Hacking R4YSauto

[Maikel Steneker]

Shit, I just noticed I didn't add the latest cheat database

Oh well, I guess it's time to show my latest "easter egg" then

If you want the newest cheat database, download this file to your R4YSauto folder:
R4YSauto cheat database updater
R4YSauto will use the file to download the newest cheat database automatically. Of course, you will need an internet connection (otherwise you can just download it yourself anyway.

Is there the possibility to hack it that you can open *.gbc files with a *.nds gbc emulator(lameboy)? I mean now(normally) it's possible to open them with a *.gba gbc emulator(goomba or so).
I hope you understand my question^^
Instead of using an *.gba but an *.nds gbc-emu(because I don't have an expansion-pack) and it's rly easy(like on the pc) to open the roms like the nds-roms...

It's probably not possible.

The thing is, these emulators work completely different. On the DS, there's DLDI. So if you use Lameboy, you just copy the roms to the SD-card and launch them using Lameboy.

If you'd use, say, Goomba, it would work completely different. On the PC, you would actually copy the roms into the Goomba executable. YSMenu can do this on the DS. It just copies Goomba to the Slot-2 cart and then adds the actual rom.

To make this work for emulators for the DS, you would require an entirely different approach.

Aw too bad. But well. As long the emus work on ysmenu^^

Downloaded both files, put them in an empty directory then I copied the YSMenu into the directory, ran the batch file and wanted it to be made as firmware.

I'm using an M3 Simply so here is what I basically did on the thing, I removed all files minus the game folder but now I'm getting a _DS_Menu.dat not found lol Although your install guide is nice it is not too clear on how to install it correctly (either that or I am a complete idiot).

I did the same thing, and I got a R4_custom_English zip file containing only the TTMenu folder. Where's the _DS_Menu.dat file supposed to be? (I figured that this should've been automatically created, unless I'm mssing something here).

This is a bug I found this weekend. Please update to R4YSauto v0.0.1 and try again. If it still doesn't work, please give some more details about what you did exactly (which language, which options etc.).

When i use YSMenu and cheats, i get this message :"warning: read arp err,cheat off"
Any idea how to solve this?

Try formatting and reinstalling YSMenu, it might solve your problem. Also, use a program like SD Formatter 2.0 in order to solve some problems.

Maikel Steneker, I have keep track of your beta GUI and new improvements and I am impressed. Keep up the good work as this makes using YSMenu a lot simpler. I so have a question do, are you using the latest version of DSTT? The last I checked, you were using the 1.15 release, the one before the Chocobo game fix.

Oh and another thing, instead of using file place holders for the options, you could create a config.bat file which is called at the beginning of the R4Yauto bat file which includes the settings. Like set downloadcheats = 1 and so on and simply check for them.

Thanks

I'm glad you like it. I'm planning to make it much better, so you'll be even more impressed with the final version 0.1

No. I couldn't get v1.16 to work, and I wasn't the only one. I decided to keep using v1.15 for now. However, I did make the option to use a different firmware a lot easier. The DSTT folder won't disappear anymore since R4YSauto v0.0. That means that if v1.16 works for you it's very easy to use it. I'm planning to add an option to automatically download it as well.

Yeah, I figured that out as well. The new R4YSauto v0.1 will use a new format for configuration files. You can already use this new format by running confconv.bat.

At the moment there are two configuration files. The first one is the old one. It's called config.cfg, and it creates a few placeholder files which will be recognized by the program.
The new format is settings.ini, which does exactly what you say

I didn't feel like modifying the current configuration utility, but when it's done generating config.cfg you can easily convert it to settings.ini with confconv.bat. R4YSauto will recognize settings.ini and use that one if it's present. Support for config.cfg will be there at least until v0.1.

Ysmenu+Pokemon Ranger - Shadows of Almia Doesn't work :/
Well after the 10steps of patching...
"write reload bins...
make indextab...disk errcode=-21
47483632
system halt!"
With the normal R4 fw it works (just wanted to report that)

I've tested it yesterday and it works fine.

Did you built it manually or using r4ysauto?

If you did it manually, maybe you are using the 1.16 DSTT firmware.

Ysmenu doesn't work with that one.

Does this help?

It's an old image, but at least you can find which part YSMenu is in. Just use the link above the red circle, it should work.

 

[Pendor]

Actually, the one below the title is updated now.

Just check the date (2008/10/21 18:00)

Yeah, you're right. Well, you can pick either one then.

Well it's strange but today it worked öÖ
And I didn't do anything with the rom(just arm7fixed it so that my savegames remain and don't go corrupt)
