Some DS games had content you could only access by slotting-in a specific GBA cart. Is there a way to emulate this feature currently? I searched already regarding this topic and wasn't able to find anything, though there's a good chance I missed something since it's so specific.

TWiLight refuses to load Pokemon Black - black top screen, white bottom screen.
Updated TWiLight, tried DSi Mode and DS Mode...nothing.
Try using TWiLight Menu++ Updater to download cheats, hover over the game, press Y, then press X. If cheats show up, then it's possibly a bug, but if not, then your ROM is bad.

Edit: if you're on a DS with flashcard, you'll possibly need to download a cheat file for your flashcard manually.

Cheats do show up.

What step are you stuck on?
Hi rob im having an issue with your widescreen tutorial as nothing is booting up in 16:10 not twilight menu, not the menu itself, none of my roms, and none of my forwarders what am I doing wrong I used this tutorial https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/wiki/Playing-in-Widescreen
only thing I can think of is before doing this process I installed a widescreen cheat from the cheats menu of twilight for renegade platinum and I cant remove the cheat maybe its that but I dont see how that would affect literally every other rom

Widescreen isn't working for me, either.

Edit: Oh wait, I need a patch. Never mind.

Widescreen will work differently in the next version.
It'll no longer manually reboot into the Widescreen TwlBg, and instead, will just check for the TwlBg in "sd:/luma/sysmodules/", and of course, if the 16:10 aspect ratio option is enabled.
The TwlBg.cxi file you're using must also be widescreen.

sounds like it would be a lot less stress inducing to just wait for the next version. by the way are you talking about the next version of twilight or the twl patcher?

v16.2.0: Labor Day release

What's new?
  • The splash screen has been updated to reflect the official cover art!
    • Color banding has been minimized for both the TWLMenu++ BG and RocketRobz logo!
  • DSi mode only: Color banding has been minimized for the photos displayed by the DSi theme, as well as box art.
  • To make testing on NO$GBA easy, the NitroFS data is now read from the GBA slot instead of the SD card, if a .srldr file is booted by NO$GBA.
  • Widescreen is now handled differently.
    • Re-follow the widescreen guide, as it has been updated.
    • Games that are incompatible with widescreen, will be stretched to 16:10.
  • R4 theme now uses png files with more colors, instead of bmp files!
  • The Homebrew Launcher music can now be set in TWLMenu++ Settings!
Bug fixes
  • Sound crackles should no longer occur in nds-bootstrap.
  • Updated TWLCFG check. If the name is found as empty, it'll fall back to the user settings from the DS firmware.
  • Kung Fu Panda and Surf's Up can now boot with Heap Shrink set to Auto.
  • Other fixes to enhance the user experience.

Either this release is really broken or my SD Card is starting to go bad.
DSi theme, New 3DS XL, the background behind the box art is flashing rapidly, the menu theme is stuttering, and I can't do anything... literally, none of my buttons work except the home button. None of this happened until I updated today, though a few days ago the intro sound did stop playing frequently.
The problems can be fixed by uninstalling and downgrading to the previous version, but this clearly isn't ideal.
