I thought YSMenu was supposed to bypass time bombs.
Flash Cartridges
A community for discussions about flashcarts, for any system - Nintendo DS, GameBoy Advance, GB/C, N64, and others.
Rules
You are welcome to:
- Post news about flash cartridges or similar technology (such as PSIO)
- Ask questions, post guides, and have discussions surrounding flash cartridges.
- Post links, questions, or discussions about homebrew and ROM hacks that can run on original hardware with the use of a flash cartridge
- Post homebrew development discussions and resources
Please avoid:
- Harassment, hate speech, or other rude behaviors towards members of the community. If you don't think you would get away with saying something to someone's face in person, then you won't get away with it here.
- Asking for help with a cartridge without providing the name of the cartridge in the title. The only exception is if you need help identifying the cartridge.
- Asking questions that have already been answered in the sidebar or threads less than 6 months old. The search box is your friend.
- Posting direct links to ROMs. Linking to ROM sites is fine, though linking to specific ROMs on those ROM sites is not ok. We have to follow the rules of the instance this community is hosted on.
The community wiki linked above contains pages to help you choose a flashcart to buy, and see what carts are compatible with YSMenu. (Along with instructions to set them up)
YSMenu does bypass the timebomb on supported carts, I'll edit the post to make this a wee bit clearer
It does, but the official kernel has a better UI and more features like rts (Real Time Save). It also has better support for ROM hacks, something YSMenu sometimes has issues with.
Basically, it would be better to have an untimebombed stock kernel than YSMenu.
Good advice. I think I planned on emailing them about this to see if they've got anything to say, so maybe I'll do that. Who knows, maybe they'll fix it.
I emailed them a while ago, no response 😅 Could have been a spam filter though as it was from my email domain
