Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

[UnknownSheets]

Works fine for me. Could be a bad rom dump you have or perhaps wrong settings in twighlight.

Yeah, thanks for help. Bad dump. Now working with different rom.

Backup up all your files from your SD card to your computer, then format the SD card and transfer the files back.

Thanks for your help!

I'm trying to get my original R4 to work with TWiLight Menu++ on my DS lite. After following the instructions for flashcard users in the OP, I have two issues:

1) TWiLight Menu++ won't autoboot so I have to manually open boot.nds
2) Whenever I try to load a game I get start error 1, whether I turn the nds-bootstrap setting on or off

Can someone help me with this?

An update on this:
I'm pretty sure the error I'm getting is due to YSMenu not working. When I open YSMenu.nds from wood, all I get is a white screen. It's only DS roms that don't work in TWiLight, nes, gb etc all work fine. Can anyone figure out why YSMenu is broken?

Hi Robz I'm noob here. Is there a way to run kh 358/2 days on TWIlight menu++??? I'm on the latest firmware, It doesn't load past choosing your difficulty...... I'm on a new 3ds xl running cfw.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also if anyone could direct me into where i post questions on threads, I would really appreciate it!

For kh 358/2 you need to apply an ap patch to the rom. The ap patch can be found here in the folder called
RetroGameFan's Game Patches from DS-Scene Rom Tool. Then select the xdelta files by dubbz82 folder. Then look for the patch numbered 4223 Kingdom Hearts 358/2. Download and apply the patch to your game and it will then run perfectly.

Can anyone give me a hand? I was trying to get Dragon Quest VI working on my 2ds and I thought I patched it correctly using DS-Scene and I went to run it only to be met by a guru meditation error? If I try to run it on my 2ds before I attempt to apply the patch, it lets me play the game up until the AP check triggers. Any idea?

Try changing the filename of the AP-patched ROM.
If that doesn't fix it, change the theme of TWLMenu++.

I changed the file name to just Dragon Quest VI and that still resulted in the same, I thought the file name may have too high. No luck, though. I just recently got TWLMenu++ so I'm not exactly sure where the option to change it's theme is? Sorry about that.

It's in TWLMenu++ Settings. Access it by pressing SELECT in the ROM menu.

Can anyone test dqiv? First chapter (Ragnar) freezes when talking to vendors, is it a known issue or bad ROMs?

I'm having the same issue. I tried using DS-Scene Rom Tool but it doesn't support dq4.

Hi, I'm trying to move all my stuff from TWiLight/nds-bootstrap to a R4 3DS RTS card. I recently updated both TWiLight/nds-bootstarp to the latest versions, which would be 8.4.0 and 0.21.1.

I seem to have an issue with transferring the save data for the two Brain Age games. When I try to launch either game from the R4, it retains the profile name but none of the stamps or records. On nds-bootstrap, the ROM files are located under SD://ROMs and the save files under SD://ROMs/saves.

I went back to the 3DS (nds-bootstrap) to try to extract the save data again. I launched the games and got today's stamp, but none of the timestamps of any .sav files seem to have changed - they still say last modified 4/27/19. This leads me to believe that the save file location is actually somewhere else? can someone shed some light on what I'm missing?

It's simple. The last modified date just isn't changed, and apparently, you are the only one (aside from me) who has noticed this.

Will this program have a similar feature that flashcarts have where it has its own built in AP patching?

(I assume you mean nds-bootstrap.)
I wish, but then it would get taken down by Nintendo, because of built-in AP-patching.

Somehow lost access to HiyaCFW after updating TWiLight++ any idea how I goofed? Mainly use TWiLight++ now anyway, but nice to have every option available

 

[KupoTime]

It's in TWLMenu++ Settings. Access it by pressing SELECT in the ROM menu.

That absolutely fixed it. Thank you!

I have CIA Forwarders for my games, as well as Twilight Menu installed. I have the Forwarders for official games, just to save time launching them and Twilight Menu for fanmade hacks, primarily. Sometimes, when I close a fanmade game, I may want to open an official game, and doing it through Twilight Menu would be the fastest way. But, for some reason, Twilight Menu and the Forwarders seem to load different save files, even though there only appears to be one save file on my SD Card for each game. Am I missing something? Does Twilight Menu not save to /roms/save? Isn't the save directory determined by nds-bootstrap, so they should be the same?

Yes, TWiLight Menu++ does save to the "saves" folder.
You just need to remake your forwarders, so that they read the new "saves" folder.

I updated from 7.3 to 8.4 today. Tony Hawk's Proving Ground is now a "hold L to launch" game. I tried a number of builds and it looks like it last launched on 7.4.1 without holding L if that helps.
