Hacking Need Help w/ my R4

[defunct32]

Hi guys,

Been a while since I last posted please pardon me if I have posted in the wrong section. I just need to clarify something as I have recently purchased an R4 card that may have a timebomb feature. Reading from various sources it seems that YsMenu is the only OS that can bypass this or I can put my system time to an earlier date but I prefer the former.

I just need to know if I am understanding the procedure correctly.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-install-ysmenu-woodr4-on-r4i-sdhc-3ds-rts.470619/

1. I need to download the necessary files.
2. Upload the files to the root of my SD card.
3. If I want YsMenu to autoboot at every startup then I need to do some hex editing to a certain file or I can just download a r4.dat that has already been edited, etc.

I do not need to install or run any software in particular to get YsMenu running so I can bypass the timebomb, right? Just upload, hex edit the necessary file and I am all set?

Please advice, thank you.

EDIT:

I have attached the card that I got. Thanks.

Never mind. I got it to work.

1. Format SDCard using
2. Download the necessary files
3. Just copy and paste in the root folder
4. Replace the R4.dat to auto access YSMenu at startup if you are using dual boot.
