when I downloaded the latest version and after bootup the file browser would just freeze and show nothing. Maybe this is just a me issue, but I thought I might point it out

nevermind, fixed it somehow. Though I still notice that even on the R4 menu (my preferred menu for twilight menu) entering directories takes longer than last update. Im using an old3ds btw if that helps
Make sure Logging is turned off in the GUI page of TWLMenu++ Settings.
If the issue persists, then it's possibly caused by the single-character bugfix.

Hi guys. I am about to install Twilight Menu on my N3DS to internal memory through FBI App. I have a quick question about Twilight Menu usage: When I am playing a DS game, how do I quit game and select a different one? Thoughts and help appreciated :)

You press L+Down+Select to open the nds-bootstrap in-game menu, and select "Quit Game".
If that doesn't work, then hold L+R+Down+B for 2 seconds.

Sounds like you're using an outdated version of Luma. Please update it by either using Universal-Updater, or by downloading the latest Luma manually.
Thank you for the reply. I found a fix in another thread. Someone suggested to enable game patching in luma settings.

Quick question: How do I run NES/SNES and GB/GBA games? Do I just put the files in the specified directories on SD card?

Hey again. How does saving work in NES, SNES, and Gameboy/GBC games in Twilight Menu?
In NES, you touch the bottom screen, and find the Save (?)RAM option (idk where it is). SNES, you can't. GB(C), it's either done automatically, or touch the bottom screen to find the save option.

Also, if you have future questions, please join our Discord server.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
