Hacking Rearrange dstt menu

[DarkPhynix]

by the way I'm using SanDisk 4GB micro SDHC

I don't know what to tell you then. I guess I would suggest reformatting the microSDHC card and trying it again carefully from the beginning.

I can only tell you that it works because I've done it, so either one of your files is corrupt or you're doing something wrong. If you can take a screen shot showing your entire file structure I might be able to tell you what you're doing wrong.

You can upload images to the forum here:

Then just link to the image when you post.

lol...
thats not very nice

I think it's because you haven't posted enough to use that service yet.

Just post the file structure that is on your microSD card (pathnames of each file associated with the firmware) and I can try to figure out what's wrong with your setup. It's got to be fairly simple if both menus work but you just can't get it to default to YSMenu. Also post the file sizes of each of the files.

ok
E:\TTMenu.NDS 351 KB
E:\YSMenu.NDS 362 KB
E:\TTMenu.DAT (YSMenu) 362 KB
E:\TTMenu\YSMenu.INI 10.2 KB
E:\TTMenu\ttdldi.DAT 64 KB
E:\TTMenu\ttpatch.DAT 139 KB

All of these size are normal size not "size on disk"

Are there other files in your TTMENU folder?

You should leave the TTMENU folder alone (it should contain only files from the official firmware's TTMENU folder). Make a new folder named YSMENU and put the following files in it:

YSMenu.ini
ttdldi.dat
ttpatch.dat
YSMenu1.bmp
YSMenu2.bmp

Otherwise, your files look OK. I don't know why it doesn't start up in YSMenu by default.

[DarkPhynix]

can u give me
YSMenu1.bmp
YSMenu2.bmp

thx

 

[Bri]

They're in the download area:

Not having them shouldn't result in what you're seeing, so I doubt it will make much of a difference.

well i just want to see the problem
if you don't mind can screen shot where you put your ysmenu files please?

in case i might of done something wrong

 

[lolzed]

Try copying all the games put them in a folder and arrange them in however you want then copy all of those files and paste it back it should be in that order now

I don't have my DSTT set up any longer, but here are the files I had:


/TTMENU.DAT
/TTMenu.nds
/YSMenu.nds

/TTMENU/
/TTMENU/skin/
/TTMENU/skin/default/
/TTMENU/skin/default/... (skin .ini and .bmp files)
/TTMENU/infolib.dat
/TTMENU/language.ini
/TTMENU/reset.mse
/TTMENU/savlib.dat
/TTMENU/system.ank
/TTMENU/system.fon
/TTMENU/system.l2u
/TTMENU/system.u2l
/TTMENU/ttreset.dat
/TTMENU/ttsystem.ini
/TTMENU/USRCHEAT.DAT

/YSMENU/
/YSMENU/YSMenu.ini
/YSMENU/ttdldi.dat
/YSMENU/ttpatch.dat
/YSMENU/YSMenu1.bmp
/YSMENU/YSMenu2.bmp

/games/
/games/... (game .nds and .sav files)


I would suggest making a backup, wiping your microSD card clean, then re-installing the official v1.15 firmware (TTMENU.DAT and TTMENU folder). Create a "games" folder and put your .nds and .sav files there (leave plenty of free room for save files). Then start it up and confirm that the official menu works properly.

Once confirmed, rename "TTMENU.DAT" to "TTMenu.nds".

Get the latest YSMenu (YSMenu0809132222) if you don't have it. Place YSMenu.nds at the root of your microSD card. Make a COPY of YSMenu.nds named TTMENU.DAT (that should be the one run by default). Make a "YSMenu" folder on the root of your microSD card. Run "ttextract.exe" on the official TTMENU.DAT file to get ttdldi.dat and ttpatch.dat. Place those in the YSMenu folder. Edit YSMenu.ini and place it in the YSMenu folder. Place YSMenu1.bmp and YSMenu2.bmp in your YSMenu folder.

At this point, your setup should look pretty much like mine above.

i downloaded the ttds firmware 1.15 and the latest ysmenu and reformated my sd card
still doesnt work

 

[Bri]

So you can still get it to default to TTMenu and then go to YSMenu but you can't copy "YSMenu.nds" to "TTMENU.DAT" and get it to go directly to YSMenu?

Just curious, but did you try making sure that "TTMENU.DAT" is in all uppercase? I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I can't think of any other reason it wouldn't be working.

[DarkPhynix]

nope doesnt make a difference

 

[Bri]

I think I'm out of ideas then. Sorry!

-Bri

 

[DarkPhynix]

well can u send me a rar file with the ttmenu n the ysmenu with everything set up?
cuz i hate loading up ysmenu all the time =[

 

[Bri]

Unfortunately I no longer have my microSD card set up for the DSTT since I usually use my Acekard2.
