DSTTi DEMON-HW Carts (AKA Timebomb Carts)

r4isdhc.com 2014+, r4i-sdhc.com, r4i-gold.eu, and others

Kernel Info

See YSMenu Compatibility List's R4i-SDHC YSMenu section for a full list of compatible carts.

YSMenu is a simple, fast, and stable kernel, featuring a menu UI resembling the original R4. It's a great choice for most DSTT-based flashcart users. However, it does lack RTS (Real Time Save), so check out the R4iMenu tab if that is something you're interested in.

Setup Guide:

  1. Format the SD card you are using by following this guide.

  2. Download the RetroGameFan YSMenu 7.06 kernel.

  3. Extract the YSMenu .7z file you downloaded using 7-Zip, then go into the DSTTi-Clone YSMenu folder.

  4. From this folder, copy the following files/folders to your SD card root:

    • Games folder

    • TTMenu folder

    • TTMenu.dat

  5. Download this R4.dat, and place it in SD card root as well.

  6. Place any .nds game ROMs you'd like to play into the Games folder.

  7. Insert the SD card back into your cart, plug the cart into your DS, and see if it boots into the menu.

Kernel Info

R4iMenu is compatible with r4i-sdhc.com and r4isdhc.com (2014+) carts.

Since the timebomb previously found in this kernel has been removed, it has become a good option for users that are looking to use RTS. R4iMenu is also a decent kernel for playing romhacks and translation-patched games, as YSMenu can struggle to run those.

Setup Guide:

  1. Format the SD card you are using by following this guide.

  2. Download the appropriate kernel for your cart below:

  3. Next, extract the contents of the downloaded kernel zip to your SD card.

  4. Create a Games folder in your SD card root, and place any .nds game ROMs you'd like to play inside.

  5. Insert the SD back into the cart, plug the cart into the DS, and see if it boots into the menu.

Timebombs

While some old versions of the stock kernel have timebombs (error that triggers past a certain date), neither YSMenu nor the versions of R4iMenu provided in this guide have one.
