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

Original method

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.
  • 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).

DSTT:

  • 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 YSMENU.nds to TTMENU.DAT and copy it to TF instead of official TTMENU.DAT.

AceKard2:

  • Run akextract.exe with OFFICIAL akmenu4.nds. akloader.nds will be extracted.
  • Copy akloader.nds and YSMenu.ini to YSMenu directory in TF.
  • Rename 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

Doesn't support Multiple Skins/Themes (It's possible using 3rd party Homebrew).

Uses Official DSTT loaders - so any problems with DSTT then this will not fix them.

Default Language/Help is Japanese, so some editing required change into English.
