How to Setup an SDHC R4 Card

Step 1: Format Your SD Card

Your MicroSD card MUST be formatted to FAT32 with a 32KB allocation unit size. We recommend using the GUIFormat tool for any cards larger than 32GB to ensure perfect compatibility.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Kernel

Most factory kernels include ‘timebombs’ that disable the card after a certain date. To bypass this, we highly recommend YSMenu by RetroGameFan. It offers superior game compatibility and a faster interface.

1. Download the YSMenu Pack.
2. Extract and find the folder matching your card (e.g., ‘R4i-SDHC’).
3. Copy the contents of that folder to the root of your MicroSD.

Customization

YSMenu supports custom themes! You can find hundreds of skins on sites like GBAtemp. Simply place the theme folders in the /TTMenu/skin/ directory and select them in the settings menu.
