Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

[KleinesSinchen]

Hello everyone, it's my first post here.
I installed this and enjoyed my favorite DS games on rom, but there is something missing : cheats codes.
I don't have a flashcart, however. How do I add these ?
I tried DSATM, but it just gives me a modified rom file which is 64 mb less than the original rom file. I use Pokemon Black, btw.

There is no cheat menu at the moment. Have you tried the modified ROM DSATM generated? A difference of about 60MB sounds plausible if the original ROM was untrimmed and the cheat tool trimmed the resulting ROM. I don't know the exact difference, you're probably using the French version which I don't have for testing. This is what I get for the german version (no patches, just trimming):
197M Pokemon schwarze Edition.nds
256M untrimmed/Pokemon_schwarze_Edition.nds

Yes, It's the french / Europe version. Here are the exact sizes of my roms :
195Mo Pokemon Black with DSATM cheats
256Mo Pokemon Black whithout DSATM cheats
(the same size than yours)

And when I tried to load it on my 3DS, it didn't worked and there was a red "ERROR" on the bottom of my screen.
It didn't worked either on DesMuME 0.9.11.
If you want, I have the txt cheat file, made by myself.

EDIT : I tried to look inside my Pokemon Black gamecart with Godmod9, and I found a "trim" file, which is 197Mo. I tried to put cheats inside it, using it instead of the normal one, AND..... Nope, didn't worked. It shows "ERROR" on the rom loading screen.

DSATM is supposed to give you a modified ROM file. That's how it works. It injects the codes into your ROM and outputs a new ROM file. The 64MB were probably trimmed off when you created the new ROM.
Edit: Sorry didn't see this was already replied to.

yes, it works well in 3ds with nds cartridge too, but tried in twilightmenu and dont worked

That's strange, are the WiFi settings on both of them correct?

 

[Kigiru]

Does anybody has some picture or more clear explaination what should be on the SD cart to make it work on Original DS + Original R4 cart? Maybe i'm bit of stupid but the explaination from first post seems unclear and does not work for me.

Hello again, everyone ! I have a CFW-ed O3DS using a SDHC card, and I can't play Pokemon Black (Europe version) with DSATM cheats. It just can't even launch the game.
The game itself, without AR codes, works, but when I patch the rom with DSATM, it makes it unplayable. Don't work on 3DS, not even Desmume.
I tried to do some testing, and the game doesn't launch :
- when I patch it with only AR codes
- when I patch it with AR codes AND arm7.bin fix
- when I patch it with only AR codes after applying the AP patch with DS-Scene
- When I patch it with AR codes AND arm7.bin fix after applying the AP patch with DS-Scene.

PS : I use a dumped rom file of my physical Pokemon Black cartdrige.

Here is my cheat text file, if you want to read it and see if something is strange. It's french btw, and all the codes are taken from the "Pokemon Trash" website.

I Need Help Setting My Donor Rom

Donor ROMs are no longer a thing.

 

[darkrai87]

Trying to play M&L:BIS since the new update to nds-bootstrap, I’ve gone through finding a working rom and using xdelta3 to patch the game with the patch from the preservation thread. This produces a trimmed rom that works fine in desmume, however the game does not appear in TwilightMenu++. All my other games appear and run as expected.

If you're on the DSi/3DS theme, and have more than 39 ROMs, then press L/R to switch pages.

Just figured it out, my ftp client or I must have removed the file extension when I renamed it and I hadn't noticed until just now. Sorry about that!

to my knowledge. the feature (cheats) is planned. just when im not sure.

 

[valiantheart18]

I'm sorry, but there is one thing I would like to ask, even though it's probably been asked already. Will this permanently change my home menu? Or will it just go back to the 3DS menu each time?

No, this will not replace your 3DS HOME Menu. It is currently not possible to replace the 3DS HOME Menu.

 

[valiantheart18]

No, this will not replace your 3DS HOME Menu. It is currently not possible to replace the 3DS HOME Menu.

OK, thanks

v6.7.0: Both DS/DSi UIs now included!

Update instructions

1. Overwrite the `_nds` folder and `boot.nds` file on the SD root, with the new ones from the .7z file.
2. For DSi CFW users, put `title` folder from `CFW - SDNAND root` folder, onto the SD card root.
   If you're asked to overwrite, click `Yes`.
3. On 3DS, install the two CIAs in the `cia` folder.

What's new?

• A main menu now appears before the ROM menu!
  It has the look of the original DS firmware menu.
  Last-run ROM (with box art shown on the top screen), alongside Pictochat, DS Download Play (if both are installed), and GBARunner2 (GBA Mode on DS Phat/Lite consoles), can be launched.
  The yellow arrow is to proceed to the ROM select menu.
• Sound fix option has been removed, as it was causing issues with some games.
  If you enabled sound fix in the past, open `sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini`, and set `SOUND_FIX` to `0`.
• Added option to not show AP message again for specific game.
  When launching the game, if the message appears, press X to proceed launch, and not show the message again.

Improvement

• MHGen (Acekard theme) `menu_bg.bmp` fixed by Vulpes-Vulpeos.

Bug fixes

• Sonic Classic Collection, and Doctor Who: Evacuation Earth, will no longer show the AP message, as they do not need AP patches.
• For some users, soft-resetting the game will no longer have muted sound.

Regression

• As a result of the muted sound fix, the sound frequency setting will not persist when soft-resetting.

Known bug

• When launching a game on a flashcard if TWiLight Menu++ is being ran from the console's SD card, after the ROM path is saved, it can no longer be changed, and you will need to manually remove it from `settings.ini` at `sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu`.

Hello.

A main menu now appears before the ROM menu!
It has the look of the original DS firmware menu.
Last-run ROM (with box art shown on the top screen), alongside Pictochat, DS Download Play (if both are installed), and GBARunner2 (GBA Mode on DS Phat/Lite consoles), can be launched.
The yellow arrow is to proceed to the ROM select menu.

nice feature. works perfect.

Added option to not show AP message again for specific game.
When launching the game, if the message appears, press X to proceed launch, and not show the message again.

That was an good idea. (hopefully somebody don´t "accidentally" use it and then forget why the game is not running of not AP patched.)


TWiLight works great,no issues detected at the moment.

Another brilliant Update,thank you.
