And my edited version (I just added the .nds file and a quick readme
)
R4Menu
What is R4Menu?
It's like a hacked version of Moonshell 2, YSMenu and the original R4 firmware combined.
It plays .NDS games but cheats are only in Japanese. It DOES NOT play music or videos (for that use Moonshell 2).
Moonshell2 skins are apparently working, though I think you'll have to unpack and edit the .INI file... Or something like that. In other words, you'll have to edit the .skn file. Don't bother unless you actually know what you're doing

Installation Guide
It's suggested you download my modified version, because it's in English and some other small things.
Unpack the .rar file (If you don't know how to, search winRAR on Google)
Place the R4Menu on the root of your card. If you want it as a firmware replacement, place _DS_MENU.DAT on the root of your card as well.
If you want it as a homebrew, put R4Menu.nds in your apps folder and launch it with your firmware.
I suggest using Wood R4 as your firmware, trust me it's much better than this. But I still keep this on my card as a .NDS file, it's worth keeping

Bugs/notes
-It loads Ds games, but the English cheats aren't working properly. The Japanese USRCHEAT.DAT from the original link works but it's Japanese. My modified English version cheats don't seem to work
-It uses extinfo and savlib, so you can update those for Anti-Piracy (it doesn't use infolib)
-Moonshell2 skins need to be altered for them to work. I'm not really sure how to do this, don't ask me
-The first button brings up your file browser, the second opend Moonshell2 if installed and the thrid button brings up a list of options qhich you can change to your liking.
-The .nds file has the Moonshell icon, perhaps Fairy Wings didn't realise this
-It's loading games pretty fast
-I suggest not to use this as your firmware, use Wood R4. But still keep this as a homebrew
Beta Testers
-diando (tested the general uses of this firmware. Thanks a lot!)
-Sabregod (tested it on AK2i didn't work though)
-flamingo24 (found out that the 2nd button brings up Moonshell if installed)
Since this is a new firmware, any beta testers would be great!

What's been changed in my version?
-The option is set to English instead of Japanese
-I've made the cheats in english (used to be japanese as well)
-I've slapped together a quick (and sort of lousy) readme
-I've added the .nds file so you don't have to have this as a firmware replacement but instead a homebrewWhat is R4Menu?
