Just forgot something, where can you access the per-game settings, sub-themes and donor ROM settings?
Per-game settings: Select button in DSi Menu theme.
Sub-themes: Press A on the selected theme in Settings screen.
Donor ROM settings is part of both the per-game settings and START menus.

I've tried to run TWLoader with my flashcard "R4 Upgrade Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS) www.r4i-sdhc.com" (picture) without luck, after all the settings I get a "No info" card in TWloader that, if launched, makes TWL crash and go back to Home Menu.
I've copied the needed files (first link) on the root of the SD and updated the bootstrap (don't know if it's needed, it was already the latest version).

Did I miss something or maybe is my flashcard not supported?

@Robz8 Sorry about bothering again, but do you have news about my issue?

Sorry about that, I've forgotten to add the files to the _nds folder on the SD card. It's working now, or at least from the "Add games" feature (which actually boot my games from the flashcard). The other option stay blank with No Info and crash TWLoader if selected.

Is there a way to change the YASU background from the DS menu (I get a Pokemon Black/White 2 one, and good part of the options are not visible/menu buttons are displaying the code instead of the text).

How difficult is it to add support for other flashcards? I have the original R4ISDHC RTS Lite from r4isdhc.com (also known as "rtssilver", but older than the oldest one shown on their site) and TWLoader doesn't seem to be compatible with it.
The main difference between this flashcard and others is that the menu filename is r4.DAT (so I have created a copy of TTfwd.DAT with that name from another pack)
Since the "Add game" function boots to a white screen for me, I have launched twloader.nds from the flashcard, but so far it appears to be frozen at "Now caching banner data"

SD access is disabled when launching the flashcard itself, then twloader.nds.

Good to know.
After some more research it turns out my card can't load DSi Enhanced games from YSMenu, and just has bad firmware in general so it's not likely to play nice with TWLoader.
I'm considering getting a different flashcard - can anyone recommend a good cheap one that can load DSi Enhanced games in TWLoader?

Goddamn it worked flawless even on NTR settings, PCE-CD on O3DS at full speed finaly!!!
A bit off topic, but how did you go with Dracula X? Have you been having trouble getting it to save your progress once you exit the emulator?
It's working flawlessly at NTR speed for me on a M3DS real on n3DS. I can't get it to boot past "L+R select game" screen on TWL, but no matter.

I'm getting really good at the first couple of stages, but want to progress a bit further. I'll take the steady framerate of Nitrografx with cut off/squashed screens over the janky stuttering on Retroarch.

Any help would be appreciated.

R4i-SDHC RTS from r4i-sdhc.com (not to be confused with r4isdhc.com)

I don't know where to write.
DS games from SD in TWLoader, Flash Card (r4i Dual Core) and even DSiWare games (CIA format) won't work. Black Screen. I Don't know when and why them stop work. Few months ago they work.

"DSi / DS functionality is broken after completing the guide" not make result

You might have a corrupted TWLNAND, somehow.

Please note that flashcards from r4i-sdhc.com have a timebomb (the current kernel v1.84b will expire on September 3rd, 2019).
No they don't, the cards from r4isdhc.com do... Not to mention that YSMenu works flawlessly on that card and loads DSi-Enhanced titles (unlike r4isdhc.com cards).

    Hello
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
