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

[HeroOfWinds]

Check the SNEmulDS compatibility list.

Ok, I see now, the roms that I was using are ones that don't work on the emulator

 

[FactAbstract]

Thank you for your suggestions

I ran through the Dsi Guide walkthrough with a fine tooth comb and have created a fowarder using MakeForwarder so that I can boot the HeartGold ROM on the HiyaCFW after the autoboot.

I missused the term "flashcart"; I do have the retail cart version of SoulSilver.

I noticed: when I boot the SoulSilver cart in slot-1 it doesn't use the nds-bootstrapper, but the HeartGold ROM does.
I'm not sure if heartgold is supposed to "use" the cart instead of the nds-bootstrapper, but it seems possibly relevant.
Would you by chance know of a video walkthrough to establish an IR passthrough?
--or--
Could you guide me to a step-by-step instruction post if there has been one created?

Thank you for your time and consideration! Arceus bless you all

Sincerely,

P.S. Could this have something to do with the "ramdisks" folder?

Can someone explain the hexeditor stuff for pictochat? I never used one.

v15.2.0

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++.

What's new?

• The Original R4 can now autoboot into TWiLight Menu++ using WoodR4 (credits to @maorninja & @Pk11)!
• You can now use the flashcard firmware (WoodR4) instead of B4DS, to run games on the Original R4 with increased compatibility!
  New steps are at the bottom of this page.
• The GUI frame rate can now be changed. You can set it between 60FPS and 20FPS.
• PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 ROMs (.pce) are now launchable, using NitroGrafx!
  After launching the ROM, you'll have to launch it again, due to how the emulator works.

Improvements

• (@Pk11) DSi, 3DS, Saturn, and HBL themes: Font rendering has improved!
• The RocketRobz logo in the TWiLight Menu++ splash screen has been updated!
• ARM9 will launch the .nds/.srldr file if the Memory Expansion Pak is found.
  Works around a bug, where certain flashcard DLDI drivers dislike being run on ARM7.
  If that's the case for your flashcard, you cannot run retail games using B4DS.
• 3DS theme: To save CPU cycles, the 3D cubes are no longer interlaced, and play progressively at 25FPS (originally 50FPS, when interlaced).

Bug fixes

• Unlaunch and other homebrew that depended on IPC/FIFO is now able to be launched.
• Blank boxes are no longer launchable via tapping.

I get a "Delete error!" when I try to update via Universal-Updater.

I get a "Delete error!" when I try to update via Universal-Updater.

Try the TWiLight Menu++ updater instead.

 

[PrincessLillie]

Try the TWiLight Menu++ updater instead.

TWLMenu++ Updater just silently fails. It says "Done!" but the app isn't updated at all.

What version of the updater are you using?

 

[PrincessLillie]

What version of the updater are you using?

Latest one from the GitHub page.

 

[RocketRobz]

Latest one from the GitHub page.

v4.2.0?

 

[PrincessLillie]

v4.2.0?

Yep, that would be the one.

 

[RocketRobz]

Yep, that would be the one.

Weird.
Maybe your internet isn't working properly on your console?

 

[PrincessLillie]

No, it's working properly. The download goes fine, but it's something else that's causing the error. Universal-Updater said it had something to do with deleting, so I'm thinking it might be a problem with deleting the previous version of TWLMenu++ to prepare for installation. (Not like that's necessary at all anyways, you should just be able to install the new CIAs over the old ones...)
Notably, the latest release of Universal-Updater removed "deleteTitle" to prevent malicious scripts.

 

[PrincessLillie]

Okay so it's definitely not a problem with my internet connection
I used Universal-Updater to FTP the downloaded .7z over to my computer and it extracts fine (using p7zip under Debian), so it's definitely a problem console-side

The TWLMenu update script is quite literally the only one causing any issues. I'm running out of ideas here and I'll probably just try to update manually with FTP.

I tried your grand update to no avail. Please see my message above for my current predicament. I would most gladly welcome a step by step to get pokemon walking step by step Thank you for your dedication!

With IR functions unpatched, the game is supposed to use the cartridge for IR.
How are you booting TWiLight Menu++, if not using any forwarders?

 

[FactAbstract]

Thanks for the reassurance I'm well certain it's user error T-T.

Here's my process: (with SoulSilver in slot-1)
1st - boot unlaunch --> autoboot via settings configuration to HiyaCFW --> Try to Walk 'em from HeartGold --> no trainer found.

2nd - boot unlaunch --> autoboot to TWiLightMenu+^2 --> Strive for Stroll from HeartGold --> More Weeping

3rd - 10th-ish - same with adjustments to the TWiLightMeou++ with respect to ARM7 or ARM9; without unlaunch for slot-1 (toggle to reboot or direct); turn off slot-1 ndsbootstrap so that it uses cart firmware instead; use last booted TWiLightMeneu ROM on hiYAcfw.

Regardless of whether this "user" reaches resolution, I wish to express my gratitude for your time. (")>

I'm having trouble to update too. I'm on 15.1.1 and always used twilight updater. It downloads 14mb of package but can't unzip it. Then says it's done.
I think it's something with the compression.

Hello.

Unfortunately I can confirm this Issue(s).

- Latest TWiLight Updater 616c563
- Downloaded the latest Build,but then the Updater closes the Download Window - No Unzip/Unpack Process.
- after closing the Updater with the "Home" Button an Arm11 Exception Error occurres.




The Universal Updater surprisingly is no longer working for me.



(but I think there is already an Thread here).
So I used the NTR/TWL Script for it



and after Downloading comes the Message "Fehler beim Löschen / Deletion failed" and closes the Windows back to the Script Selection Screen.

In both Scenarios,the TWiLightMenu.7z File is saved on the Root of the SD Card.



Thank you.
