Will you leave optional in the future?
I use a 3ds.
Yep I don't like it either I just want to load straight to my roms menu not have fancy but pointless bells and whistles beforehand. I get why others may like this but make it optional please.

v6.7.1

Updating from v6.7.0 and later
  • Overwrite the `_nds` folder on the SD root, with the new one from the .7z file.
What's new?
  • Main Menu can now be set to be hidden in the settings screen. (Requested by @w0nd3rb0yfx and @AmandaRose)
  • Main Menu: Pictochat and DS Download Play are now booted directly without rebooting. (Fix from @nocash123 included to fix wireless comminucation issues for both apps.)
    Place the following in `sd:/_nds`:
    • pictochat.nds
    • dlplay.nds
    This is not required for DSi users with Hiya, as they should already be able to use them.
Bug fixes
  • Fixed DSi and 3DS themes not working (stuck on white screen) for flashcard users.
  • For flashcard users, it should no longer be stuck on the `Now Loading...` screen in the DSi and 3DS themes.

Where can I get those files, pictochat.nds and dlplay.nds?
I'm using a 3DS.

Well, this update is great ! But there is something missing, something that people playing Pkmn B/W 1 and 2 absolutely want.... Cheats :(
Please, try to do something. DSATM doesn't works with Pkmn Black & White, and Black 2 & White 2, and I really wanna play with cheats on, on my 3DS, not only on Desmume...

How do i update? Im currently at DsiMenu++
Update instructions
  1. In `sd:/_nds`, rename `DSiMenuPlusPlus` to `TWiLightMenu`.
  2. Overwrite the `_nds` folder and `boot.nds` file on the SD root, with the new ones from the .7z file.
  3. For DSi CFW users, put `title` folder from `CFW - SDNAND root` folder, onto the SD card root.
    If you're asked to overwrite, click `Yes`.
  4. On 3DS, install the two CIAs in the `cia` folder.

I just tried several times to install HiyaCFW and TwiLightMenu++ on 3 different NDSi (one regular, two XL, all running firmware 1.4.5E) using the instructions in dsi.cfw.guide
The installation worked without a problem getting the NAND and thenusing HiyaCFW-Helper-v2.9.9.2-Win64. All NDSi use 2GB SD cards.

With every attempt though I get a

"An error has occurred
Press and hold the POWER
[...]"

screen when booting

As HiyaCFW-Helper always gets the newest software, everything should be the newest version as of today, namely

ulaunch V1.8
HiyaCFW v1.3.2
nds-bootstrap v0.13.0
TWLMenu++ V6.7.1

Any idea what could be wrong?

Is HiyaCFW set to autoboot TWiLight Menu++?

I'm currently stuck in an R4 theme loop. Any attempt to restart Twilight Menu boots directly into the last played ROM, no matter what I do. I now remember that I hate R4 theme, and that I do not know how to fix it without completely uninstalling and reinstalling twilight menu.

Help?

Hold Select before the last played ROM starts.
