Thanks so much for helping! So when backing up my SD card, windows won’t let me copy and paste the “_nds” folder. Could that mean that there is an error? Is it safe to delete the “_nds” folder?
What is the error you're getting exactly when you try to copy the "_nds" folder? Like Robz8 said, an error that is causing the "_nds" folder to not be copyable is a huge sign that it may be the culprit for TWLMenu++ not starting.

It actually was the culprit. I just got it working after deleting the “_nds” folder along with the twilight menu CIAs and reinstalling everything through the updater! I have no idea what happened but it is working fine now thanks to @Robz8. :ha: I haven't partitioned yet, but I will just to be on the safe side.

In the latest version of nds-bootstrap (0.29.0), Pokemon Black and Black 2 do not work, The Pokemon Company logo appears twice at the start of the game and nothing else appears.

Please switch to TWiLight Menu++. TWLoader is outdated.

There's kind of a lot going on here that really isn't helpful. First, you actually got your answer as the homebrew you are trying to use is outdated and no longer supported, thus you need to update to get any kind of support. Second, when troubleshooting any issue it's often helpful to give clear information, such as which CFW you are running and the version number, along with entrypoint, and OFW. Although, that information isn't really important for this issue it's just helpful for future reference. That all being said, you need to update and replace TWLoader with TWiLight Menu++. TWiLight Menu++ no longer needs doner ROMs and also has vastly improved game compatibility.

Robz8, thank you for all the work you've put into Twilight Menu!
I updated to the latest version and I just have one question...how do I get the manual to stop appearing every time I go to browse my games?
Press B instead of going to the Manual.
Or, turn off DS Classic Menu from showing on startup, in TWLMenu++ settings.

Thank you sir! I wanted the Classic Menu to stay, but I didn't realize I could just hit B to get out of it. Such an easy solution, and faster than what I had been doing too.

I have to say, a DSi XL with Twilight Menu has completely rekindled my interest in the DS library. I have had tons of the games for years, but never got into any of them because I wasn't satisfied with the Phat DS or the DS Lite, and by that point Nintendo had already pissed me off with wasting enough money that I wasn't willing to give the DSi a chance.

Fast forward all these years later, and the lure of easily running the games off an SD card and finding cheap DSi LL units on eBay has me playing these titles like crazy! :D

If there's "USE_BOOTSTRAP" in "fat:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/settings.ini", make sure it's set to "1".

@Robz8 Is TwilightMenu compatible with the IR of the cartridge? For example: I have Pokemon Black 2 via TwilightMenu but I want to use infrared with Pokemon White inserted
