I'm so confused. DSiMenuPP doesn't have a 3dsx launcher, but SRMenu did, but that is what this same project used to be called before? So then to launch DSiMenuPP from the HBC I'd need the other app TWLoader, which is "discontinued", but that it's also done by the same author???

Send help please. My head hurts. :wacko:

Stuck and pretty confused:

I have a N2SDXL with 11.8 running CFW. Largely want to play Pokemon Platinum/BlackWhite/Black2White2 and some other games and ultimately expand DS game library. Having trouble deciding if I should be installing DSiMenu++ right on my console (I'm having trouble finding patched versions of roms and I am running a mac so patching myself doesn't seem like an option)

Trying to install on my R4i 3DS RTS but am confused because after downloading the linked file and getting to this step:

4. Extract what's in "Flashcard autoboot/(your flashcard)" to the root of the flashcard's microSD card.

The linked file has 3 folders (Forwards CIAs & TWloader, Forwarder CIAs only and SRLOADER) I am unclear which one I am supposed to be doing?

Also I am unsure if I need to have any kernels or files for my R4i on there. Basically I used my flashcart to install CFW and using 3dshacks I refreshed it back so I don't know if there are any steps I should be doing before hand?

Can someone help me out? Or even advise if I should disregard the flashcart and do a better job at finding patched roms or if the flashcart is best option right now how to go about installing?
You don't need a phone to patch games, you just need to find a patcher for the right file format. Lunar IPS is fine for IPS patches, and xdelta Patcher is an option for xdelta files.

EDIT: Nevermind, I was really far behind in terms of pages.

Ok, let's change this to a feature request:

If possible, blease consider adding to DSiMenuPP a 3dsx version, so that it can be launched from the HBC!

Just download DSiMenu++ Launcher from the first post. There's a 3dsx for it.

Oh, there's a separate launcher. That's super confusing xD, but I just got it all working with it. Thank you!!

On a different matter:
1) TWLoader used to be able to increase the sound quality of nds games. Is that functionality here in any way?
2) I found a bug in DSiMenuPP when I press R+L+Select+Start to soft-reset a game. It tells me that A9LH was not found, and I need to press A to export a log or any other button to power off. Which makes sense given that I upgraded my CFW to B9S. For the record, TWLoader has the exact same behavior and screen when I do the same.

1) Yes. It's in DSiMenu++ settings. Just press L/R/X/Y to switch pages.
2) What version of Luma are you using? If it's the latest, try enabling game patching in Luma.

I've tried some other stuff but still can't get forwarders working with my DSTWO, just boots into the DSIMenu++ menu every time.

Honestly I'm sure there must be something wrong with your guide or files because I've followed every step 100% perfectly and it still doesn't work. I've tried over and over with formatted SDs, moving the location of my roms, making new forwarder CIAs, nothing works. All the files are in the correct places that are stated by the guide. I've definitely, definitely, definitely, followed the guide exactly as it says however it just doesn't work.

1) Nice
2) Enabling it changed the error message for another:
An error has occured.
Press and hold the POWER Button
to turn the system off.
Please refer to the
Operations Manual for details.
I'm doing it with Portrait of Ruin btw, which works flawlessly. <3

Did you install both CIAs of DSiMenu++?

Try creating a "nds" folder on the 3DS SD root, then do what I previously said.
Ok, so get the same file from the forwarder pack.
The file being "dstwo.nds".

Is there any way to switch games without having to exit the Dsimenu? I try to do it by clicking the home button but it just tells me this.

There is no name assigned to D-Pad Right.
Also, enable DSiMenu++ splash in settings for the name changing to work.
