R4DS.DAT (8) or R4TF.DAT (8) without causing issues or changing whatever is needed for the file length (which is beyond me).

btw renaming the R4BOOT.DAT to R4TF.NDS should allow the user to soft reset moonshell (w/o autobooting) back to ysmenu. If you mean moonshell w/ysloader than, no it won't work.

Exactly as you said... Not if you're using Moonshell as firmware with YSLoader to boot ROMs since it edits the YSMenu.ini's "autoboot=" line.

It's rather simple, but poorly explained/translated.

Take the ttreset.dat that is included in the link and place it in your TTMenu folder.
Take the YSMenu.nds (Not an R4 Encrypted .DAT file!) and DLDI patch it.
Rename YSMenu.nds to R4BOOT.DAT and place it on the root of your card.

Sweet ass, got it to work. For anyone who can't get it working...

Um, yes. However if you create ysmenu as a NDS file it will not work. You need to make it as a firmware replacement.

QUOTENope. You'll run into problems because the file is no longer valid length.

That is true, I forgot to mention to maintain character length, such as R4BOOT.DAT to TTMENU.DAT would work.

Shoot, you uploaded it a few seconds before me. Touche. (:

All you'd have to do is take YSMenu's NDS file and encrypt it using R4denc: http://filetrip.net/f977-r4denc.html



Anyway.... I'VE GOT SOFTRESET WORKING FOR MOONSHELL (2.09)!!

1). Use the ttreset from above, place it in your TTMenu folder
2). Take moonshl2_DirectBoot.nds and DLDI patch it.
3). Rename it to R4BOOT.DAT and place it on the root.

It works !!!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention !

I know I've used that program for setting up ysloader and moonshell awhile back. As for this soft reset fix and regular ysmenu I just use r4ysauto.

I already suggested this on my previous post. I guess I should have gone into more detail.

Is using MoonShell as a Firmware better than YSMenu?
