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

[JomasterII]

A possible cause could be this:
> A few DSiWare can now read the TWL font table!

1. Is there a "TWLFontTable.dat" file in "sd:/_nds/"?
2. Is the DSi region-changed?

1 - Nope. No TWLFontTable.dat.
2 - I don't think so? I'm using the stock JP firmware.

I typed in the wrong TWLFontTable.dat location earlier, so I've corrected it to "sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/".
If it's not there either, then try copying it from the NAND using GodMode9i.

Hm, not there either.
I guess I'll have to put GodMode9i on my DSi now, I'll let you know the results. Fingers crossed I don't screw it up. @ ~ @
If you don't mind me asking, how do I dump that file from the NAND? I've never used GodMode9i before.

Controls are listed on the bottom screen. Just open the NAND, find the file in one of the folders, and then copy it.

Took a bit to get it done (seeing as I only read a little Japanese), but Dr. Mario now works. Thank you so much for the help, man. Much appreciated!

If nds-bootstrap doesn't yet work with PBR and Ranch, you could try getting a flashcard. I use a hacky setup for SoulSilver where I use nds-bootstrap on my 3DS' SD card to play the game (I can use White/White 2 which I own to use the Pokéwalker) and then move the save file onto my flashcard to go to Pokétopia.

I'm using Twilight Menu on a flashcart on a DS Lite, and I want to run GBA games but GBARunner isn't cutting it for me. I'm looking into the native option, can someone tell me more about it? Which expansion cart is best, is saving better than something like GBA Exploader, does RTC work?

I use a SuperCard MiniSD flashcard.
Most games work fine with TWLMenu++ installed on either the Slot-1 or Slot-2 flashcard. I don't know if RTC works though.

Taking a look at this one, it appears to require an extra step when saving games. With twilight menu, are games saved to the slot-2 cart or slot-1? Do I just need to save in-game, or do I have to do the "normal save" thing with it as well?

The game is saved to wherever the game is launched from. Just save normally in-game, and then start TWiLight Menu++ again for it to grab and store your save data, as the saving takes place in the Slot-2 flashcard's SRAM chip.

Whats the best flashcard to use with TwiLight Menu++ at moment, one that works flawless and, if any works to load both games in flashcard and on SD simultaneous without having to change it in settings?

The best flashcard in this case would be the R4(i) Ultra.

Sounds good. I've heard the Supercard has some lag problems, are they improved with Twilight Menu?

Yes, they are improved in most games, while others may have minor lag issues.

Sorry, one more question! Does it support large roms like Pokémon Emerald?

Yes, it does.

 

[Henrold]

Yes, it does.

Ok, thank you! I'll probably go with it, I'm hesitant due to reports of lag but since Twilight Menu seems to help with that I'll probably have at least a better experience than with GBARunner.

For anyone else with my RTC question, there are patches for the Pokémon games to get them to work without the need for a clock battery, and thus with a loader like Twilight Menu. Fixes for just the clock are included in the GBATA tool, and fixes for all Gen 3 games with some adjustments to the in-game clocks are available at Romhacking.net

With the newest updat, about 2 out of 3 times when I go to the DSi menu and launch my DSTwo card, it freezes on a black screen with four colored squares in the middle. This started only on the newest 25.8.0 update.

Is there any way to avoid this?

v25.8.0 does not change any functionality related to Slot-1, so it sounds more like the slot is going bad.
