Some questions regarding updates:
I'm on DSiMenu++ v6.0.0 (Old 3DS), the cia version. Can i just update directly to v6.1.1 or do i have to firstly update to v6.1.0?
Also, i like using FTP to transfer files to my 3DS. I don't like to keep messing with my SD card, so can i overwrite the file "BOOT.NDS" and the folder "_nds" using FTP? Would make the process much quicker than turning the console off and taking the SD card to my USB adapter.

Another little question:
I'm having trouble setting a background image for the DSi Menu on DSiMenu++. I can put covers, but that image below don't appear. I put the image of the right size named "photo.png", but nothing shows.

You can just go straight to the latest one.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.

Just started trying to get ds games to work from sd card on 3ds for the first time today. I started with TWLoader, but then read this is the newer one. I don't quite understand the benefits of this over TWLoader. The interface of this seems older and slower than TWLoader. Are the only benefits you don't need a donor game?

I was thinking at first this might allow ds games right on the main menu with 3ds games but that doesn't seem to be the case.

DSiMenu++ supports the latest nds-bootstrap, with more options to choose from. And yes, you don't need a donor.
Also, DSiMenu++ is a near-identical recreation of the original DSi Menu. You can chose a custom image to display on the top screen of the DSi Menu theme.
You can also pick a theme to use for the Acekard theme.

v6.2.0

Updating from v6.1.1
  • Overwrite the "_nds" folder and "boot.nds" file on the SD root, with the new ones from the .7z file.
What's new?
  • The async prefetch option has been replaced with a DS/DSi mode option, introduced in nds-bootstrap v0.12.0 (included with this release).
  • nds-bootstrap version is now displayed in the settings screen.
Bug fix
  • Fixed .nds DSiWare being launched on 3DS, as they do not work.

So is Black 2 freezing at a specific point in the game due to my SD card or what. I got the patches and updated DSiMenu++ and yet I cant get past Opelucid City.
Funny how the game freezes after Team Plasma froze Opelucid City

If it's already AP-patched, then wait for a fix on nds-bootstrap's side.

v6.2.1

Updating from v6.1.0 and later
  • Overwrite the "_nds" folder and "boot.nds" file on the SD root, with the new ones from the .7z file.
What's new?
  • The option where the last-ran ROM is autobooted, now works outside of DSiWarehax.
Bug fix
  • Fixed bug where setting TWL clock speed would use NTR clock speed, and vice-versa, by reversing the text order. (Per-game settings menu does not have this bug.)
    Please re-set the setting in the settings screen.
