Thank you for your continued support @RocketRobz. Glad I ordered the DS Browser kit the other day.

It happened yesterday evening. When I was playing Black 2, suddenly it involuntarily exits and go to the home screen. And when I rebooted my device and going to turn on the game, this error pops off
Try re-installing TWiLight Menu++ then:
If the issue persists, then the error is occasional.
@RocketRobz
How does TWiLight Menu++ handle homebrew .nds files? Do they still need to pass through nds-bootsrap?

No, those are booted directly.
On the DSi/3DS SD card, old DS mode homebrew are booted through nds-bootstrap.
On the flashcard, you can turn off direct boot in order to use the flashcard kernel to boot the homebrew.
I got the Memory Expansion Pak and my R4 SDHC will load TWiLight Menu but any game I attempt to load white screens. Do you have to use the flashcard loader with this card?
Yes, you do. The flashcard loader for your flashcard is YSMenu.
I suspected. Thank you.

@RocketRobz,
I got it working but only after replacing the autoboot default.nds file with a duplicate of the BOOT.NDS file renamed as DEFAULT.NDS. Not sure why that is, but otherwise my DS Lite would white screen attempting to load into TWiLight Menu. I even started from a fresh install of TWiLight Menu to verify.
Edit: May have spoken to soon. I think I need a copy of YSMenu.nds on the microSD root. Will report back. Thank you.
Edit 2: Even with YSMenu installed still white screen with the autoboot default.nds provided in the latest release. Using the standard BOOT.NDS renamed to DEFAULT.NDS does work.
Edit 3: While I can respect the fact that TWiLight Menu works for the R4 SDHC, just running YSMenu as a standalone is much faster and less hacky feeling that TWiLight Menu (each time a game loads debug text is displayed on the upper screen and YSMenu standalone does not require the Memory Expansion Pak). I was determined to get TWiLight Menu to work on all my carts and in that regard I have succeeded but for this cart I think YSMenu is simply the way to go. Thank again for your support and your amazing project.

Hey, I'm using TWiLight Menu to try and play some DS games.
Spectrobes is entirely stuck on `Creating save file...`. Closing and opening the lid did not help.
Skate It does load, but is stuck on white screens after.
What can I try? Is there more info I can provide?

Yes there is. It's pink, and filled all the way (as I would interpret it). There is also a DS loading icon to the right of it. Also in pink and moving clockwise.
Does the same issue occur when you launch it again? If so, how much space is left on the SD card?
Oh, it doesn't. Sorry for the inconvenience. I didn't wanna close that screen in case it's important somehow. Thanks.
Unrelated; is there a way to pin a game from TWiLight Menu to the home screen?
Yes, you can create forwarders for your DS(i) games here: https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/ds-index/forwarders.html

Your ROM is probably corrupted then. Try re-dumping it from your cartridge.

Skate It also worked after retrying. Appreciate the help.

I've made some changes to my SD card layout for my ROMs. I now have them in a hierarchy like `sd:/_roms/nds/Aa`, `sd:/_roms/nds/Bb`, etc. Each of these directories also has a `saves` folder.
Now when I launch a game (any game), I get stuck on the white screen. This goes for games which previously worked. I am launching from TWiLight Menu, so it's not a forwarder issue.
Perhaps of note: the games do get past the initial `Creating save file...` screen (some show an NDS-BOOTSTRAP screen saying `Please wait...`) and after subsequent launches, briefly show a `Now Saving...` screen, which then goes to the mentioned white screen. Again, these are games which worked prior.

Things I've tried now:
- redownload TWiLight Menu from Universial Updater
- rename `_roms` back to `roms`
- move a game (Spectrobes) from `sd:/roms/nds/Ss` to `sd:/roms/nds` and create `sd:/roms/nds/saves`

Hi, just wanted to check a thing. 3 years ago I played Pokemon Black on a New 2DS XL, with TwilightMenu, with C-Gear turned on. It ran flawless and to my eye 100% speed. Today I wanted to complete the dex so I grabbed my save file and rom and put it on a DSi XL, latest version of twilightmenu. As you can see () now the game runs considerably slow, also compared to the white DSi with original cartridge. If I turn off the C-Gear it gets a bit better, like 95%. Is there a problem on my DSi XL compared to my N2DSXL?
Any wireless feature now makes reading from the SD card slow, in order to prevent errors when using such features.

Bad news is that BitLocker was cracked, so somebody could use a Pi Pico and probe the LPC pads on the motherboard to grab the key.+1

My wife's doctor prescribed her a ointment for neck and knee pain, that cost $30. We just read the ingredients, and active ingredient is CBD, found exact ingredients in another off brand ointment online, for only $8. Our healthcare system at its finest. -
