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 boot GBA/Emulators directly (Slot2 cart required).
- Sleeps when DS is closed.
Installation
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:

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.
