Hacking R4YSauto

[admin]

Edit: R4YSauto hasn't been updated for a long time due to me having a lack of time and a lack of motivation to work on R4YSauto. Then new version will be released, but I don't know when.

For now, you can still use R4YSauto 0.0.2 with a few extra steps.
1. You will have to rename the YSMenu zip archive to the old file name to use it. It will work fine with R4YSauto 0.0.2.
2. It's not required, but you should use the unofficial updated libraries located here. These will make YSMenu load files faster and add support for the 1 MB savetype used in Pokémon Platinum and other games. I will include these files in a future update if I get permission from the author.

R4YSauto is a batch file to create a working YSMenu distribution easily. Extract R4YSauto to some folder, copy the YSMenu zipfile to it and run r4.bat. That's about everything you have to do! To automate the process, you can use r4config.bat. It can also convert your old configuration files to a new format.

The newest version of R4YSauto is 0.0.2. It can be downloaded here or installed via the update function which was added in 0.0.

Updating is very easy. Just enable the update feature and start R4YSauto. If you don't have a working internet connection, you can just download the files from the link above.

To use R4YSauto, you will need to get YSMenu. So go ahead and Visit Yasu's homepage!
