Hello guys.
First of all, i have to say that I don't know if I am in the right topic but I have to ask somewhere about some help. I recently bought a nintendo 2ds xl and with the guide from the 3ds hacks guide site i managed to "hack" (?) my console. After this, i wanted to play some ds games on my 2dsxl so after a little bit of searching i found some videos & tutorials about the TWLoader (don't know about version - numbers etc.) and successfully i did play for the past month the Pokemon Platinum game.

Now, i try to insert the Pokemon White version nds with the same way but unfortunately the game lags a lot at the intro and completely freezes after the "new game" apply. Same happens with Pokemon Black version. At first, i saw that not every ds game can be played through TWLoader, so i thought that these games were on this "list" but after some digging i found an excel file named "nds-bootstrap compatibility list" where these games are marked as green and work-able. (works)

So, if anyone can help me with these, and if I have to upgrade/change my TWLoader or anything else to play these, I would be grateful. *Note again that i did all the work just step by step on tutorials and i don't know much about what I actually downloaded etc. Thanks in advance and sorry for this big message

You have to upgrade to DSiMenu++, as TWLoader is discontinued.

Ok so I have to follow the 1st page's video in order to do so? Is there anything else not mentioned that I should consider before upgrading? All of these are not familiar to me, and as I said before I did everything just by following step by step instructions and tutorials

The video in the first post is not a tutorial, and video tutorials are not recommended, as they get outdated quickly.
Just follow the instructions in the first post.

Ok thanks just one more thing, if you know which one of these two instructions-packs I have to follow and what I have to download? I have CFW (don't know if it's Hiya or something else) .

Hi, this is my first post here. I would like to thank you all for your support and thanks to Robz8 for this useful tool.

I installed DsiMenu++ yesterday on my USA DSi XL and so far has worked perfectly. Had problems with Contra 4, but after turning async prefetch off and using the nightly bootstrap in the settings worked fine. Hope this advice works for someone else.

I would like to report that after the latest update (v5.4.0 Rev 01) GBARunner2 is not working for me, is not loading the folder tree and just says "BINF3DS sd card áß" or something like that.

You're missing the GBA BIOS, which needs to be named "bios.bin" on the SD root.

    well actually
    a new console won't do anything right now, because the games are still in development, that's why there are few games being released

    it won't make the games finish any faster
