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

[justjack]

The aktheme (or rather, in its new name, Wood UI) has too many bugs at the current day relating to the SD card driver. It would frequently crash and corrupt files.

Ah! So it was most probably the acekard theme that screwed me up some months ago. I knew it!

Thanks, @maorninja.

Does anyone know how to switch between your flash cart and your SD card using the DSi or 3DS themes? It's easy using the R4 Theme (you just press the R Trigger).

DSi, Saturn, and HBL themes: Hold SELECT and press either UP or DOWN.
3DS theme: Touch the cart/SD icon.

Hey guys, this wasn't mentioned in the update notes, but I added in a bunch of Autoboot files for various flashcarts. Credits to all the DLDI makers and Evie for making me realize that Windows messed up file permission.

Added to update notes, along with the required file size for Unlaunch backgrounds.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Megaton right here. I'm gonna use DSi theme again.

Thank you!

Edit: GBARunner does not appear in the Select Menu.

Right. Only GBA Mode appears.
For GBARunner2, you need to launch the GBA ROMs themselves.

Spirit Tracks AP patch doesn't seem to work with the latest version.

Spirit Tracks AP patch doesn't seem to work with the latest version.

The AP-patch or how the patching works, have not been modified in any way.
Are you using the D-Pad patch?

Are you using the D-Pad patch?

Yeah. Is that why it's not working?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Yeah. Is that why it's not working?

I also tested out the non-dpad patched. Still, it didn't help.

What theme are you using?

 

[Deleted member 534570]

What theme are you using?

Default DSi theme.

 

[RocketRobz]

Default DSi theme.

Are the AP fix .ips files in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/apfix/"?

 

[Deleted member 534570]

Are the AP fix .ips files in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/apfix/"?

Yes, they are.

 

[RocketRobz]

Yes, they are.

Does TWiLight Menu++ give you a message related to AP, when launching the game?

Yes.

 

[RocketRobz]

Yes.

Did you arrange your icons in a custom order?

 

[Deleted member 534570]

Did you arrange your icons in a custom order?

No. I left them as is. It's a clean install. So, everything still has its default values/settings.

 

[RocketRobz]

No. I left them as is. It's a clean install. So, everything still has its default values/settings.

Ok, so...

1. Your ROM is probably not clean. Or...
2. The AP fix .ips file is missing somehow. A re-installation may help.

I'll try a fresh install and get back to you ASAP...

Working perfectly fine for me but I dont have the dpad patch.

 

[Deleted member 534570]

Working perfectly fine for me but I dont have the dpad patch.

I tried both a fresh unpatched one and the patched one. I'm going to try to reinstall TW++ to see if anything works out.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

After several re installations, I finally realized that the R*MS I had were broken. I was able to find a clean unpatched R*M, installed the patch with xdelta, and voila! It works. Apologies for bothering you. Also on a side note, and this has probably been asked before, will unplayable games get patched as TW++ and ndsbootstrap get updated?

While the Wood theme is out of commission for the time being, I have reverted to using R4 themes. Unfortunately, the R4 themes that come with TWiLightMenu do not really fit stylistically.
I spent some time today and ginned up a DS skin (inspired by an old skin by puszcza).

(Left icon brings you to your SD Card. Middle icon launches Slot-1. Right icon launches GBARunner2.)​

If you want to use these, just save the attached BMPs to your 3DS microSD card in a new folder in _nds\TWiLightMenu\r4menu\themes.
