(TUTORIAL) YSmenu for r4 and all of its clones(easiest way)

eriberriokay, i tried this out with my R4 SDHC seeing as the Ace Attorney games were saving fine, but loading always failed. I followed all the steps and tried it with method 3 and 4 (of step 10) no problem, but the loading is still always failing (in that I save, then try to load and it fails, then it gets rid of the save altogether and i can only choose 'new game').
What's the story with this - am i doing something wrong or is it the r4? please let me know!

ok I update the tutorial with something that I am pretty sure will solve your problem, get back to me and tell me so I can verify it please, it's all the way down under Duncan Idaho's fix

KaichiNada. .BAT is the extension for an MS-DOS batch file; a scripting language that runs commands via the windows command shell.

MS-DOS is not invented in any way in a Mac. I've made an app (WITH MY TEAM, OF COURSE) (Still unfinished) for the DS that reads .bat, .php, .html and .xds files.

thats true, mac uses an UNX language along with PERL based language, and several other things to run, heck even installing mac is easier for me than installing windows, it became a simple process of writing, i always had trouble with windows, on topic i dint made the .bat file run, i went for the dual boot method, and for future reference there is a way to make MS_DOS exist on macintosh, trough bootcamp i can install windows in paralel to amc os x.

You have to do 1.000.000.000 things before you can run a simple .BAT file on a Mac.Mac's have weak parts, like Windows does :)Anyway, if you have a Mac, you have a mini change of running a .BAT or .EXE file, though I've seen ''BOTTLES'' that run .EXE. Try putting C:\$WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe on a Mac and use ''that'' method. Maybe it works, maybe not. I HAVE NO MAC, BOOHOO... Though I'm happy with Windows.

not int he mood, also i could have try to run the patcher, and the .bat fiel trough crossover or crossover games, and i switched to mac, since it was cheaper than buying a new tower completley, since my old tower was sold to me in a defective way, sound cards were damaged, videocard was breaking appart, and i couldnt install a single antivirus program, since it would somethign anmed memory flip, or similar, destroying all my files in the process..., damn panda

I tried what you suggested - renaming the TTMENU folder to YSMENU - that didn't help, loading still failed.
Next i tried adding the replacement savlib & infolib files to the folder, but weirdly there was no savlib or infolib files in the folder to begin with (and looking back through the YSMENU and ysauto downloads there was none anywhere there either O.o), so i simply added them, then tried it. No luck.
Then i tried renaming the YSMENU folder back to TTMENU and that didn't work either.Basically it's happening with the Ace Attorney games. The games themselves are loading fine; but after saving, the saves won't load - giving a 'load failed' message. It's also happened with Fashion Designer New York - saying the save is corrupt and will be deleted. Very frustrating! Any further help would really be appreciated. Again, the card I'm using is an R4 SDHC - brand new, not a week old, with plenty of room left on it.

Ysmenu dose not work on R4 SDHC type, Just the original R4 that dose not say SDHC

So there's nothing i can do to make these Ace Attorney saves work with the R4 SDHC? T_____T

Keep checking your website for updates of your firmware or kernal as they say...I don't know how the SDHC works

Jhon 591 · #49Ysmenu dose not work on R4 SDHC type, Just the original R4 that dose not say SDHC

no it does as long as you are running it as an .nds file and not a firmwarebut I heard some r4SDHC were clones of acekards.so that could be your problem eriberri.or there is something wrong with the roms.Since you have done the things I have posted I would suggest upgrading to the latest firmware of the R4SDHC and see if that works.If your card is a clone of acekard(no idea how you find out if it is) then I would suggest AKAIO

The r4 SDHC is just another clone of the r4 running on the same firmware as the r4III. I mistakenly ordered the SDHC not paying attention to what I was doing, and I am able to run YSMenu as a rom. Method 2, autoboot ysmenu.nds didn't work, so I tried method 4 and it worked. I did have to download the fix in the original post with the 360 looking menu, but now Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story works just like it does on my original r4 with the ysmenu set as firmware.Thanks for this tut!!! I was about to go ballistic when I couldn't get ysmenu to work on the r4SDHC.

What do i ahve to do to make DLDI supported or what have i done wrong pls help me :'(hrs0520 could u pls pls upload ur ds ysmenu files? I can't save not even one game, it's depressing!

Watch ye'r language :oUse read hrs0520's postHe also has an R4 sdhc and he was able to use Duncan Idaho's fix

When I go to Yasu's website, I see the date and "YSMenu" but no download link?NVM found it :DEDIT: Will this automatically convert all my .sav into .dat or whatever? And also, does this work on R4i Clones, such as R4i Deluxe?

No YSMenu USES SAV files.
