I mainly installed this because of the 133mhz mode, but now I am unsure if the mode is working, and I could not find an answer for my exact case:

I installed the DSiMenu++ on the SD Card of my DSi. The CFW is launching and i set the CPU Speed to 133mhz. Will this only have an impact on the games loaded with NDS Bootstrap? Or will Gamecards and games on my R4/DSTWO benefit from this?
(Setup in short: DSIMenu++ on SD Card of DSi, R4 and DSTWO Cards without DSiMenu++ installed, and I want to play games from the Flashcards with 133mhz)

Thanks for the answers!

Both will use TWL clock speed, if set in the settings.

Okay so I am rather clueless, because on both flashcards, games run with identical performance no matter which clockspeed I use. games with bad FPS (Trackmania Turbo) have the same slowdowns, and emulators have the exact same FPS on both settings. Am I missing something? I forgot to mention that I am using Hiya and DSiMenu++ "on top" (rather nooby so excuse the weird tech language ;))

Just tried it myself. Must've missed something.
I should be able to fix this in the next version.

DSiMenu++ v5.4.1

What's new?
  • "bootcode.dsi" is now provided, if you want to boot into DSiMenu++ faster, and/or if you're getting a white screen from HiyaCFW.
    However, you'll lose the ability to use reboot method of Slot-1 launching, and to launch DSiWare with .launcharg extension.
    Also, please set Bootstrap to Nightly, and make sure you have latest Unlaunch version (1.3, as of this release).
Bug fix
  • TWL clock speed now works with DS carts/flashcards.

Does it mean that "TWL Clock speed" works with R4igold plus? I have an old 3ds xl. if so how to configure it? I tried to change "BOOST_CPU = 1" but it looks like it does not work.

BTW Do i need to install some gamebooter cias?

So, the only DS flash cartridge I own is the gateway blue card and if nothing has changed it can't "save".
Can't save what? Game progress?

Isn't DSi Menu supposed to be about loading games from SD card?
So saves aren't redirected to the SD card, is that it?

I was hoping I could finally play some DSi games on my Nintendo DSi, so this is only possible with other flash cartridges?
Can you recommend me one to get?

Is it possible in integrate a function to restart a rom, without exit DSIMenu++? Would be nice. For example you can use RZ or LZ button (they aren't used, because they didn't exist on NDS)

Yes. There's only one.

If the games are on a flashcard, then it will save to the flashcard.
An old version of the Wood firmware is used for ROM loading on the Gateway Blue Card, since it was the only version that worked on the card with .nds autobooting.
Turns out it was so old, that games cannot save.

If you have Flipnote Studio, then follow this guide to play ROMs from the SD card.

Yes. Just name them to the same filename as your ROMs, but with ".sav" instead of ".nds".
Sick, thanks

I actually just tried this with a lego batman game and its not showing up. The file names are the same and they're in the same folder.

World ends with you does not work with dsimenu++ Robz8 has already previously commented on this saying it will be fixed at some point. Zelda spirit tracks needs to be patched by yourself to remove the games ap. After that it will work fine.
Someone have the patched ROM? I try everything and nothing works :c
