Assuming you have EmuNAND, install the two CIAs in SysNAND as well.

Just put numbers in the start of each rom name. For instance

1chronotrigger.nds
2newsupermario
3finalfantasy

Ect ect

That is the only way to sort them in the order you want.

Do you have these files in the "_nds" folder?
"nds-bootstrap-release.nds"
"nds-bootstrap-nightly.nds"

Yes, "_nds" folder files:
16/08/2018 23:29 <DIR> dsimenuplusplus
11/07/2018 01:16 128.512 GBARunner2_fc.nds

02/03/2018 00:30 326.656 unofficial-bootstrap.nds

I think there are mixed TWLoader files.
Previously I had the TWLoader 6.6.7 and 6.7

nds-bootstrap.ini content conf:

[NDS-BOOTSTRAP]
NDS_PATH = sd:/roms/nds/0168 - Mario Kart DS (U)(SCZ).nds
SAV_PATH = sd:/roms/nds/0168 - Mario Kart DS (U)(SCZ).sav
DONOR_SDK_VER = 3
BOOTSTRAP_PATH = sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.nds
ROMREAD_LED = 0
BOOST_CPU = 0
DEBUG = 0
LOCK_ARM9_SCFG_EXT = 0
PATCH_MPU_REGION = 0
PATCH_MPU_SIZE = 0
CONSOLE_MODEL = 2
LOADING_SCREEN = 1
LANGUAGE = -1
ASYNC_PREFETCH = 1
GAME_SOFT_RESET = 1

In addition for security, additionally install these CIAs:
dsi--ds-functionality-is-broken-after-completing-the-guide
- Old_3DS TWL_FIRM - v8817.cia
- TWL Version Data - v0.cia
- DS Internet - v2048.cia
- DS Download Play - v1024.cia
- Nintendo DS Cart Whitelist - v11264.cia

DSiMenu++ v5.5.1: Let's fix touch more!

UPDATE 8/21/2018: Settings screen now shows the version as v5.5.1.
If you already updated to v5.5.1, please re-download this, and overwrite the "_nds" folder on the SD root, with the new one from the .7z file.

UPDATE 8/21/2018 No. 2: v5.5.0's "bootcode.dsi" is now included, as the file from this version was just showing black screens.

Update instructions

1. Overwrite the "_nds" folder and "boot.nds" file on the SD root, with the new ones from the .7z file.
2. For DSi CFW users, put "title" folder from "CFW - SDNAND root" folder, onto the SD card root.
   If you're asked to overwrite, click Yes.
3. On 3DS, install the two CIAs in the "cia" folder.

What's new?

• Touch support has been added to the DSiMenu++ GUI!

Bug fixes

• DSi/3DS theme: In order to avoid font corruption, the font is now reloaded whenever scrolling through games in the menu.
• DSiMenu++ will now tell the launched homebrew to use NTR touch mode, if the homebrew (with DSi header) is recently compiled, and if not using DSiWarehax.
  One example is GameYob (built into DSiMenu++), which has been recompiled with touch mode checking (included in latest libnds), so touch now works both in and out of DSiWarehax.
• .launcharg files are no longer shown on 3DS/2DS.

Known bug

• In nesDS TWL Edition (also built into DSiMenu++), touch still only works for DSiWarehax users, as recompiling it with latest libnds does indeed fix NTR touch, but emulator decides to crash after a few seconds.

That's great! I was starting to think I'd have to always see one of the game banners replacing all of the text on the menu and in ndsbootstrap's loading screen after scrolling for only a few seconds!

 

[t0w3l]

Still found some Banner Corruption (the banner's pallette becoming blue), but I'm not really complaining.

I just started playing Pokemon Black and it will occasionally freeze for about a second randomly. I've patched it and disabled async prefetch but I'm still having issues. It's playable but it does get a little annoying, was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it?

 

[laharl22]

i have black screen on boot with bootcode.dsi on my two dsi with dsimenupp latest release

 

[zeroultima6]

Minor bug: even though its 5.5.1, the version number in the settings menu still says 5.5.0.

 

[laharl22]

how to fix black screen on my 2 dsi ?

 

[Jvhellraiser]

I am using 3ds theme fonts look ok, the weird thing is the L & R buttons on the top screen the look double,also in settings it says is v.5.5.0 still.

 

[Tarmfot]

nope. Would be hard to implement.

Ok. Thanks. Using the r4 theme would still be hard to implement, too?

 

[Pmelo1001]

Some one can Help me to install dsimenu++ on R4i-sdhc dual-core?

TWL_FIRM bug. Try restarting DSiMenu++.

also in settings it says is v.5.5.0 still.

Somehow forgot to change that, even though it's committed, lol.
I've fixed the v5.5.1 release, and now shows the correct version.

Yes.

Just follow the steps in the first post, but skip the steps involving the flashcard pack.

 

[Pmelo1001]

but what file do I use from the Flashcard autoboot folder for the R4isdhc dual core?

 

[RocketRobz]

There is no flashcard autoboot file for it, so you can't autoboot. Just use the regular flashcard menu to boot "boot_fc.nds".

Glad to see I'm not alone. I don't know what the issue is exactly but I imagine it might have something to do with the speed of SD cards. I wonder if people who use .nds dumped from actual cartridges experience any of this.

 

[zeroultima6]

Now i surprised no one address this issue yet, in the emulators folder when you copy the files (specifically nesds.nds) to the sd card wirelessly it forces to give permission to do so, even if it did it won't copy/move that particular file like it was read-only.
