Hacking R4YSauto

[Predator04]

Thanks for the script and detailed instructions. Everything went OK on my second try.
Now I can play HULK (whee?). tested.

If I could get Soft Reset working, this would be much better.

I used option 4. I hoped this would dual boot like DSTT or SCDS1's triple-boot.
YSMenu still cannot set the screen brightness, I can boot to R4, set the brightness, then run YSMenu.nds, but then I cannot get back to the R4 menu.
I have tried renaming a copy of _DS_MENU.DAT to R4MENU.NDS, but that does not seem to work.

With DSTT and SCDS1 I can cycle between all the menus, but I can only do one change on R4. Any ideas?

u can change the screen brightness by touching the top left of the screen. atleast mine does.

I've followed the instructions you've posted here.

Downloaded YSMenu0805222222.zip and put in same directory as r4ysauto.

Ran the batch, selected following options:

Which language should R4YSauto be in? (EN)

Which flashcard do you use? (R4)

-use the skin y/n option- (No)

then

Er zijn verschillende manieren om YSMenu te installeren:
1. Als vervangend firmware
2. Automatisch starten nadat het originele firmware is geladen
3. Handmatig starten via de middelste knop in het R4 menu
4. Handmatig starten via de linkerknop van het R4 menu

Om de te gebruiken methode te kiezen: voer een nummer in.
Voor meer informatie moet hieronder niets worden getypt.
Maak uw keuze:

I thought this was supposed to be English.

That's strange... I have tested it, and that part should be translated.

I'll just translate it for you then.

There are a few different ways to install YSMenu:
1. As replacement for the R4 software
2. Automatically starting after the R4 software loads
3. Manually starting using the middle button
4. Manually starting using the file browser (left button)

Please input your choice:

I hope it's a bit more understandable like that

I am currently working on a new version of R4YSauto, and I noticed that I had the same problem. I will fix it in the next version.

r4dldi.dat
NO_BOOT_LOADER

Any advice? Happens whenever I try to load anything.

To be honest, I don't have a clue...

Wait, what, it doesn't work? Well I did grab it the other day, but hadn't had a chance to give it a try.

Oh well, luckily we can all head on over to Beve's (now also 'disguising' itself as Hexane26) thread again to grab one of his SUPERDUPER BEEZNUTZ WHIZBANG CUSTOM-MADE FIRMWARES!

It works for 95% of the people who use it

Yeah, you're right. Still, I will just keep making this for people who are too retarded to use his much better firmwares

It isn't there anymore. I suspect it's in the latest update of YSMenu that Yasu just released. I will test it and probably release a new version of R4YSauto (and the others) today.

 

[Maikel Steneker]

I just released a new version. Check out the first post for the changelog.

 

[m-p{3}]

Thanks for this utility, it should simplify the process for us old flashcart owners

 

[shinset]

THANK YOU !

MY M3S is alive with this combo ! last M3S kernel+ sakura (replacing moonshell) + YSMENU

My M3S looks more sexier than my M3R now

 

[Creqaw]

So uhm is there a way to get the correct colors for the themes? cause there isn't something like theme.ini and is there a softreset function ?

You can correct it in YSMenu.ini which is in the YSMenu directory. I haven't found out how it works exactly though.

I can't find the required YSMenu file on his site. All I can find is YSMenu0804200115.zip

EDIT: Call me uneducated, but what's the real point of this YSMenu? Can it do a great deal more than the official R4 kernel does?

Yes, the R4 has basically reached the end of the line when it comes to official firmware updates so because of this, many games and newer comes comign out do not work on the R4. With YSMenu, it uses the loader from another flashcard which is regulary updated and has better game compatibility so you have these benefits on the R4. Not only that, but the YSMenu has more features than the stock R4 firmware, including support for Gameboy Advance games (With the proper Slot 2 card), other games if you have the emulators on the flashcard (So you can start the game right up from the main menu without manually loading the emulator than the game), A way to boot back to the DS main options menu without taking the flashcard out, way better cheat support and the list goes on.

Also as of posting this, heres a link to the latest version of YSMenu

[azianinvazn]

can someone tell me what ysmenu does, i mean like what makes it special?

Actually, that link really didn't work either. It took me to the front page which has no mention of NDS stuff. Then when I copy pasted the link in, it took me to the DS page, but the only mention of YSMenu was the download link for the version I'd mentioned earlier. This guy is awfully protective of his program, isn't he?
