Wood R4 or YSMenu

[kjbkj]

I have a DSTT clone from r4igold.cn and I’m wondering which firmware would be better for it: Wood R4 or YSMenu? I’m mainly interested in playing Pokemon Black and White 1 and 2. I’m also looking for a firmware that has broader compatibility with other games. Any advice would be appreciated

There’s honestly very little difference in ROM capability. Personally, I go with both if I can and would go with Wood R4 as the main

Should I install Wood R4 firmware and place ysmenu.nds in the root directory of my SD card?

Yes and also the rest of the files needed for ysmenu

Me too. I love using the Wood R4 interface, YSMenu looks to be more bare bones.

Do you know of any resources for themes? I also just switched from YSmenu as it was too ugly. Not too crazy about the default BL2CK theme that the kernel I have uses either.. idk. I guess it's alright. Would love more options

Wow. You get to a certain point and it's just flooded with one poster and multiple accounts from what it looks like.

So I Guess there's no archive of that ndsthemes website still up today?

ndsthemes is dead, unfortunately. I guess there's this site too: https://ak2skins.weebly.com/skins.html
You can download them from here, the website that I posted or the Wayback Machine. Those are what I could find atm.

Big fan of the Wood interface as well. Unfortunately most of my R4 clones are DSTT clones and will only run YSMenu. I personally like the zelda theme for Wood/AKAIO. I will attach it here. I only wish I knew who the author was to give them props.

Honestly not a big fan of the default 'zelda' theme, I do love the Pokemon theme by Jayro.
