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

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

YSMenu by Yasu

Note that this guide is only for the original YSMenu made by Yasu (ver. 0903211700).

Before using, please make a backup of your microSD card and reformat it.

Requirements:

  • YSMenu0903211700.
  • 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 (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 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 YSMENU.nds to akmenu4.nds and copy it to TF instead of official akmenu4.nds.

Guide to make YSMenu work on the R4.

Multi Cart Update

In 2019, RetroGameFan has adapted YSMenu which can be installed in a simple manner for your respective FlashCards (e.g. DSTT, DSOne, DSTWO, M3, R4i-SDHC, R4iSDHC and other carts).
