[Dothackjhe]

Man, it's been years since I have been on this thread, and it amazes me how long this homebrew has been actively in development to this day. Massive props to RocketRobz for his unwavering passion and dedication to this app. It's gone a long way, and it shows.

Is the new Blinding White romhack supported atm?

I followed the instructions for installing TWiLightMenu as well as setting up pico loader and kernel booting. For the most part everything went smoothly. I have been able to boot games using nds-boostrap and my flashcard's kernel, but I seem to always get "Start failed. Error 2" when trying to boot a game using pico loader.

Wait until the next TWLMenu++ version for the latest Pico Loader to work.
In the meantime, you can use Pico Loader v1.3.0.

I was so nervous when I first modded my 3DS because it always gave errors（￣□￣；) Installing twilight menu was easy though. I really like playing DS games on my 3DS!

Hmm, I tried v1.3.1 before and just tried v1.3.0 but now I'm just getting a white screen when loading with pico.

Have you tried turning off "Update recently played list" in TWLMenu++ Settings?

 

[kooliokool]

Have you tried turning off "Update recently played list" in TWLMenu++ Settings?

Yep, that solved it. Thanks!
I don't really see myself using anything other than pico launcher for most games, but I love the flexibility to use the flashcard kernel or nds bootstrap for specific games.

Someone can add the option to play nsf files in nesDS v2.0.1 and improve the sound. Also, the games Dragon Warrior III, Dragon Warrior IV, and Digital Devil Monogatari - Megami Tensei II do not work.

Flubba is working into fixing PPU issues with games that are broken, and that's also related to the .nsf player.

I'm working in sound improvements, check my progress here until I finish and push my PR, I would like to have some testers https://github.com/Dartz150/NesDS/tree/feature/better-sound-driver

Here´s a pre-build of my better-sound fork, please be aware that the in-game menu is partially broken (Is still unfinished), so use it a your own risk.

Sorry to ask, but does an emulator for the Philips Videopac G7000 / Magnavox Odyssey² exist for the Nintendo DS(i)?

Thank you for the information that the problem with NSF Player and games is being fixed, and that the sound is being improved.

Try re-installing Memory Pit then.

@RocketRobz how comes I can't see the option for widescreen support on my games on my 3DS?

What am I missing?

Follow this guide here, if you have not done so yet: https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/ds-index/rtcom
Also, make sure that Luma is running from the SD card instead of CTRNAND.
