Try manually installing the latest CIAs using FBI.
If that doesn't fix the touch issue, delete the TWLMenu++ titles in FBI, and try again.

Ok I got it to work. I don't have a computer right now so I couldn't do it manually. I tried twilight updater but it didn't work. Then I tried universal updater and it worked. I think what made it work is that it extracted all the files. There are a lot more files showing in fbi now. I think the guy who modded my ds didn't unzip the folder or something. Thank you for the help

I would liked to installed it first on the New3DS XL and had again this Behavior with the TWiLight Updater (v 4.3.0).

- Start the Download and

after finished the Download,it goes back to the Updater UI/Menu.Nothing installed.:sad:

Then I have used the Universal Updater and that works.

That's the intended new behavior, you can now launch GBA games directly so a special shortcut for GBARunner2 is no longer needed. If you want to use GBARunner2's menu then you'll need to launch the GBARunner2 .nds file itself from TWiLight

Just navigate to where the rom files are and launch it, just like DS games or any other system TWiLight supports.

i can only see my nds rom on the launcher screen. I tried moving the 'gba' folder that was in root into the roms folder and still nothing (moved it back to root for the time being). gbc/gb roms don't show up beside my nds rom either...sigh.

Are you only looking in the DS roms folder? TWiLight only shows one folder's items at a time so you'll need to back out of the DS roms folder and select the one with GBA roms. If you can't leave the folder then make sure "Directories/Folders" is set to "Show" in TWiLight's settings.

I had a stupid thought
How difficult do you think it would be to implement a Download Play client in TWLMenu++, for things like PokeTransfer? It's probably wishful thinking considering there's probably a lot of REing you'd have to do, but is it possible?

To be honest, I'm so confused as to how to even edit save sizes. I tried googling how to, but really nothing showed up. This is one of the most confusing situations i've ever been on.

messing with saves isn't too hard. you just have to hex compare two saves, the one you're trying to get to work and the one that works. sometimes saves have headers, or even footers, that must be included or deleted. I know the supercard dstwo uses a save that's 512KBs, but the vast majority of it is padding with 0s. to use it on the wii u, for example, you have to trim the save to the right size, cuz ds saves on the wii u are only 8KBs iirc. it also takes some trial and error, sometimes, but most of the time you'll know if it's going to work based on the comparison. you want the byte size to be exactly the same, and make sure you use paste+write instead of paste+insert. paste insert will not overwrite, and it will make the save the wrong size. some headers contain file names for the game or even the save, like some of them for the playstation 1, since block 1 of the ps1 memory card contains the file names of all of the saves. the saves themselves do not contain the file name. I guess in a way it's a lot to wrap your head around, but you can do it. :)
