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

[Alexander1970]

Thank you.

Ah, I somehow immediately forgot that you're on a flashcard, even though I already read that you're using one.

One of the new features is that you can set nds-bootstrap and flashcard kernel per-game.

Yes,I have tried it,sadly not better...

In v25.3.1 there is a minor graphic issue in the "Nintendo DSi" theme. The date and time is displayed distorted.

You need to update the theme.

Good Morning.

A Question about the (outdated) TWiLight Updater/ TWiLight Boxart / Game Covers please.
For the DSi and original 3DS it is very simple - remove the SD Card and run the Boxart Tool on the PC.

For the New3DS there is not really an Cover Download Option except that from the outdated TWiLight Updater Version from @KirovAir ,is this correct @RocketRobz ?

Thank you.

Yes, that is correct, although the PC box art tool can be used for New3DS as well.

 

[CoolMe]

Yeah, the process should be the same, using TwilightBoxArt..

 

[Alexander1970]

Thank you.

.. the PC box art tool can be used for New3DS as well.

You know...that Thing with that "Backplate" and....
I do not really know any other Option like manually upload per FTP....

Is there any Chance for other Covers in the Future...?
I guess no,because of no other Database,I presume....

Would it be possible to change the button combination to return Twilight menu when starting a game? The R button ails a lot on my console and sometimes I get horribly desperate.

You can return to TWLMenu++ via nds-bootstrap's in-game menu as well, which is opened by L+Down+Select. The button combo for that can be changed in TWLMenu++ Settings.

NO!!!!!!! I DONT WANT TO INSTALL TWILIGHT MENU ON MY DSi JUST TO HOMEBREW IT!!!!! > : (

I WANT A DSi HOMEBREW CHANNEL TO BE INSTALLED ON NORMAL DSi FIRMWARE, NOT THAT!!!!

Why don't you want to install TWiLight Menu++?
It can launch homebrew, and also includes a homebrew channel/launcher theme.

Also, the only thing that can be installed to the console itself is Unlaunch. TWiLight Menu++ is only run from the SD card.

uhh, calm down lol

TWiLight Menu++ is generally the best homebrew menu for DSi, but there's a few other options:

• Just Unlaunch, it has a menu for loading homebrew and DSiWare
• devkitPro's HBMenu, it's very limited but for what it is it works decently
• GodMode9i is mainly intended as a file manager, but also works as a homebrew menu, about as well as HBMenu at least
• NTM to install to the SysNAND or hiyaCFW DSi Menus
  • You can even install TWiLight Menu++ to the DSi Menu this way and have the DSi Menu as your default menu and only load TWiLight for homebrew things

Respect for even answering to that... Some people just... Grrrr

Thanks, been a while since last update, and updates are basically all my hacked systems are used for, kinda missed it.

 

[ber71]

Thanks Robz, great work as always.
Just asking, why is the boxart disabled by default?

Am thinking of buying a new 3ds xl as I have an itch to play a lot of Nintendo games. I remember trying this program years ago and it was hit and miss compatibility wise. With all the updates since then, does this now negate the need for a separate ds flash card for playing ds games?
