it's a XMB like menu for DS flashcards, looks really nice IMO

This is not another description how to install YSMenu on the flashcart!

Like some other people here I have a R4 SDHC card from r4i-sdhc.com and installed YSMenu as replacement for Moonshell in the original menu loader.
Just replacing the R4.dat on the SDHC with YSMenu did not work and resulted in the famous "?Menu" Error.

This was annoying, so I decided to put some efforts into this issue.

I solved it like this:

1. Prepare YSMenu to work on your card using one of the many tutorials already online
2. Replace the R4.dat with YSMenu.nds (some people use YSMenu.dat instead of YSMenu.nds)
3. Hexedit the R4.dat file (that is the renamed YSMenu!)

4. Save the changes and try to boot directly to YSMenu in your NDS now

Please write feedback here and let people know if it also works for you...

I got it to work, but the steps should be


1. Download and prep compatible YSmenu from source
2. Rename YSMenu.dat to R4.dat
3. Hex edit the R4.dat file (that was renamed YSMenu.dat)
4. Using HxD or another hex editing program find and replace the following offsets

this is the only thing required to be on the flashcard correct?

No, you need to rename that to R4.dat. Replace that R4.dat that's already on your flashcart.

After doing this, what files can I delete from my SD card?

Nothing to delete, you are all set.

Can a hex edit like this be done to moonshell2 to make it auto-boot on a R4i SDHC Gold Pro 2018? I'm aware that ysmenu.ini can be set to auto-boot moonshell but "YSLoaderForMS2" changes it back to the last game run.

I know I'm super late to this, but I really need help. My old R4i card recently died and I bought a replacement. The replacement is an R4i 3DS RTS with WiFi. I'm not too happy with the UI it came with because for whatever reason when I play something like pokemon, it decides that it won't save the game at all, even though its RTS system and it's really making me annoyed. Please help
