@Robz8 , I finally got twilight menu++ up and running. a few questions: whenever I select "return to launcher" within a gameboy game, the system freezes and the bottom screen turns red. is that option for returning to twilight menu++? I'm not really sure if there's a button combo or something to return to the main menu without restarting the system.

is there a way to download artwork directly to a flash cart using the 3ds? I know I can get artwork with the updater if twilight menu++ is on the 3ds' card.

lastly, whenever I select gba cart from the main menu (if I'm not using gbarunner2) on a ds, I get a white screen, even with an official cartridge.

Yes, that's supposed to return to TWLMenu++.
As of some recent versions, it decided to stop working.

No.

I never had that issue.
The next TWLMenu++ version should hopefully fix that bug.

The cheats are not working or Am I doing it wrong?

On acecard theme, I press x on a game I want to play, this triggers some options including the cheats.
I select my cheats then press b then A to close and A to to launch the game but the game has no cheats running.

I'm using a new 3ds and downloaded the cheats with Twilight updater

What game are you trying, and what cheats did you enable?

I sincerely hope there will be a nds-bootstrap version for clone R4 cards. Retrogamefan's ysmenu does not work properly with some games such as Yu-Gi-Oh! 2011 and Bejeweled 3, neither the official kernel .. :(

@Robz8 , where does twilight menu++ download boxart from? is it only for nds games? I have one hack (NSMB3) with title id NSB3. its original title id was SMB3, so an older version of the hacked rom - its artwork is available. however, the newer version, with a different title id, -its artwork is unavailable, so I was wanting to use the older rom's boxart if possible.

Just name the box art the ROM's filename, with .bmp added at the end of the original ROM's filename.

It seems like I can't boot multiple games, only one game (MM Battle Network 5 Double Team DS) is working right now. Its shows Guru Meditation Error.

Latest version of nds-bootstrap and Twilight Menu++ from github, manual update,
On N3DS, latest luma cfw,
Tried tweaking setting, including switching OFF slot-1 access? - from this thread
Already reinstalled twilight multiple times,
Games not needing AP also crashed.
No AP needed
- Rune Factory 3
- Megaman Starforce Leo (worked with previous twilight before)
- Megaman Starforce 3 Black Ace (worked with previous twilight before)
- Sims 2 Castaway (worked with previous twilight before)
- Sims 2 (worked with previous twilight before)
AP patched
- Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass
- Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks
- Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs
- Summon Night Twin Age
Also, I can't find the AP patch for;
- Soma Bringer (ENG Patch)
- Summon Night X: Tears Crown (ENG Patch)
- Mega Man/Rockman.EXE: Operate Shooting Star (ENG Patch)

Searched the AP fix threads on tempy, so far no luck. I referred to this list btw:

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Try checking the SD card for errors.

Do your ROMs run in an emulator?
Yes. Tested it before and after. The weird thing is I already played some on the roms on twilight before.

Are the problem, possibly from the new nds-boostrap? Should I revert back if that is the reason?

Edit:
Can confirm everything boots up from my list except Summon Night X: Tears Crown Eng Patched. I revert back to TwilightMenu++ ver. 7.30, nds-boostrap v0.17.0 from my full SD backup. I'm lazy so I will stick with this for now.

I still don't know if the booted up AP-unpatched roms can run properly or not, now I'm gonna try applying APfix cheats to it.
