I'm getting a Guru medidation error when launching Pokemon Black 2. All is up to date and all other games works fine. Any idea?

 

[severed]

would it be possible to add a new theme to the TWiLightMenu++ similar to the iMenu theme for SupercardDSTwo?

like the one seen here

that was always my favorite custom DS menu theme

Great work btw really exciting to hear about the recent updates!

Tales of Innocence (English patched) doesn't work?​

 

[themanuel]

Thanks for that. If I want to patch manually, which one of the two BKIE files is for rev1?

@themanuel
Launch the game from TwilightMenu++ and then look at the name of the ips file written to nds-bootstrap.ini.
You are welcome, buddy.

Turn off "Update recently played list".

Try launching it holding L and smash start

Followed the instructions to install this into my flashcard, when launching a rom I get: "Start failed. Error 1. nds-bootstrap not found."

Retail/commercial games don't work with TWiLight Menu++ on this flashcard.

Also tried the widescreen feature, doing all the steps but nothing changed. (Not even TwlMenu++ is in widescreen mode nor compatible games). Note that I checked the luma folder and nothing was copied there.

1. Did you run "wide.bat" to make the new .cxi?
   
2. Is external modules in Luma enabled?
3. Is 16:10 enabled in TWLMenu++ settings?
   
4. Does TWiLight Menu++ go to black screens when launching a game?

1. Nope, I used the command line directly (is using a bat mandatory?)
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. The game I'm using to test goes to black screen so I can't really tell. (Mario Kart DS)

If you used cmd to go into the directory of the patcher, then no.

I mean black screens before it goes white, and the game boots.

They don't, however the bottom part of the screens are a bit bugged (like there is a duplicated bar)

BKIE-450.ips but you should replace all 4 files as the patches for all Zelda were updated.

@Robz8
Here are some corrections :
Shin Sengoku Tenka Touitsu - Gunyuu-tachi no Souran (Japan) (B5GJ)
Metal Beyblade - Cyber Pegasis (Korea) (BBUK)
Sengoku Spirits - Gunshi Den (Japan) (CQ2J)
Sengoku Spirits - Moushou Den (Japan) (CQ3J)
Last Window - The Secret of Cape West (Europe) (YLUP)
Sengoku Spirits - Shukun Den (Japan) (YR4J)

Last Window now works properly but you need to hold L while booting with the new patch. I noticed it reported here on github

These games : CQ2J, CQ3J, YLUP and YR4J need to show the AP message in TwiLight Menu.

Back to more testing

 

[RocketRobz]

They don't

Is the ROM modified in any way, like is it repacked?

however the bottom part of the screens are a bit bugged (like there is a duplicated bar)

That's a TWL_FIRM bug, unrelated to TWLMenu++ or nds-bootstrap.

 

[PabloMK7]

Is the ROM modified in any way, like is it repacked?

Yes and indeed I tried with an unmodified rom and it works. I though the system was dynamic enough to apply patches to modified games (just based on the game id)

@Robz8
The following games ned to have the AP message removed from TwiLight Menu as they do not contain AP :
Disney Stitch Jam (BJMJ/BJME)
Winx Club Saving Alfea (TGPE/TGPP)

Winx Club Saving Alfea works now (the original USA release was a bad dump but has since been redumped). I noticed it reported here on github.
Dragon Quest IX works with current .ips. I noticed it reported here on github.
Sims 3 works with current .ips. I noticed it reported here on github.
