Having issues with getting box art to show. It shows up on the Quick Start menu in the top screen, but it doesn't show up in the actual menu (black box with a ? mark). Is that like, normal? Or am I missing something?

It's possible the "dsimenu.srldr" file is out of date.
Try getting the latest one from the TWLMenu+ 7z file, in "/_nds/TWiLightMenu/", and put it in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/".

Did that, still doesn't work. Enabling the setting to cache them in memory gets them to work, but disabling it causes the black box/? again.

The Boot.NDS file in the SDHC card of my DSi XL looks like a corrupted mess on the Unlauch menu. What do I do?
What is the correct way to put the GBA BIOS in my SD Card?
When I turned on my DSI XL without pressing any buttons, I got a message that said stuff along the lines of "DLDI not found".

You have to put in the "boot.nds" file for SD card users.

Put "bios.bin" in the SD root, "sd:/gba/", or "sd:/_gba/".

So I'm now getting it just sitting on a white screen after the DS splash screen. I have to hit home and close it. If I try it again it'll be fine. This is happening quite regularly.
Don't think it's the SD card, I did an hwtest on it and it's fine everywhere else?

Try closing the lid and opening it again, when it's stuck on white screens.

Try reformatting your SD card using SDFormatter.

Hello.:)

Did you use an regular SD Card or a microSD with Adapter or an SD Card bigger than 32 GB please ?
And of course your SD Card is formatted with FAT32.:D

Thank you.:)

Thank you both for your help! Ordering a regular 2GB SD card solved all of my problems.
Unlaunch runs fine now and so do all the Pokemon ROMs.
Have a nice day you 2 :)

Hi. I've been trying to paste the _nds/ folder to the root of my SD card (16GB), but it keeps calculating forever, staying on 0%. If I try to cancel, it stops responding. I tried using an older version, and, while it did manage to go up to 4%, it completely froze again on a file called dsimenu.srldr. I really wanted to play some DS games on it, but I can't seem to make it work! Help, please?

    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
