You need to apply the RetrogameFan patch on a clean Japanese ROM if you want to use it with YSMenu. You can find the patch here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ni-no-kuni-translation-eng.373770/

Hi,
First of all, I want to thank the work of RetroGameFan.
The post was edited on July 3.
In changelog appears version 7.07, but in downloads the old 7.06 still appears.

Is version 7.07 going to be uploaded?

I have an R4i SDHC "Dual Core" 2015 card, for some reason it's getting caught on the ds boot screen before even hitting a Menu ? screen (seen here). I have copied over the Ysmenu and made sure that it's right numerous times, but keep failing on that. The original kernel does the same thing, even if I set the clock on the DS back to 2015, so I thought it might be the SD card, but I did a slow reformat with the panasonic formatter then put it back in and it's still doing it. Tried it in another DS to no avail.

I think that the cart is having trouble connecting to the ds' cart slot or something - I tried it on another ds lite and had the same problem, all of my other carts work fine. Just went back to using my old school R4 with the 2gb limit.

I tried to stick paper to make sure the pins are touching but that did not help. It was working with my 2DS so I don't think it's a hardware thing. I'll also try with a 2GB card.

Is there a way to use RTS with YSmenu 7.06 ? I have a r4i-sdhc rts.

Real-Time Save? No, only the firmware that comes from your cart’s website will support that. YSmenu is more of a barebones cart firmware that you only use if your cart’s own firmware isn’t compatible enough with your games. All YSmenu can handle is cheats, so you’ll have to use your game’s own save feature if you use it.

Hello @retrogamefan

Thank you very much for this awesome piece of software

I'd like to report a bug though.
My ndsl is freezing while scrolling through the games list.
I'm using the 2019 r4i gold pro by r4isdhc . Com
The firmware I'm using is 7.06 R4i-SDHC YSMenu installed as primary kernel

Btw the instructions say I shall use the DSONEi SDHC YSMenu folder

The link to the translation patches in the first post is missing, is that intentional or an accident?

Does anyone have a link to it or copied the folder to their MEGA that they could share? I deleted mine due to space issues some time ago. Thanks!

Hey, is there any way to set the default folder this starts in as opposed to just the root folder? I'm trying to hide folders and files that are part of homebrew apps and the like to keep the menu clean.

I’m not sure about the default start folder, but you can easily hide folders if you have access to a Windows computer and set the folder/files to “Hidden” in the Properties window. YSmenu will respect the setting and hide what you choose to hide.

Awesome! That's going to make things WAY cleaner on the menu. That did exactly what I wanted to do, thanks.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
