Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

AkiFire · Jul 11, 2020

Hey! What exactly should I do with the widescreen patches inside the 3DS CFW users folder (TWiLightMenu.7z->3DS - CFW users->_nds->TWiLightMenu->widescreen)? They're not mentioned in any of the guides (even the widescreen guide), so I'm really unsure whether or not the widescreen guide is up-to-date.
Also, is there still a need for a GBA bios file on the SD cards root?
I'm really new to 3DS modding, thanks in Advance!

All you have to do is follow the widescreen guide, and the patches will be used.
Also, yes, the GBA BIOS is still needed.

is the corruption with sd cards 64+gb of size mentioned in the op still an issue and if so how common is this and is there a way to make sure my card wont get corrupted (aside form the mentioned "disable "Save FAT table cache" in the Games/Apps page of TWLMenu++ Settings" or using a smaller card)?

is copying the content of the sd card to pc considered a "full backup"? meaning will the card and its content work right away again if i copy the content back to the card in case of a corruption?

There has been no reports as of recently, so disabling the setting is all you need.

Yes.

I have 2 questions!
First, my Pokemon Platinum Real Cardridge freezes everytime, on the Touch screen is some wierd 4 Points...
If it is possiblw to launch my real game, can I use cheats on my real Platinum like its possible qith usb loader gx on the wii to cheat on real games?

For some reason the Acekard theme isn't in the options, I only can select: Nintendo 3DS, SEGA Saturn, Homebrew Launcher, R4 Original and Nintendo DSi. Anyone know how to solve this? The theme is in the right folder, just no way to select it! I am running this on a 3DS with a seedminer CFW

If you're using the latest TWLMenu++ version, then you'll have to use something else to use your cartridge.

It's not in the current version.

Hi, I got a 2dsxl and was wondering if I were to install Twilight Menu could I play 3ds .cia files.

Nope. This can only launch DS(i) (and earlier console) games.

Hey,
if I save a game with GBArunner2, is SD card corruption still a possibility? I'm really concerned since I already played a game and saved and I also use a 64gb SD card.

No and it's not even necessary. With a standard Luma3DS installation you can install all the .CIA files you want*. TWiLight Menu++ is only if you want to play NDS games from your SD Card.

*Nintendo 3DS has a built-in limit of 300 titles.

I see, too bad, I always had an Acekard and would have loved being able to use this menu. You probably have a good reason to have removed it, would you mind elaborating on that?

There we're lots of bugs plaguing the Wood UI theme. It is supposedly returning in the next version, but we're not too sure.

excellent software this is exactly what the DS scene need. Hoping this encourages more homebrew and maturing of emulators for the ds.

WarioWare D.I.Y won't boot for me. It tries to create a save file and then I waited for 20 minutes and nothing!

Did you do what's stated above the save creation message?

I've been using the Universal Updater Homebrew for a while and realised there wasn't an NDS Boxart downloader available in the Scripts.

So I'm here to re-promote using your TWiLightMenu-Updater to get that.
Just downloaded the latest Homebrew version and enjoying the autostereoscopic logo it now has.

What effect does the DSiWare Exploit setting have?

It's for soft-reset to work correctly, when using a DSiWare exploit.
