Some R4 DS users are confusing on how to use YSMenu firmware for their R4DS cards made from www.r4ds.me (Originally from www.r4ds.com), R4wood now has it explained to visitors.

R4DS Firmware Environment

1> Nintendo DS Lite (UKF12874090) <Both DS Lite and DS will do>
2> Kingston 2G MicroSD Memory Card + MicroSD USB adapter
3> Wood R4 DS card
4> Software: Official R4DS Kernel V1.18 or Unofficial Wood Firmware V1.23  + R4DS YSMenu V6.49

Note: R4DS kernel V1.18 is outdated, r4wood take Wood V1.23 + YSMenu V6.49 as an example below.

Wood R4 DS users can do as following.
