    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.

    Keep checking your website for updates of your firmware or kernal as they say...

    I don't know how the SDHC works

    no it does as long as you are running it as an .nds file and not a firmware

    but 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.

    When I go to Yasu's website, I see the date and "YSMenu" but no download link?

    NVM found it :D

    EDIT: 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.
