I am also in the same situation. I tried both methods provided in this thread and I am still stuck on the file selecting screen.
One thing that I found to be rather strange when setting up YSMENU is that my r4.bat file requests YSMENU08-something while I have the 09-something, so I rename my file and the patch goes on, but the game still doesn't work. Would that be my problem?
Try using this r4ysauto with YSMenu0903270000. I modified it to work with the latest YSMenu without renaming anything. It also contains DSTT v1.17a07 (the one that fixes Pokemon HG/SS, KH and M&L:BiS).

QUOTE(.Darky @ Sep 28 2009, 02:08 AM) Ugh! It won't let me select a file to start a new game. I've followed all the steps provided here. I'm using an original R4.
Can anyone please upload their TTMenu folder and YSMenu.nds to rapidshare and send me the link via PM?
Thanks.
