Hi there!
Ran into an issue with latest version. I had it working fine before, but decided to go check for updates. Using FBI QR code install I got the updater and updated everything.
I did this procedure on my O3DSXL and my regular O3DS. They're both running the most up to date version of Luma and the most up to date 3DS system. Other than the physical model of 3DS, both are identical. Everything works fine on my O3DSXL. But my O3DS gives this error when trying to launch TWiLight:

"An error has occurred.
Press and hold the POWER Button to turn the system off.
Please refer to the Operations Manual for details."


So I decided to completely remove TWiLight and install it fresh using the updater.
Same error.
I then installed it completely fresh manually by way of .cia.
Same error again.

Am I missing something super obvious or does the latest version not like the O3DS for some reason?

I figured I'd let people know that TWiLight Menu++ completely messed up my microSD card. I don't know what caused it exactly, but it was definitely the culprit.

Data would corrupt and ROMs would suddenly show up with the wrong size, installed 3DS games would cease to work. I thought the microSD card had simply started to fail but just to be sure I ran extensive tests and it turns out the card itself had no bad sectors. Each time I restored my files (and I was lucky to have a backup of all my sd card contents from just a month prior) and tested each game individually, one by one, everything would work fine. I would get to TWLmenu last and run some games and data corruption would start occurring again.

Finally I resorted to this method. Everything has been working, played several games since with no issues whatsoever. The only difference is I haven't used TWLmenu since.

For what it's worth, the theme I was using was Acekard. I don't remember my exact configuration settings or if any of it was relevant. I remember everything was up to date.

I'm off to buy a flashcart.

I have official Samsung adapters, though. The white and orange ones that came with my 128GB and 512GB cards, sold by Samsung and fulfilled by Amazon.

Hello, the widescreen patch doesn't work when i put Widescreen.cxi in the folder, it only works if i put TwlBg.cxi in the Luma sysmodules folder (but that makes it permanent which is no good). Help?

I guess they are :)

But why is data corruption only triggered by TWLmenu?

Unfortunately I do not know the Reason....
In the last weeks I noticed,that many Users on DSi/3DS has troubles when using Adapters/microSD Cards.
Maybe it is comparable with IDE/SATA HDD issues on PlayStation 2 or the orginal XBox.The Controller (in this Case the Adaptor) is the Main Element.
And if there where "cheap" Parts used in the Production this has Consequences as you can see.:(

The microSD Card itself works perfect,no worries.:)

Thank you.:)

The only Recommendation I can give is using an normal SD Card.:)
As I said,these Adaptors are mainly from China.:D

But you can try it for yourself if you like.Please backup your Data before testing.

Thank you and Good luck.:)
