To launch your retail cart, press SELECT in the ROM menu, then select "Launch Slot-1 cart".


ROMs should be placed outside of "sd:/_nds", since the app cannot view it.
Thank you very much for clarifying!

I see that there was an option to download and use cheats

Can we use those with slot 1 games?

OK, so, I'm trying to set this up on my friend's 3DS, but for some reason, whenever I run the app, the app automatically closes and comes back to 3DS mode. Never faced such issues on my own 3DS.
Anyone might know why this happens on this specific 3DS?

Everything's updated: ntr-boot, updater and main app.
3DS is the same model as mine: Old 3DS. Same method: bootstrap
On my 3DS, runs 100%.
On this one: I open the app, it seems to enter in NDS mode, and then automatically closes the app, comes back into 3DS mode stating "Application closed" and "press home to go back to the main menu".
I also ran the TWLFix-CFW to try to fix the issue, but didn't made any difference.
GBA VC games are working OK on the unit.
All setup was made via Online Updater.

Just tried to use my NDS flashcart with the system and the same is also happening.
Ran TWLFix again, re-updated the system again to download the NDS mode from Nintendo, and again it closes the NDS application when it boots.
No idea why this is happening... =S

Just tried following this guide: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Lum...-get-an-auto-shutdown-with-gbadsdsiware-games

Manually installed the clean title "O3DS TWL.cia"... Still no luck...

Try deleting "settings.ini" at "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu".

No such file exists there. xD
But I see that the problem is really related to the TWL mode on the 3DS.
Just tried to install all these CIA:
  • - Old_3DS TWL_FIRM - v8817.cia
  • - TWL Version Data - v0.cia
  • - DS Internet - v2048.cia
  • - DS Download Play - v1024.cia
  • - Nintendo DS Cart Whitelist - v11264.cia
And still no luck. Even flashcart doesn't run...

Can you add pictures to the ds menu on the 3ds? im using an O3DS
If you mean the DSi Menu theme, then yes. Check the first post.
If you do mean the DS Menu (called the Quick Menu in the app), then no.
Not sure if someone already asked this. But is there a screenshot function? Thx!
No.

First, I like to thank you Robz8 for the incredible work you do, I already retire my DSTWO flashcard :lol:.
I have a New 3DSXL and after booting with TWiLight Menu++ v8.1.1 the game "Magical Starsign (E)", it freezes at a white screen, but it was working fine with TWiLight Menu++: v7.3.0 Rev 01 and nds-bootstrap: v0.17.0.

Try holding L when you start the game and see if it launches as expected while doing that.
