Stick to TWLoader for the time being. The day will come when you make your peace and switch over when it gets too outdated.

DSiMenu++? What's that?

DSiMenu++ officially replaces TWLoader, which is now discontinued.

I tried TWLoader but was unhappy with the results so I quickly ditched it. I figured out how to use my old R4 and never looked back on it.

 

[Purplstuph]

I did.
Thing is, after installing it, dsimenu++ doesn't show on the home menu.
I looked into hbl to launch it, works.
Launch MP: Hunters, get kicked back to home menu.
Anyway, I'm sticking with twl for now.
Too bad it won't get worked on anymore because the progress on it is astonishing

I'm having the same issue. I've tried to install it on two 3DS's with no luck. Were you able to fix this or find out why it doesn't show on the menu?

Turn on "Quick-start ROM" in DSiMenu++ settings to fix that issue.

twloader has a much much better design and much faster than dsimenu++

How is TWLoader faster? DSiMenu++ is faster than TWLoader, in my experience.
TWLoader takes a while to start, due to downloading/loading box art/icons. It also pauses a bit to load an icon while selecting a game, maybe a second or two.

I never even knew DSiMenu++ existed, and from the video search that I just made, there was only one, from an old version. How faster is it at loading roms? What about Moonshell?

 

[AlexanderLS]

Just get a flash cart ffs.
What else are you going to put in that open slot?
If you leave it empty it could allow ingress of dust which could cause some issue later.

 

[nitrozz]

Buy a flashcard

 

[gnmmarechal]

Eh, personally, having a number of DS flashcarts, I haven't played around with either much.

I mean the games are right there when I open the app, this one I have to look through the folder and wait then the games show up and then a loading screen and then wait for the games to start

didn't mean it in a disrespectful way, just my opinion and experience with it so far

I didn't know they discontinued it.

Unfortunately compatibility seems about the same. But it's just fantastic there's progress being made at all, I'm sure it's a tough project.

Is there any way to get unofficial nds-bootstrap versions on dsimenu++ other than compiling them yourself? I don't see any kind of updater.

 

[Daeymon]

If anyone who is using this would be kind enough to confirm. All the screenshots I've screen gives the impression this does not have the boxart on the top screen like TWLoader. That feature was the main reason I used TWLoader for my flashcart.

That is true. The interface is not native 3DS mode, cover art is not shown. It wouldn't do much good as the interface is native DS resolution...
