Okay..
So I downloaded the file, 6.61. I reformatted the card, but it said that I failed to reflash the drive. I then stuck in the files from the most recent kernel download from my card's website. Then I added the TTmenu and Default.nds file. I added the R4-SDHC folder files. My card is a R4 SDHC Revolution from the web site www.r4ultra.com.
I then took out the micro SD card and inserted it into my DS. I loaded the card and loaded the Deafult.nds file on the first screen, which is stated as YSmenu. I was taken to a new menu. I found my game folder and my games that I has also added to my drive. I tried loading one of these games, but it didn't work. None of them do. It says "Error" and beneath it, "Unsupported DLDl Name". They still work if I access the game folder in my original menu, but not the Default.nds
I was then told to:
1. open /_system_/resource/dldi.bin by hex editor
2. change offset 0x60 from "R4DS" to "RPGS"
I did so. I instead got a new error while loading.

akloader.nds
Can't open loader
OK(A)

I was suggested to extract akloader.nds from AK2i kernel...
I got the akloader.nds file from the acekard website, AKAIO.1.8.7.
I didn't put it in any folder. Can't even access my R4. Keeps loading.
Put it in TTMenu folder. Nothing Happens.
What do I do?

Please help. Thanks!

Is it possible to get this to work with a dstwo, i know it seems pointless but i reallllly like the moonshell 2 ui.
Possible, though you will be using the DSTWO's loader (not ysmenu). Depending on your laziness, you could either use an older version of Moonshell2 (though it goes up to 2.10 stable anyways) that is available from that MAIO thread , or you could use ndslink and the latest version of Moonshell2 (Child Zwai) which requires you to run ndslink whenever you add commercial ROMs to your flashcart and delete the accompanying file that is created when you run ndslink when you want to delete a game.
In either case, just set up inilink correctly and it should work just fine.

Anyone ever figure out how to do this on an DSTT? I have no interest in using the older tutorial for Moonshell 2 (2.06 an older).

Preferably, it would be nice to be able to use the RetroGame unnofficial updated YSMENU.

I tested on r4isdhc.com's R4I Gold Pro 2014 and it said "ERROR" but i have a hunch i can get it to work. I also have the DLDI patched with the official DLDI that came with the R4I. More info later.
BTW, any1 wanting the DLDI patch for this cart pm me.

hurray for bumping old threads. so i got a clone of a DSTT clone (R4i SDHC RTS 3DS) and i cant seem to get it to load half the time (it works half the times with ysother for DSTT. also setting autoboot in YSMenu is kinda eh. is there a way to get it to boot into the rom without touching the file?

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
