Hi, have an R4i upgrade Revolution. Have used r4ySauto got the custom english firmware zip file. Files in folder are _DS_MENU.DAT and TTmenu. Installed onto a clean 4gb card. when inserted into dsl just shows that there is no menu, icon of sd card with menu?. used the customized version of R4YSauto on page 38 I think. Same problem Menu? icon appears. Is this software not compatible with my R4 card?

R4YSauto has depreciated in uses since there is Retrogamefan's package with pre-setup environments. Is there any particular reason why you want to have/use R4YSauto (it might be on filetrip)?
I have a weird (now obsolete and abandoned) R4i Gold from r4-pro.com which doesn't work with pretty much any firmware I try, so I'm giving this a try.
The links are dead, could you please upload them to more mirrors?
As R4YSauto only outputs working kernels for the original R4 it became obsolete with the release of Wood R4.

If you're still interested here's the latest version I uploaded to FileTrip - http://filetrip.net/...4-10-f9002.html

Thanks

R4YSauto won't be able to help you with that card. As JP suggests try one of RGF's builds.

Failing that there may be something that works (though maybe not up-to-date) on this page - http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/

Well, I've already tried those before, RGF's build didn't work at all. Linfoxdom's firmware is extremely old and doesn't solve my original issue of screwing up save files and compatability.
On a side note, I HAVE R4YSauto working. However, I receive the unsupported DLDI error when I try to load a game. Could you help me with this please? I've been trying to follow this:

and this:

Well, RGF's list says that the R4i-SDHC Revolution from www.r4-pro.com is supported (R4_Clone folder), though since you are saying R4i Gold from r4-pro.com, I'm at a loss of what the flashcart is a clone of. Supposedly, a majority of the clones should be supported at this point from YSMenu (covers most R4/TTDS clones...possibly other AK2i/M3 clones though without any ability to test that sort of stuff myself, I can only guess based on knowledge that there is YSM3 and YSMenu for the GEi).

Generally, one would try to determine what kind of clone the flashcart is (and this isn't purely based on flashcart names...but sometime the filenames in the kernel provided, though usually I just look for ttmenu.sys) and then try to build YSMenu accordingly though it isn't guaranteed to work at all.

R4YSAuto is very outdated and RGF updates should work, they contain YSMenu, well most of them.
If your really set on using R4YSAuto you might as well use a2h's YSMenu Generator instead, since it does the same thing but has a nice graphical user interface for user convenience.
It can be found here: http://gbatemp.net/topic/130359-a2hs-ysmenu-generator/

None of the included links work anymore, which leaves me wondering. did they get put on another URL or are they just gone to be forgotten about?

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
