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

[lva789hp]

It's in the Games/Apps settings page.

That means your GBA flashcard has no RAM to be used as ROM space. What does the flashcard look like?

Same here. All is fine on my side.

Thanks for replying, my cart is the purple supercard, microSD version. It ran fine when I ran it from slot2, passed all the test.

(Sorry if totally stupid, but...) Is it possible the TWiLight app uses more battery power than normal? I ask because my battery seems to be draining pretty quickly when playing games in it.

The GUI, maybe, but not the games.
nds-bootstrap actually uses less battery power than flashcards.

I don't own that flashcard (I own the MiniSD version), though I don't see why the RAM wouldn't be detected.

Yes, .png works fine. Size needs to be 128x115.

Pokémon Volt White 2 doesn't work anymore after update Twilight Menu ++. In addition, several games turn down when I use the sleep mode. All of them worked fine before that update.

Set the game to run in DS mode, and turn on card read DMA as well.
Also, I don't see why sleep mode would now cause the games to power off, when this got fixed for a while.

If the crash isn't random, then try replacing your ROM.
If the issue still occurs, then make sure "Card read DMA" is still turned on, otherwise, you're out of luck for now.

Hey, just wanted to say that I replaced my Spirit Tracks rom, and now it's working great, alongside many other games! Hallelujah!

I would like to take this opportunity to once again express my thanks to @Robz8 and @Pk11 and anyone who has contributed to the TWL++ project!

I will now make a humble request that I'm fine if it gets ignored... if it should ever come to a time when the classic splash screen (showing consoles) is overhauled, try to squeeze an Atari 2600 console in there. Four of the built-in emulators are from Atari and zero love on the splash screen

Hello, I'm having trouble with anti piracy with Twilight Menu. I use a new 2ds xl. So you have a list on the sd card of games that are "ap patched" yet when I try to play some they have black screens when I press start on the game. The game loads up but when I press start in the menu of that game it just goes black. I'm assuming this is anti piracy kicking in. Games that do this for me are Lufia ds, Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story and Pokemon Conquest. Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to patch them? What's going on? Yet Spirit Tracks doesn't have anti piracy and I can use the train. Is this a known issue for some games? Do I have to worry about this for the Pokemon and Dragon Quest games. Those are the only ones I actually care about. I've really tried just figuring this out on my own but nothing seems to work and I can't find anything about this topic. The nds bootstrap compatibility list says some games have to be ap patched. I have about 18 games that need ap patch. When I go to the list of "ap patched games" on my sd card all of them are on that list. Yet when I launch some they just have a black screen.

Edit: I went back a couple pages and someone had a similar issue. I turned Card Read DMA on and the games work now! Mannnnn thank you people. I didn't want to play the ugly looking Bowser's Inside Story remake. I was beyond confused and now my issue is fixed. Thanks.

Try turning on card read DMA.
If that doesn't fix it, you might need to AP-patch the clean ROM, and then patch the AP-patched ROM with the English patch.

Hey! I followed your recomendations and the games works again! About the games which power off during sleep mode, it takes place on "forwarder" mode (game icons in the 3DS main menu), but in Twilight menu program they run perfectly. Thank you!

Ah, you need to follow Part 1.1 in the forwarder guide again to fix that.

Hi Guys, I have a New 3ds XL and I am using Twilight Menu ++ to run my nintendo DS games (right now I'm playing Ace Attorney serie). I just found my (very old) supercard DSONE (NOT DSONEi) that is fully working on my nintendo DS Lite. Do you know if there is the possibility to use that supercard on my New 3DS XL (maybe using Twilight menu ++)? I'm asking this because I would like to have real time save states option.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, i was wondering if you can help me with this weird problem.

Im trying to run Okamiden (U) on my 3ds using the latest twilight menu release. However i encountered a black screen after the 2nd cutscene (with music loop). I tried reinstalling twilightmenu , using nightly build, using different rom, ap patch rom. Still the same.

However i note that the clean rom has no issue on drastic emulator android. Another thing i noticed was i am able to get past the black screen on the older version of twilightmenu (before the switch to universal updater)

Any advice? I'm at my wit's end actually. Thanks in advance.

(UPDATE) Ok Wtf? I just fixed it by changing the settings for Card read DMA to "On".

TWiLight Menu++ itself should be able to launch that flashcard.
If not, then please show what's the title ID of that flashcard, using GodMode9.
