Aside from installing Flashme, DS Phats and DS Lites cannot be hacked. They can run any flashcard without extra requirements.
Thank you!
Yes, you can safely go through the setup.
Haha, i finally found the thread were i belong! xD
So, i have multiple noob questions.
1: which exploit is best/safest? I have flipnote and a working camera
2: is unlauch really necessary? What are the benefits of unlaunch?
3: how often does twilight menu get updated, and is updating it easy?
4: does unlaunch get updates?
5: i have both .nds and .sav files from my sd copy, all these files are from the games i played, which do i need to copy? Both? Do i need to zip them into 1 file?
6: what happens if i accidentally power on the ds without sd?
7: is a 3gb sd good enough? Also is it a problem if the sd is from 2012?
8: can i change a settinf so that twilight launches when i power on my ds? (With sd card in
9: i don't wanna leave my ds card slot empty because what if anythinf gets into it (eg. Dust) can i safely put the ndstt card without sd in it?
10: on a scale of 0-10 how noob am i
sd:/roms/DS/Mario Kart DS.nds and sd:/roms/DS/saves/Mario Kart DS.savNO BUTTON set to TWiLight Menu++ in Unlaunch, it'll load whatever you set as LOAD ERROR, people usually either do Unlaunch's filemenu or the DSi Menu (Launcher); if you set NO BUTTON to the SysNAND DSi Menu then it will load as normalOPTIONS and set NO BUTTON to TWiLight Menu++ (sdmc:/BOOT.NDS)
ahh thank you so much! I´m not sure what to do with my sd now, a 32 gb is delivered alongside the adapter, but i wanted to put that one in my phone. i might try and buy whatever size card is fast enough, if i can´t (parents dont allow me to spend my money on anything i want for some reason) i´ll just format the 3gb one and throw tiktok on that sd lol.
- See the dsi.cfw.guide FAQ, Memory Pit and FlipNote ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) are equally safe, Unlaunch has a very tiny brick risk, more or less the same as doing a System Update, but is the best exploit as long as it works
- It's not required, but is generally recommended; the main benefits are listed in the FAQ linked above, main ones are that it allows homebrew full access to the hardware and to load immediately on boot
- TWiLight Menu++ updates quite frequently, every few weeks or so; updating is very easy, just copy everything (or just _nds) from the new 7Z, we may make an on console single click updater like on 3DS some day but Wi-Fi has been tricky
- It used to update every few months, but has not been updated since 27 Aug 2019
- For TWiLight Menu++ you need the ROM wherever you want on the SD card (besides _nds), then the save file goes in a "saves" folder next to the ROM; Ex.
sd:/roms/DS/Mario Kart DS.ndsandsd:/roms/DS/saves/Mario Kart DS.sav- Assuming you have
NO BUTTONset to TWiLight Menu++ in Unlaunch, it'll load whatever you set asLOAD ERROR, people usually either do Unlaunch's filemenu or the DSi Menu (Launcher); if you setNO BUTTONto the SysNAND DSi Menu then it will load as normal- Yes, though perhaps a bit small, I usually recommend 8~32 GB; Not inherently, but SD cards are not known for being the most reliable things ever so you may want to look into a new one, if it's class 2 or worse that may also cause issues, though DSi is not exactly fast at SD speeds itself
- Install Unlaunch (no other exploit works at boot) and go to
OPTIONSand setNO BUTTONtoTWiLight Menu++(sdmc:/BOOT.NDS)- That's fine, though a DSTT may cause issues loading the official DSi Menu with Unlaunch installed as the DSTT will load automatically
- Hmm, maybe a 6 or so, you seem to know enough to know what questions to ask
Sandisk and Samsung are generally considered the best brands. Anything you buy today should be more than fast enough, there should be a C2/4/6/8/10 somewhere on the SD, that's the class of it, the higher the better but anything above 2 is probably more than good enough for DSi. Even 2 might be fine but class 2 cards tend to kinda suck. If it doesn't have one then it's not even good enough to pass class 2.
awesome, thanks for your replies! both of your replies were really helpful
To have TWLMenu++ autoboot a game, set "AUTORUNGAME" to "1" in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/settings.ini".
oh wow, that was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!!!
Yep, for the DSi theme there's already several on the skins site, and it's not too hard to make your own either.
If you have an sdnand set up then you can install dsiware titles to it, although there's a limit to how much you can install iirc. And it requires having Hiyacfw.
Any of the DSiWare titles (even system titles, except System Settings(?)) lock out access to Slot-1, so Unlaunch is still required.
Unlaunch is somewhat the equivalent of GodMode9 for DSi systems. It's always handy to have, specially if you're running into system issues..
