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

RocketRobz · Oct 1, 2018

v6.4.2 (Rev 01)

What's new?

Acekard 2i's microSD can now be directly accessed! (confirmed working by Krebu)
(The cart should spoof Horsez for it work.)
To run retail games from the flashcard, you need to download the flashcard pack, and extract what's in "for Slot-1 microSD" to the root of the flashcard's microSD card.

As of this release, 2 flashcards are supported for direct access:

Acekard 2i
R4 Ultra (regular, not R4i) (r4ultra.com)

v6.4.3

Wow! Three releases in a day?

What's new?

The DS-Xtreme and original R4 DLDI drivers have been recompiled from their original source codes.
There should be a chance of them being supported with direct access.

Hi, new to the forum so hopefully I don't break any rules here, but I've spent days searching google with no clear answers. Does the Twilight menu ++ offer any cheat support for the nds roms we play through it? Was playing pokemon pearl and wondering if there was cheat support. I have a new 3ds xl with latest luma cfw and twilight menu ++

nds-bootstrap itself supports cheats, but there is no cheat menu for TWiLight Menu++ yet, and that won't be implemented anytime soon.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm brand new to the DS scene, just bought my first one about 5 days ago (been into the psp hacking scene since day 1). If i understand correctly, the bootstrap cheat support is only for 3ds titles, correct? From what I read, it didn't seem that support extended to DS roms on our sd cards.

nds-bootstrap, not boot9strap.
The cheats are supported on the DS ROMs on the SD card. To use them, TWiLight Menu++ itself would have to apply them to nds-bootstrap's .ini file, but it doesn't do that yet.

My last question would be this. Is there any pro's or cons to the nds boostrap vs boot9strap? or are they the same basically. The guide i used to hack my new 3ds xl on 11.8 ofw was 3ds.hacks.guide/installing-boot9strap-(homebrew-launcher).From what I read on that guide, that means I'm running boot9strap? Does that mean I have no cheat support at all?

boot9strap and nds-bootstrap are two completely different kinds of things

They don't have anything to do with another.

boot9strap is a 3DS exploit that is used to install custom firmware. nds-bootstrap is a software that allows you to run DS ROMs from your SD card. The homebrew this thread is about is a front-end GUI/loader for nds-bootstrap.

I normally don't ask this kind of question, but any hope for DSTT support? I have an Ak2i, but the contacts are just pure garbage and it's not reliable enough for me to want to use it.

How do I play GBA games?

When touching on the Gameboy icon in the menu, I get a white screen saying "BINF3DS sd card" and a bunch of scrambled nonsense.

Does that mean I have to put the GBA BIOS file onto the SD card? If so, where?

"bios.bin" on the SD root.

Dear @Robz8 !

I have a 2DS.
There's this ds homebrew of a PC game, Knytt Stories, and I've tried many times to get it working with dsimenu, but I never succeeded.
I'm not sure if you've heard about it, or if this has been asked before. I never could find an answer.
I cant post a link because i just created this account for this. But just google dsknytt.

It has an .nds rom but it relies on an external "data" folder.
The readme says it's supposed to be put in the root of a flashcart. Where would this be with TwilightMenu?

Thanks a lot.

The game doesn't work from the SD card.

I think it's just agbbios.bin on the SD card's root, but I might be wrong.

edit: after I posted this a bunch of other posts showed up, one of which answered your question and apparently I was wrong anyways

why alwats i can't copy "emulator" and now "calendar" folder to new 3DS SD ?
FTP transference

I had the same issue. To fix, I just mounted the SD card into my laptop and it bypassed the issue but I had no idea why it did in the first place.
