Sorry to say this, but I can't help you. I could if I knew more about programming.

I managed to get the problem console to launch .nds games by downgrading to a previous install of DSiMenu++. I guess it's just fussy, since the beta build works on one of my consoles but not the other. Any input, @Robz8 ?

Hi, longtime lurker here. Thanks for all your guides and resources.

Now, usually I would just browse the forums looking for answers but this time I just can't seem to find what I need to do to correct the (minor) issues I'm having with DSimenu++

As stated, these are minor and everything else works just right (game covers show up, runs nds, nes and gb/gbc games) but still I just can't get out of my head that maybe I did something wrong.


I'm running on a DSi XL with HiyaCFW on a 2GB card (also tested on a 32GB card). I used the guide at cfw.guide as recommended on "A noob's guide to DSi hacking end-to-end"

EDIT: HiyaCFW works fine. Booting up while pressing Select takes me to the CFW options (splash screen, autoboot, etc).

Followed these instructions as well:



These are my symtoms:

- I've seen several Youtube videos where running DSimenu++ boots straigh into the roms menu. Mine boots to the root of the SD card.

Booting into the SD root occurs on newer DSiMenu++ versions.
When you go into your DS ROM folder, you'll start there instead.

- L/R don't switch pages. I get an error buzz instead.

You need to have more than 40 ROMs in your folder to switch pages.

- Up/down doesn't switch between roms and dsiware. I get no feedback from the console (no sound, no graphical glitch, etc)

You have to go into the folder with the DSiWare. (roms/dsiware)

- Pressing Y does nothing

That was only a thing in the previous versions.

- Pressing X prompts me to delete the selected item (folder, game, etc), unless I'm at the Start menu (where Settings, Launch slot-1 card and GBArunner show up); pressing X at that screen takes me back to stock DSi menu.

That's normal.

- Running "Settings" at the Start menu reboots DSimenu++

Strange. That issue doesn't happen for me.

As stated, everything else works fine, I can run DSiware and roms, even AP patched (at least the few I've tried) and the game covers show up at the top screen. What really irks me is the inability to enter the Settings screen.

Anyone has any idea what I'm missing? The closest thing I've seen reported is someone on reddit saying that launching Settings frezzes his 3DS console. The advice he got was to delete a settings.ini file (which I don't have and I couldn't find any on the 7z file from github).

"settings.ini" is at "sd:/_nds/dsimenuplusplus".

The latest DSiMenu++ has some bugs, and they should be fixed in the next version.

Sorry to repeat myself this much, but when will there be a fix to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon not booting?

@Robz8, I don't have the "settings.ini" file in my SD card and neither in the contents of the .7z file. Maybe that's why the settings menu doesn't start?

I'll download a few past relases and see if it's there. Maybe putting a blank "settings.ini" file would do the trick? I'll report back.

Even after going into the roms folders doesn't fix the Up/down issue but I guess it's related to the Settings issue somehow.

Eitherway, as I stated, the issues are minor (it seems that boxart is enabled by default and that was what I wanted to change anyway).

I didn't say it would fix the issue. Up/Down is now used to switch between the SD card and flashcard, if DSiMenu++ supports it.

Oh I get it. Then it seems the only issue I have is the reboot after running "Settings".



EDIT: Wooooot. Putting a blank settings.ini file worked...and it looks like I'll have to switch the GUI to english; accent marks don't display fine ATM it seems.

(yeah, I need to fix the top screen XD)

@Robz8 Thank you for your assistance.


EDIT 2: Now it boots to the NDS roms folder too!

For some reason launching DSiWare is taking a looooong time, like, 15 seconds. It started right after I formated my SD Card and installed the newest version

 

[Raulix]

I hope that v.0.11.3 of nds-bootstrap gets a ds download play feature or maybe a multiplayer fix/patch

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also, the feature. Oh man that's cool that you can switch between flashcart and the SD card.

 

[t0w3l]

Do you need Hiya to use the Flashcard feature?

 

[RocketRobz]

Do you need Hiya to use the Flashcard feature?

No. You just need a compatible flashcard.

 

[t0w3l]

No. You just need a compatible flashcard.

Oh, ok. I guess R4iTT and R4iSDHC are not compatible

 

[RocketRobz]

Oh, ok. I guess R4iTT and R4iSDHC are not compatible

If a flashcard spoofs a commercial/retail game, then it's likely that it won't be compatible in future versions of DSiMenu++.

 

[t0w3l]

Also my R4iTT doesn't boot from outside DSiMenu++ for some reason. Is that a side effect from unlaunch?
