I am using YSMenu on an R4i Gold PRO 2020, which is the yellow one. I am using this on a DS Lite with firmware v5.

I would like to change the font to the one used by the DS BIOS. I have downloaded a .ttf file off the internet. I renamed it to "system.fon" and moved it to the "TTMenu" folder, replacing the font file that comes with YSMenu. However, when I go to use YSMenu, it works as normal, except for the font. The only words that apper say that it "can't load font."

Gosh, I'm looking for the answer to this question as well. There're certain chinese characters that can't be displayed in YSmenu. I'm certain its the problem of the font since replacing it by a .fon found in an older version of moonshl half solves the issue. Now I've got all the characters properly displayed, however with wider character spacing which is a bit annoying. I hope to somehow edit the .fon file or find a better replacement.
Apparently the .fon file is not the common type used by Microsoft in win2003 and cannot be opened by windows font viewer or FontForge. So it should be something else and I'm still looking for the answer...
Kinda doubt if .ttf would be it because as a font type it feels a bit too new?

    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Then it dropped sometime in 2022, 2021 was when it really went up in price.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I also recall watching a video of some failed games with their own crypto currency or smth like that, lemme link it to you (it's in spanish tho)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I remember that. Didn't Steam ban games with NFTs before somehow devs managed to circumvent it? Think EA tried to dabble in NFTs too.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Glad to hear people realise that NFTs aren't worth it these days. They realise that they're JPEGs hosted on a file-hosting site like AWS or Google Drive.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Atleast it has captions
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Meta also tried to create their own crypto, but that fell through.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Was called Libra, they had around 100 employees and wanted to hire more near to end of the year.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, idk why facebook tried to do that metaverse thing if mmo games already existed before
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And Yea I refuse to call it meta
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I refuse to call it Meta, too. It's a stupid name.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, then why did you call it like that a minute ago?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I don't get why Facebook ever wanted to dabble into virtual reality, when other companies were doing it.
