Spoiler: Intro (why use YSMenu on R4 SDHC)

But since there is Wood R4, why use YSMenu?

Well, Wood R4 on the R4 SDHC has been confirmed to cause issues.
You are able to play the games, but it is more like a GameCube with no memory card: You can't save!
Well, you have two options:
- Buy a new card
- Update to YSMenu
Here we are discussing YSMenu problems.
Feel free to try anything to fix your YSMenu installation!

This is no questions topic! (please read before posting)

Spoiler: Looking for a new card?

Take a look at this topic.

Spoiler: Looking for NDS games?

Type the name from the game in the searchbar with site:mediafire.com after it.
It should look like this:
New Super Mario Bros site:mediafire.com
You can replace mediafire.com with an other file hosting site.

good post. :) Its wierd that lately people have been having these problems with ysmenu on clones

Replying to #2

Yeah... Probably because YSMenu was designed for the original R4 (I think).
Thanks, by the way.

I get the error "Unsupported DLDI Name" even after i downloaded the .dat file. I have a R4i.

Replying to #4

YSMenu doesn't support it.

the loading screen is FREEZE
what should i do???
where i must copy my ROMS?

your roms go on the root of the sd card. or you can create a folder, put it any name you want. and put your roms there. what card do you have. if its a R4 clone. remember ysmenu does not substitute the r4 firmware. but runs as a secondary firmware

ichiirou · #6the loading screen is FREEZE
what should i do???
where i must copy my ROMS?

Copy YSMenu and all files on your SD card to the computer and then format it.
Computer > Removable Device (right click) > Format
FAT32 is what you want/need.If you do not have a card that says
"R4
Revolution for DS
NDS/NDSL"
Then it is a clone. YSMenu won't run as firmware then.PS make sure you have a _DS_MENU.dat in the root folder on your SD card.

i get a pretty strange thing LOL whatever i try to run a recent game (like yu gi oh reverse of arcadia) the ysmenu ALWAYS load the wrong rom :S always load the rom that is before the rom i want.
i have a R4 SDHC card
thanksPS : still cant play reverse of arcadia :(

do you have ysmenu?

yes, i did YSmenu on Yoshi2889 tutorial, all games works fine expect recent games :S strange

down load the latest ysmenu fixes from here http://filetrip.net/g25123605-TTDS-EXT-INFO-SAV.html
right now im playing toy story 3, which is a recent game, and works fine. and also playing dragon quest ix. and other recent games.
download and copy all the .dat files to the TTMenu folder in your card

done, now im getting r4dldi error xD

download the r4dldi.dat file from this post. it should be "DLDI ERRORS". just copy that file to the root of your sd card :)

i have a question there :S why it must be on root? i have ysmenu on /YSMENU folder and not on root.anyway i copyed that file to root and gave me same error :Ssorry for being such a botherass xD lool

I dont really know why it should be on root :P. what files do you have on the root of your card?

i have normal kernel ones from R4SDHC.com ? i dont think its ".com" xD

kernel 1.34? and you said ysmenu was in ysmenu folder?

correct :D

try changing the name of the ysmenu folder to TTMenu
