ok is there another way of booting snes,mega drive,neogeo ...etc emulators ? because when i click on the snes or mega drive icons on the top it asks for the bios image file
It asks for a RAM disk .img file, not a BIOS file. TWiLight Menu++ does not say that it's a BIOS file.
To obtain it, follow the instructions in the SegaMD/SNES tab in the first post.

This may have already been answered, but, I had this running fine, then I tried to boot from the SNES logo to ser what it looked like, I got stuck on a loading screen so I hard reset the system and now anytime i try to boot thr twilight loader I just get stuck on a white screen. Even if I reset the ini it does the same thing. Any advice?

Try a full reinstall.
If you used GBARunner2, then the saving feature might've corrupted your SD card.

Let's see if I understand, I'm going to take the roms (from snes or segamd) and place them inside a folder and then convert them into an .img file?
No so when you’re creating the img file after you put in the correct settings say start drive and a folder menu will appear copy Sega genesis ROMs straight in the folder and for snes make a folder called snes and put .smc files in there you need to separate .img files for snes and Sega genesis

Try a full reinstall.

Hey you didn’t tell me that when my ds got corrupted I could have just reinstalled it I deleted everything, used a different method to get to homebrew launcher, go sudoku hax and then it finally worked

Hello :)

I´ve tried a few things on the DSi XL and the results are confusing.:blink:

- i´ve tried other SD Card(s) first i copy the content from the original SD Card to another.Result was the "An error has occurred. Press and hold the Power Button to turn the system off. Please see the Nintendo DSi Operations Manual for help troubleshooting."
- Then i´ve use the HiyaCFW Helper for a new setup,all ok since when i change the Default Launcher to System Menu (which works on the original SD Card !).After Restart "An error has occurred etc.etc."
- When i select TWiLight lMenu all is ok since i change the Theme to Acekard.After restart both Screens stay white.:sad:


I´ve found the reason on my Acekard Theme issue on the DSi XL.
It´s the inserted FLASHCARD (the R4 clone).

I removed it and Acekard Theme is booting.:D
The SD Nand Launcher issue is also gone.
And i´ve tried a 16 GB SD Card,all works fine.

Hello.:)

I´ve tried some thing today about the Sega/SNES Images.Some Users have issues with the Images they created.Maybe it have to do with the Format of the Image.In the Image Tool (Dataram RAM Configuration Utility) you can set up to 12 MB (for DSi) AND choose between FAT Partition Auto/16/32.If there´s an mismatch (most choose AUTO i think) with the format of the SD Card then you have the Guru Mediation Red Screen when you start JEnesisDS/SNEmulDS.:unsure:

This is only an issue with the Acekard theme.
The other themes can start the emulators just fine.

Hello, people, I have a problem and hope someone can help me!
I have O3DS with a 9.2.0-20U downgraded SYSnand with a 8GB SDcard (not full) with a 10.7.0-32U EMUnand through RXtools, a method I acomplished a quite time ago. I tried to install TWiLight Menu++ with FBI on the EMUnand, but everytime I try to launch it, I get an error, like an usual DSi error. Do I need to use specifically Luma3DS method to TWiLight Menu++ to work?

Yes.
Also, install the CIAs to SysNAND.

Hi I need a quick hand with something, I'm trying to get the latest usrcheat.dat file to work but I can't get anything to show up.

I've got it in X:\_nds\TWiLightMenu\cheats like I read in an earlier post and switched to the AceKard theme, when I press Y to go to the Game Specific settings nothing shows up. I've got Cheats Enabled checked in the database and the two games I'm playing enabled as well. Using R4CCE as well.

I'm on N3DS if that makes a difference.

Edit: Sorry forgot to mention, I'm using Luma
