Hello. I have an old M3 DS Real with RetroGameFans version of YsMenu 7.06. Is it possible to run it on my DSi 1.4.5e via TWiLightMenu++ ?

I'd like to ask some questions: 1.) With this old Card , is it possible to run TWiLight Menu++ and 2.) still boot games with the alternate firmware YsMenu, like the way it's done with a SuperCard DSTWO and its DSTWO-firmware just by deactivating nds-bootstrap in the configfile?

When booting into TWLMenu(the ds menu skin?) on the dsixl, it recognizes my game cartridges but it doesn't show any art relating to the game card. Is there a way to fix this?

That's normal. TWiLight Menu++ cannot read game card information.
The only time that's done is when launching a game in widescreen on 3DS consoles, in order to find the widescreen cheat for the game.

Is it only me or Twilight can't go into sleep mode using the 3ds with nds-bootstrap? If I close the lid while playing a nds rom the screen goes off but I still can hear some clipping sound :/

Thanks for the answer, that make sense, not a big deal just a minor annoyance. Thanks again.

Certain Slot-1 cards can make sleep mode not work.
You can either keep the slot empty, or turn on "Force sleep patch" in TWLMenu++ settings.

I think I might have tapped into an unreported problem. I'm gonna document it because it might help someone in the future:
For some reason I had the option "slot-1 sd: use nds-bootstrap" set as Yes, I think I probably changed it accidentally, since I don't use any slot-1 games or flashcards and my slot is always empty having this option turned on is what was messing with sleep mode. Turning it off solved the problem.

Weird. That shouldn't affect sleep mode.

Yeah, it seems to be it. I even went back and turned it on again to see if I could reproduce the error and the sleep problem comes back. I'm running the latest version released on GitHub btw, so it's not a problem with an older release.

None, there's no slot-1 card inserted. The problem happens if that option is on and the slot is empty.
Not for me.
Just checked the code, and can confirm it does not use "Slot-1 SD: Use nds-bootstrap" to mess with sleep mode.
Is your TWLMenu++ and nds-bootstrap up to date?
