i had this problem when i Replacing System Menu with TWiLight Menu++ . when i checked autoboot title and that would happen. When i turn autoboot title off, everything's back to normal. Can someone help me to solve that?

Some questions from a confused soul.

So my niece got a DSi with some game cartridges. Flipnote studio is installed.

I'm looking at the possibility of installing Twilightmenu++ for emulation and still be able to play the game cartridges.

Some places say I need CFW, some say flashcards, some say that I can launch with game exploit without CFW.

My conclusion is that I need to install CFW, is this correct?

As far as I know, you don't *need* to install CFW for it, but it's recommended. The best guide is https://dsi.cfw.guide.

Any way to follow dsi.cfw.guide or hack a DSi without having flipnote pre-installed ?

Q: Can I install HiyaCFW without Flipnote Studio?

A: No, you will need a hardmod to install HiyaCFW. Follow Gadorach’s hardmodding guide to hardmod your DSi. Previous soldering experience is required.

... Or wait until FailZone is released, but according how the Nintendo Zone works, you might need also an already-hacked DSi

according to this https://dsi.cfw.guide/installing-unlaunch flipnote isnt required anymore.

Edit: decided to order a dsi to test this myself.
