FAQs:
What is this?
*This is a homebrew that looks similiar to R4.

Will it load ROMs without problems?
*Yup, except some ROMs that has AP. (will fix this as soon as i can)

How to use it?
*Drag and drop all files to the root of your TF.

Where should i put my Cheat data?
*In "_SYSTEM_" folder

Can i rename my MoonShell to _DS_MSHL.NDS so it can be use when i touch the Multimedia button?
*Yes, you can!

Why i can't change themes?
*Well, i'll try to fix this as soon as i can.

I'm bored wth the theme, how can i change it?
*Go to _SYSTEM_\themes\; yu will see 12 folders, change all the files in the 12 folders. And R4 START should change it theme.

Why do i make it?
Well i remember the first time i use R4; so i make this.

EDIT: Please note that Foddr help me solve a program run fault

So in other words its just an updated R4 firmware made to work as homebrew? While I have no idea what good it can do, I suppose if it can load something better than some other firmware then it does have some merit. Maybe you could add the ability of having more than 12 themes...

yup, will do it. (if i can i'll add loader compatiblity; like akAIO)

Ha ha ha cool. I wonder if this will work with the DS iPlayer.

 

[Gryphon93]

Hm... It seems to use code from moonshell... Just try to run it in an emulator and you'll se what I mean.

 

[Pliskron]

What cards does this work with. I'm only getting two black screens.

 

[azure0wind]

yeah, its for MoonShell2, so it can load ROMs without problems, i think Xenon++ made this.

 

[Pliskron]

This is very cool but it only seems to work with the Acekard. You'd really have something if it worked with the iPlayer.

 

[azure0wind]

okay then.

 

[rockstar99]

Which card did you test on?

 

[azure0wind]

Acekard2i.

 

[Sabregod]

Acekard2i.

Working on AceKard 2i Clones?

 

[Pliskron]

This is impressive. It could lead to some really cool developments. I think this is the first homebrew to launch retail games without messing around. Not working on DSTT. It's only for the Acekard.

 

[rockstar99]

Its only for Acekard 2i/Acekard Clones
I tried it but I dont think you guys should be taking credit because this is just the R4i Ultra firmware with a new skin

Nope, this is GEi firmware. If i dont add loader made by Xenon++, this firmware can't load roms and homebrew. And, yeah i made new skin.

Well, as long as it can do some of the extra things that the R4 normally can't, then I'm all for supporting R4 Start. A cool idea would be to have similar functions to the WoodR4 (cut/paste/copy mostly)...and maybe add the amazing "Rename" function that only DSOrganize seems to have xD.

ahaha

might be a little hard. well, i'm working to make R4 START working with other cards first.

@ azure0wind: Hate to spoil your 'spoiler' on the first post - but surely you've made a mistake ??

-CannonFoddr (help me editing some codes)

Hate to be nit-picking but AFAIK - I didn't !!! (at least I'm sure I didn't

I've helped so many people)

......... I'm pretty sure I did help you get a program up-&-running by finding out what a certain error code meant - so I think if there is any credit due to me (which I admit I didn't expect

) - it should've been for something like 'CannonFoddr (Helped me solve a program run fault)'

Still best of luck on this little project
