Are they named the ROM's TID? (ex. "ASME.png")
If so, are you on the latest TWLMenu++ version (v8.5.1)?
Also, the .png files aren't required to be 16-bit.
Yeah, I just get the full database for all regions (from GameTDB site). And are just a few without boxarts... I´m working on this again, redownloading and all, I´ll update later. Ah, and another issue, Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands got some icon corrupt image too, can I fix it?
I´m on latest version (8.5.1).

Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with this. I don't know how to fix that error so I can't help :(
Maybe try reformatting your sd card to FAT32?
OK, I'll try

Then it may appear on those versions as well.
Does it appear in DS WiFi Settings and DS Download Play?
I´ll test it right now, sir.

EDIT: It only turns on in Twilight Menu, what the hell...?

Suddenly the PoP icon fixes itself all alone, but all the othe boxarts missing it´s still missing.
I create some boxart for Zelda Molblin´s Magic Spear and that appeared, weird.

I see that the red light is related to face tracker, never used that, holy cow...

Yes, when I try to update, says that this is the last version

Sadly there is no 100 percent solution for your issue.:(

- You tried to move/delete all installed/downloaded DSiware to your SD Card.
- You tried Memory Pit exploit too.

It is recommended on the DSi guide too:

This error is caused by twlnf. It has a critical bug that doesn’t properly update the entire NAND after modifying it. This causes certain homebrew (like the Unlaunch installer) to throw an error. Fortunately, this is fixable. Unfortunately, the method to fix it isn’t set in stone, and largely varies from system to system. Generally, deleting any DSiWare installed via twlnf in the past does the job, but make sure you have another homebrew entrypoint available if you delete an entrypoint. It has also been reported that moving all DSiWare to the SD card and back to the system can help in some cases.

Is it normal for TwilightMenu to load slow? It takes maybe 10 seconds of white screen to load into Nintendo DS splash screen. Games load longer than from card too. Can I disable the Twilight Menu start animation?

Hello.:)

Please press "Select" in TWiLight Menu to access "TWLMenu++ Settings".
On the FIRST Page choose "Quick Menu - Hide" (with shoulder LEFT/RIGHT you can change to the NEXT page).
On the FOURTH Page choose "Nintendo DSi Splash Screen - Hide / Health & Safety message - Hide / TWLMenu++ Splash Screen - Hide

That should reduce the Boot up time for your DSi.

Thank you.:)

Thanks, it loads straght into theme now. Still slow though. But it seems 3DS theme is slower to load than others.

You can use the DSi Theme or the Acekard.Both are also very good and fast.
If you go into UNLAUNCH settings at powering on your DSi and you can change the Loader from "HIYA.DSi" to "Boot.ND5 (TWLMENUPP)"
That makes the boot up again faster for your DSi.:)

It won't cause any issues? Doesn't it mean HiyaCFW won't be loaded?

HiyaCFW is responsible for a few things.But TWiLight do not need it for its boot.It comes AFTER HiyaCFW.:)
Wow, this reduced loading time to a couple of seconds. Thanks.

I have one last question. There's a large "?" sign on the top screen in the menu when looking at roms. It seems there's supposed to be some image from the game. Am I missing something?

You can use .png files as Box Art/Cover Motives.It belongs into SD-Card Folder _nds/TWiLightMenu/boxart.

From the Manual on Page 1 here:

  1. Make sure box art/game cover is set to be shown in TWiLight Menu++ settings.
  2. Download a png box art pack from here.
  3. Extract the .png files to "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/boxart".
  4. Your DS game's box art/game cover will now be shown!
To add your own box art:
Place them in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/boxart".
Can either have the game's TID (ex. ASME.png), or the filename (ex. SM64DS.nds.png).
Must be in .png format, with the size of 128x115.
Individual box art can also be downloaded from GameTDB.

Thank you.:)
