Yes, retro's menus have no Fake Killer so you can try it safely.

If you want a new cart I will suggest the Acekard 2i. Cheap, reliable, and constantly updated to play the latest games and work on the latest DSi and 3DS firmware updates. Here is where to buy one, look under "North American" for sellers from/near the US: http://www.acekard.com/distributors.php

Big thanks! Working good!

Didn't like YSMenu (so used to the TTDS) though the option to sort by name is good. Any way to make it look more like the orginal TTDS? TIA.

I'll take a look at the Acekard...

Another question - So the menus look the same (for kids sake), I'm looking at getting an R4i-SDHC 3DS (even though I don't have any 3DS) since it's the same price as an R4i-SDHC and who knows if in the future we get a 3DS...

Can I use RGF updates (specially R4-SDHC_R4i-SDHC TTMenu) ?

TIA.

Yes, you can.

I will still strongly encourage you to get an Acekard instead, though, especially since you're doing this for the sake of futureproofing. They have much better support for their products, while R4i-SDHC has a shakier record on this. Namely, the R4i-SDHC team has a bad habit of releasing new carts instead of continuing support for old ones, while the Acekard team in contrast is -still- trying to get their oldest Acekard 2i model to work on the 3DS, despite facing significant difficulties in doing so.

Your children *should* get used to the new menus (which aren't all that different or hard to grasp really) soon enough, don't worry.

Are you using a patched or trimmed ROM? Please get a 'clean' ROM instead. Also did you follow the instructions in How to Install.txt? It's important to follow them.
Lastly, if that doesn't work could you tell us exactly what flashcart you are using? Please include the website of the manufacturer for easy reference. Thanks.

you can dual boot ysmenu and wood r4 v1.25.

  • If you want to use YSmenu as main firmware and woodTT as secondary (booted) firmware: Put the files for both firmware into your micro SD card. rename the TTMENU.DAT inside your woodTT to *whatever you want*.nds. You will boot into YSmenu; boot your nds file to go into woodTT.
  • If you want to use wood r4 as main firmware and YSmenu as secondary (booted) firmware: Put the files for both firmware into your micro SD card. rename the TTMENU.DAT inside your YSmenu to *whatever you want*.nds. You will boot into woodTT; boot your nds file to go into YSmenu.

Ok Thanks sounds quite easy, and if I want use the firm that comes with my card R4iTT Aplies the same?

Edit: I tested renaming the r4.dat as you say in the kernel of R4iTT to use Ysmenu as primary boot and now works lufia and tetris party deluxe using r4 kernel, now all my games work! Thanks for help!

Gambia, The
(5733) One Piece: Gigant Battle (G) (ABSTRAKT)
Fails to Boot, Double White screen with the default system.
YSMenu obviously reports a -4 Error.

However, the game has a Second AP.
I got around the double white screens with a old WAIO Build i saved.
The Second AP is that at every Match you have only 3 Seconds on the Time.
Which obviously isnt the original Time players would have for the Match.

Just dumping that Information on the AP.

If you want to update that part, just copy over the "extinfo.dat", "infolib.dat", and "savlib.dat" over to the "TTMENU" folder and over right the old files.
I am not sure why he removed it, but it's not that hard to update yourself.

"extinfo.dat", "infolib.dat", and "savlib.dat" are usually the only files that change in the updates. If you need TTMENU.dat, you can use an older version.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
