Does nds-bootstrap work with a Supercard DSTWO and can it use the card's extra processing power?

I have a DS Lite with a DSTWO 2 in 1 and I was thinking about replacing the normal firmware (Supercard's firmware) with Twlight Menu. I was wondering if nds-bootstrap works with it and uses the extra processing power because there are some dsiware games I want to play

Thanks!

I've tried. maybe it's okay decision for cheaper simpler cards, but I think supercard OS is superior as user experience and more stable for sure

You can use both, TWL++ and the supercard OS.

We take the case that you have already the supercard OS installed :

1) Download https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases/latest/download/TWiLightMenu-Flashcard.7z
2) Extract the archive
3) Copy at the root of your SD card the _nds folder and BOOT.NDS
4) Launch the BOOT.NDS like you would do for a game or an Hombrew

With twilight menu, you can play some DSiware titles or launch some addons for homebrews like some PC ports addons.

However, you will not have extra power.
