1. I dunno how, but the loading bar would have to be edited in the YSMenu source, which I believe it's not available.It worked! Thanks!
Few other questions...
- Is there a way to reduce the flashing screens and loading bars?
- Would renaming the old .ini interfere with YSMenu use as the flashcard OS?
2. Yes. Running the flashcard with YSMenu will boot the game last ran from a forwarder.
