I have a DSiXL that I installed Unlaunch 1.8 on, setup HiyaCFW, and also installed Twilightmenu++.
I love nds-bootstrap, but obviously it doesn't have the compatibility my DSTWO+ does. Every single rom I throw at my DSTWO+ boots perfectly, in DS mode.
I'd love to be able to boot my DSTWO+ using the TWL clock speeds of my DSi, and have that translate into faster clock speeds for the rom I'm then booting off my DSTWO+.
I DON'T need DSi Mode booting, and I WON'T be playing DSiware titles from my DSTWO+. I simply want to be able to use the TWL clock speeds with a slot-1 flashcard, in the same fashion that you can boot up, say, Mario 64DS from Twilightmenu++/nds-bootstrap using the increased TWL clock speed of the DSi to smooth out the gameplay and such.

Is that even possible? Has it always BEEN possible and I'm just not noticing/doing it right?
My DSTWO+ is kinda finicky trying to boot using Twilightmenu++. Sometimes I CAN boot using the slot-1 option, but a lot of the time I just get a blank white screen. My DSi has some problems recognizing my DSTWO+ sometimes, and I think the contacts in the slot-1 are dusty.
I've tried using NTR-Loader to boot a slot-1 flash card, and it SEEMS to work perfectly, but I'm not sure if this is using the enhanced DSi clock speeds or not.

Many thanks in advance!

The SuperCard DSTWO doesn't need TWL processing speed because the flashcart itself already comes with a 360-396MHz CPU built in (as a bonus it even has 32MB of RAM), which far exceeds the speed of the DSi (even the original 2DS/3DS since that only runs at 268MHz). DS Mode on the DSTWO already runs really well so really anything in TwightMenu++ should run pretty well in terms of speed without needing the TWL speed options.

It's my understanding that the extra power of the DSTWO+ is only used in Homebrew that's specifically programmed to take advantage of it. Not retail DS ROMs.

It does believe it or not, I have one so I know it does. The speed it has over other flashcarts in DS Mode just doesn't come out of thin air, it's not coincidence either. How I know this too is because some titles actually have issues because of the DSTWO CPU.

Oh! Well it DOES have amazing compatibility, I just didn't think that was why! Thank you for clarifying.
