So, I've been wondering if there's a way to decrypt a R4's _DS_MENU.dat file and rename it to a .nds file so it can run perfectly on YSMenu. I tried using r4denc and managed to do so, but when I load the .nds file with YSMenu I just get 2 black screens. Before someone asks why would I want the R4 firmware if I already have YSMenu working...well, a game I want to play (Rune Factory 2 undubbed) doesn't work but it does work in a R4. Weird, huh?

Anyone willing to help?

Why you ask to do that ???
Try harder next time.

I just need it to play one single game. The others work perfectly on YSMenu but I have my doubts if they will work the same when using the R4. That's why I prefer to have YSMenu as my firmware.

I don't think it's possible...

However, you can copy the R4 Firmware to your card ("_system_" folder and _DS_MENU.DAT) and build YSMenu as an auto-running NDS file ("TTMenu" folder, DEFAULT.NDS + DEFAULT.SAV).
This will make YSMenu load "instantly", and when you want to switch to the R4 firmware, just hold "B" button at start up.

although creating a default.nds file would work it adds a few seconds to the start up time which could be annoying if you only want to use it for one game. What about having 2 _DS_MENU.dat files and putting one in a directory then swapping them around with DSOrganize when you need to run that game. Do you know why that certain game only works on the R4 firmware? I got error 81 when I tried to boot certain games using YSMenu but if you format it from FAT32 to FAT or vice versa it should solve problems like that.

If you get it on new games using R4+YSMenu, like Assassin's Creed II: Discovery, it's possible your R4Patch.dat needs to be updated.
Here's the one from 1.17a12: http://www.mediafire.com/?n2z3itomynm

Guess I'll just use the YSMenu as a .nds file. Thanks again, dude. : )
