I have a DSTT clone from r4igold.cn and I’m wondering which firmware would be better for it: Wood R4 or YSMenu? I’m mainly interested in playing Pokemon Black and White 1 and 2. I’m also looking for a firmware that has broader compatibility with other games. Any advice would be appreciated

There’s honestly very little difference in ROM capability. Personally, I go with both if I can and would go with Wood R4 as the main

Should I install Wood R4 firmware and place ysmenu.nds in the root directory of my SD card?

Me too. I love using the Wood R4 interface, YSMenu looks to be more bare bones.
Do you know of any resources for themes? I also just switched from YSmenu as it was too ugly. Not too crazy about the default BL2CK theme that the kernel I have uses either.. idk. I guess it's alright. Would love more options

Wow. You get to a certain point and it's just flooded with one poster and multiple accounts from what it looks like.

So I Guess there's no archive of that ndsthemes website still up today?
ndsthemes is dead, unfortunately. I guess there's this site too: https://ak2skins.weebly.com/skins.html
You can download them from here, the website that I posted or the Wayback Machine. Those are what I could find atm.

Big fan of the Wood interface as well. Unfortunately most of my R4 clones are DSTT clones and will only run YSMenu. I personally like the zelda theme for Wood/AKAIO. I will attach it here. I only wish I knew who the author was to give them props.

    It worked for me but it was a thick screw without nothing else covering the sides (except that transistor I accidentally broke off trying to remove the screw)
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, they slip
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Hm, it makes sense. Nothing else comes to my mind then :/ I guess you have to either make efforts finding the right screwdriver or just give up
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, I'd rather give up
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, I guess. No places that sell screwdrivers around?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, not that I remember
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Oof. Maybe supermarkets sell them?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, mmaybe
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They should be pretty common screwdrivers so there's a chance
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Don't know about the tri-wing screwdrivers though
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They're basically Nintendo exclusive from what I know so no chance you're gonna find them in random physical stores
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    The normal cross ones you could though so you can probably take out the back cover
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, they don't seem to be tri wing screws
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, You could have a chance to take out at least the back cover then

    Dunno about the insides though, never disassembled a 3ds
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Try checking out the iFixit guides

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Huh according to the iFixit guides it doesn't seem like you need tri wing screwdrivers to disassemble the insides
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    That's pretty good news

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Rest are standard Philips screwdrivers
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    And various spudgers but you could make-do with other stuff no problem
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    What's the issue again?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb gonna shower
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Okay see you

    @Xdqwerty, Dunno if you'll read this but I finished reading the story, I love the humor lol, and the idea of an incompetent hero with a smart kid is really particular, haven't seen it around much. Their dynamic kinda reminds me of Manzai (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzai) humor, pretty cool
