Hello,

I am trying to make my R4 clone primary boot in YSMenu. I copied the files from "RetroGameFan Multi Cart Update v7.06/R4i-SDHC YSMenu" on the root of the SD card, but then I will get the "?MENU" screen when booting the system.

The only primary booting kernel which I could get working for my flashcard is the "Firmware v1.85b for R4-SDHC Upgrade/R4i-SDHC Upgrade/R4i-3DS {url} (English) Clone Fix v1.85b (fix)", but in this kernel, most of the games won't start successfully. I can dual boot into YSMenu from Firmware v1.85b, and then it seems to start most games successfully, but I think this is a bit anoying and I would like to boot into YSMenu from the start.

The R4 clone shows "WiFi R4i 3DS (N3DS/NDSi XL/NDSi/NDSL/NDS) {url}" on it's label. I cannot type {url} here because I don't have enough posts yet, but I have attached a picture of the label below.

Can someone please help me to make my R4 clone primary boot in YSMenu?

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.

    I live maybe 3 minutes from a Dairy Queen, so I would just go there for ice cream anything anyways. I usually get the Oreo Blizzard, or a Peanut Buster Parfait.
