YSMenu is a Custom Menu for DS FlashCards, which is able to boot GBA, NDS, and emulators. NDS Loader is same as official kernel. It supports DSTT and AceKard2.

Features

• Simple directory view.
• can backup/restore SAV file.
• can delete file.
• can boot GBA/Emulators directly (Slot2 cart required).
• Sleeps when DS is closed.

Installation

To install TTMenu and YSMenu for DSTT, It's recommended to make a backup of your microSD card and reformat it.

Requirements:

• Newest version of YSMenu.
  • Search for title "DS(T_T)DS" (There is a scrollable text area beneath that heading. Select the first item in the scollable list to download the latest version).
• The official TTMENU folder.
  • For DSTTi, make sure your card is genuine but not a fake one, or it would be destroyed by the official fake-killer firmware.
  • To prevent it, it is recommended to substitute with DSTT kernel (fake-killer-disabled).
  • TTMENU.DAT (fake-killer-disabled).

For DSTT users:

• Run ttextract.exe with OFFICIAL TTMENU.DAT.
• ttdldi.dat and ttpatch.dat will be extracted.
• Copy ttdldi.dat, ttpatch.dat and YSMenu.ini to TTMenu directory in TF.
• Rename my YSMENU.nds to TTMENU.DAT and copy it to TF instead of official TTMENU.DAT.

For AceKard2 users:

• Run akextract.exe with OFFICIAL akmenu4.nds. akloader.nds will be extracted.
• Copy akloader.nds and YSMenu.ini to YSMenu directory in TF.
• Rename my YSMENU.nds to akmenu4.nds and copy it to TF instead of official akmenu4.nds.

User guide

Language

Change [YSMENU]LITERALS in YSMenu.ini if you use in English or another language (erase a semi-cron).

If you use non-ASCII characters (e.g. Japanese), put next files for an encoding which you use to YSMenu directory (system.fon/system.ank/system.u2l/system.l2u).

Put next files to YSMenu directory if you want/need/use (goomba.gba/PocketNES.gba/hvca.gba/YSMenu1.bmp/YSMenu2.bmp).

Limitations

• Not graphically pretty (See DSTT Menu, YSMenu)
• Doesn't support Multiple Skins/Themes (It's possible using 3rd party Homebrew - see later).
• Uses Official DSTT loaders - so any problems with DSTT then this will not fix them.
• Default Language/Help is Japanese, so some editing required to get English .
