Question. If I was to run a game cart, Phantasy Star 0. Can I use this to load action replay codes for the game? And how would I go about getting the usr.cheat file set up?

Hello.

To get you right,you want to use a physical Game and want to use the Cheats from inside TWiLight ?
If yes,I am sorry,there is unfortunately no Way.You can only use the usrcheat.dat file with an Flashcard or from inside TWiLight Menu.

If you meant it other Way,I would excuse me for giveing you not the fitting Answer.

Thank you.

The latest commits fixed the long loading times in Metroid Prime Hunters, thank you very much!

How Would I change the theme to have my game recognize my cheats and to enable disable them?

Would anyone know why my 3ds wont recognize any cheat files found within the usrcheats.dat file? Under the akcard theme not one game will open the cheat file.

Hey, whenever I play games that use my time they glitch sometimes. It becomes midnight or something for a split second, and it's especially annoying in animal crossing where it plays a cutscene or a tune everytime it glitches. I sthere any way to fix this?
Also diddy kong racing ds looks really weird. Every player model just dissapears or it gets stretched out over the entire screen. But it works great in my emulator. Does anyone know what to do?

Cheats are showing up fine for me under akmenu. Do they show up under the other menu themes but not akmenu? If they're absent in all the themes, it may be that you don't have the cheats file in the right place; I downloaded mine with the TwilightMenu auto updater, so you could try doing that (or re-downloading if you've done it already). If it's just a problem in the akmenu theme, then I don't know what the problem is.

I was able to find where they were to go. Its just they dont seem to want to work for some reason.

* Do I use the raw codes I have found for the title as I did using the ARdsi trainer or do i need to convert all found codes before I can use them?

1. It's unknown how to fix the time issue.
2. Diddy Kong Racing will be fixed in the next version.

When running TwlSaveTool, it creates Phantasy Star 0 with a 64kb save, and on Twilightmenu++ with the same dumped nds file it creates a 512kb save file which TwlSaveTool decides to reject. Is there a way to change twilightmenus save to work to inject onto my gamecart?

Use HxD to trim the save file, starting at 0x10000.

Tbh I’m new (well I’ve come back) to the 3DS scene so I’m not sure how all that’s progressing?

New GBARunner2 builds have sound emulated using the DSP chip, so there are no more synchronous issues.
The only bug remaining, is that there's glitched sound playing in the GBARunner2 pause menu.

Oh okay awesome, so it shouldn’t be too far off then I suppose. Thanks for all the cool shot you’ve done since I’ve been away from the scene I’ll be using them all for sure haha.

I tried running nds-bootstrap with some games and don't work. The games are: Shin-Chan Aventuras de Cine, Shin-Chan Flipa en Colores, WarioWare DIY (it doesn't save games) and Contra 4 (doesn't even start).

Could you fix this problem on the next update?

PS: I managed to make Contra 4 working, no worries

Contra 4 works for me. The next version should fix it for you.

v0.32.0

What's new? (DSi/3DS)

Added back the option to load 12MB (DSi) or 28MB (3DS) ROMs into RAM.
While the feature to load 8MB (DSi) or 24MB (3DS) ROMs into RAM was included for a while, this option increases the ROM space in RAM.
Setting in .ini file: `EXTENDED_MEMORY`
NOTE: Setting it to `2` will expand the space 512KB more (not tested thoroughly), but will break Download Play functionality, even for games that don't use cloneboot.
Language is now read from TWLCFG!
The card engine arm9 code is now loaded in the first 16KB of RAM, for games that leave it unused.
For early SDK2 games, it's loaded somewhere after the arm7 binary in RAM.
This improves load times in Metroid Prime Hunters, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, and a few others, without the need for heap shrink.

Bug fixes

Game compatibility has increased! More games now boot, such as:
- Marvel Trading Card Game
- Minna no Mahjong DS (does not work in B4DS)
- Nacho Libre
- Giana Sisters (EUR)
- Lola & Virginia
- and more!
(Thanks to @retrogamefan for the feedback!)
DSi/3DS: Models are no longer corrupted in Diddy Kong Racing!
DSi/3DS: If you're running nds-bootstrap in DSiWarehax, it'll now reboot, after creating the FAT table.
This works around a crash, when launching a game for the first time.
`CACHE_FAT_TABLE` needs to be set to `1` for the game to boot.

Regression (DSi/3DS)

DMA reads have reverted back to CPU-based reads, due to an unexpected bug.
This causes lags in some games.

I read in the compatability list that Nanashi no Game need to apply black screen cheat to work but the English patched version show no cheat found.. The unpatched show the cheat list
