sands of destruction help

Ive just started to play this game and everything was working fine but when the sand whale battle started there was no attack menu but the characters were still moving so then after 1 minute waiting to see if the menu reapeared i reset my ds ( i saved right before that battle ) . I fought the sand whale again but this time everything was going perfect and after 10 or 15 minutes of playing the game i entered a battle and the same thing happened ,NO MENU !!!!is there any fix for this , I'm using an r4 clone with YSmenu .41

thats weird i used r4 ultra without thi ys menu and it worked fine for me through the whole game
