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

[RocketRobz]

Gon an error on the menu the game icons are just "?" And when I try to navigate it it white screens

When did that happen?

When did that happen?

After downloading some boxarts with the updater

Sounds like something happened to your SD card, and corrupted the ROMs.
Try replacing the ROMs.

I'm on the dsi and 3ds theme and going to the back folder and back to DS ROMs seems to fix the issue, happens only on the first 40 ROMs, may be a bug?, also the ROMs load after going back and then again to the DS ROMs

Edit: Ioaded the first boot I'm the first 40s row and now it loops constantly since it white screens when the cursor is over the ? Icon

No.

https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/blob/master/7zfile/3DS - CFW users/Games supported with widescreen.txt

So if I have a flashcard, what's the general recommendation for how to use Twilight with it?

Are there more widescreen patches being developed? Would Rom Hacks ever work? I would wanna play something like Fire Emblem New Mystery of the Emblem translated in widescreen.

Is the AP patch for Sideswiped present?

Hello.

Which Version do you play please ? What are your issue(s) with it ?
The US Version (TID:BCLE) works fine.
(You can skip the AP patch warning in TWilight).

Thank you.

I got random lock-up in game with the USA version, maybe is a problem with nds-bootstrap... In the meantime I will try another dump

Got to fix this changing to r4 theme then going back to the dsi/3ds theme changing the arrangement of the roms from custom to any other and then back to custom, seems like a rare bug but if it happens to anyone else that's how I fixed it I don't know if it could be important to robz or someone else to know

The ramdisk thing made a lot of old DS homebrew work once more. how does it work?
EDIT: heads up about Dataram RAMDisk: if you previously saved to the sd card or another removable storage device, and don't have it plugged in when saving another img, it'll crash.

arm7 is the only CPU that can access the SD card, and requires hooking arm7 IRQ for the homebrew for SD access to work, and that does not work for all homebrew.
By using a RAM disk, hooking IRQs is not required, thus increasing homebrew compatibility, and arm9 can read the data as if it we're an actual Slot-1 flashcard, which arm9 itself can access.

ah ok, that makes sense. neat workaround!

As Robz8 said, you're somehow enabling the Redshift filter.

In your .bat file you should have, like in the OP, the following text:

mkpatch_b asd 1010

That means the last four characters on the line are a one (1), a zero (0), another one (1), and another zero (0).

You don't really need to understand exactly what the ones and zeroes mean, but basically each "1" is a feature you want on and each "0" is a feature you want off. It works like this:

1010
||||_Redshift
|||_Debug text
||_Trainer
|_Widescreen

Or if this helps you visualize it better:

Widescreen v v Debug text
           1010
    Trainer ^ ^ Redshift

As long as the last digit is a zero, Redshift shouldn't be getting enabled. Is it possible your .bat file has something like "101" instead of "1010", meaning the Trainer and Redshift are enabled but widescreen is not?

Thank you so much for your time and patience. I tried again both ways and all I'm getting is the orange color temperature. Kinda weird. Still no widescreen.

Err, why are you editing the .bin file, instead of the .bat file?

 

[johansdr]

Err, why are you editing the .bin file, instead of the .bat file?

OMG hahahahaha where it says "open notepad" I thought it was Open it with Notepad. Give me a sec! Thank you

1. Copy "exefs.bin" file in "sd:/gm9/out/", to the same folder as "mkpatch_b.exe".
2. Rename the .bin file to "section0.bin".
3. Open Notepad.
4. Put this in Notepad"

So, I installed TM++ and NDS Bootstrap via the Updater, and when I try to play Zelda: Spirit Tracks, the Gearbox and Whistle are missing (ie, the AP issue). Does the built in AP Patcher not work on the Rev 1 version of the game?

It should work. What region is the ROM?

USA, and it's No-Intro.
