Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

[SirFinesse]

Yes. Just delete the TWLMenu++ apps using FBI, and the `TWiLightMenu` folder in `sd:/_nds/`.

Okay, thank you. It removed TwilightMenu app but this app still remains and I cannot find it in the Titles folder on FBI

 

[AmandaRose]

Now there's no problem now with saving games, is it?
Because I would like to play dragon quest 5

Played it from start to finish with zero issues other than the introductory video being a bit glitched.

Change the grid view to single grid to see the title name, and then find it in FBI.

Yes. You can use v1.7#, and you install it just like you would, on a flashcard.
You won't be able to play videos with it though.

do you know of a working video player for the N3DS ?

 

[Pk11]

do you know of a working video player for the N3DS ?

Gericom's MPEG4 Player for DS and DSi and Robz's Rocket Video Player are both fairly good for DS mode. (For MPEG4 player I think the build in the first post is fairly old, the latest one by me is the latest)

For 3DS mode the n3DS browser's pretty good, but it can't play local files, I don't know of a homebrew player for local videos, but one may exist that I haven't heard of.

The latest MPEG4Player build will be included in the next TWLMenu++ version.

[satel]

Nope.

Did you convert the videos with the commands mentioned in the thread?

[satel]

Did you add the fps filter? If the video was at 24 or 30 fps or so it won't work, it needs to be 24000/1001 or 30000/1001 respectively

is this line correct : 256x144 -vffps=24000/1001"colorspace=space=ycgco

or is it missing something ?

 

[Pk11]

is this line correct : 256x144 -vffps=24000/1001"colorspace=space=ycgco

or is it missing something ?

It should be

256x144 -vf "fps=24000/1001, colorspace=space=ycgco

 

[satel]

It should be

256x144 -vf "fps=24000/1001, colorspace=space=ycgco

red text error something about unable to find suitable output format for colorspace

edit:
i removed the " before fps & it's now converting the video,lets hope it works

 

[satel]

It should be

256x144 -vf "fps=24000/1001, colorspace=space=ycgco

ok after adding the fps filter the video now has picture but sound is still the same. is there any setting for audio that i need to change ?

or do you think the best option to play video's properly on N3DS is via moonshel on R4 card ?

 

[Ora_Iso]

v12.0.0: TWLMenu++ XL/LL edition (Valentine's Day release)

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++.

Includes nds-bootstrap v0.29.0.

More AP-fixes, increased game compatibility, new video playing option,
Valentine's Day and 1st 2020 release!
This is...

TWiLight Menu++
XL edition
(or LL edition, if you live in Japan)

What's new?

• DSi: Added option to switch between Unlaunch and nds-bootstrap for DSiWare booting.
• (@Pk11) Use actual image size instead of preset sizes for box art.
• DSi/3DS/Saturn theme: The Quick Menu has become the DS Classic Menu, replacing the SELECT Menu, and shows whatever is inserted in Slot-1 on the top, as well as the last-launched ROM being on the bottom, instead of GBARunner2, and the Manual icon replacing the yellow arrow.
  If you're on a flashcard, then the last-launched ROM will be on the top as always, and GBA mode will be shown on the bottom.
  The DS Classic Menu can be accessed by pressing SELECT, and can be exited by pressing B.
  To switch between SD and flashcard (if compatible with direct access), hold SELECT+UP/DOWN.
• New AP fixes (from @retrogamefan) added!
  • Digimon Story: Lost Evolution (English translation)
  • Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (USA/Europe)
  • Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu (v3.01 English translation)
  • Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu (Chinese translation)
  • Jjangguneun Monmallyeo: Won Peulleoseu Won!: Shock Seong Land Daegyeoljeon!! (Korea)
  • Kirby: Mass Attack (USA/Europe)/Atsumete! Kirby (Japan)/Moyeora! Kirby (Korea)
  • Lupin Sansei: Shijou Saidai no Zunousen (English and Italian translations)
  • Magic Cheongkeuwa Mabeobui Seong (Korea)
  • Makeup Princess 2: Princess Life (Korea)
  • Naruto Jilpungjeon: Insuljeongae! Cha-Crash!! (Korea)
  • Tomodachi Collection (Japan) (Rev 0/1) (Fixed by me, to work on nds-bootstrap)
  • Tomodachi Collection (Rev 1) (English translation)
• A brand new splash screen for TWiLight Menu++ is now in use!
  It consists of neon bars moving, which later form the letters to the app's logo (like in MegaMan X and MegaMan Zero).
  As a Valentine's Day bonus, the BG will be in a different color than the regular blue!
• The DS splash bell jingle has been added, and will play on your birthday.
• (@maorninja) Manual: A new cheats page, with a tutorial to make your own.
• The console select screen on first boot, is now only shown on flashcards running in DSi mode.
• (@Pk11) Added proper UTF-8 handling.
• .mp4 files are now shown, and are played with @Gericom's MPEG4Player (included)!
  Instructions to convert video files are in the linked thread.
• (@Pk11) Acekard theme: You can now hide files.
• (@Pk11) Hidden Files now use FAT file attributes and no longer loads hidden file information from a .ini file.
• DSi/3DS: Added option to switch between the `SD Card` and `microSD Card` text.
• DSi: The DMA ROM read LED can now be changed separate from the regular ROM read LED.
• Lots of save sizes are now implemented and used, when creating a new .sav file.
• (@maorninja) Themes can now be set for the DS Classic Menu.

Improvements

• (@maorninja) To cut down on file size, most .bmp files have been converted to .png files, and both converted and existing ones have been optimized using tinypng.
  The new splash screen also cuts down on file size.
  Existing photos for the DSi theme (sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/dsimenu/photos/) also need to be converted to .png.
• The codebase is more organized, less repeats.
• Extended the `DSi binaries missing` message.
• SEGA Saturn theme: Fixed text placement.
• The font from the original DS menu, is now used in the DS Classic Menu.
• (@Pk11) Improved sorting options.
• Removed the `powered by nds-bootstrap` text, as nds-bootstrap only runs the DS games (and old homebrew) from the SD card (or flashcard, if using B4DS).

Bug fixes

• The cartridge of Golden Sun: Dark Dawn can now be launched.
• When launching GBA ROM on flashcard, use DSi/3DS build of GBARunner2, if DSi mode is detected.
• You can no longer delete or hide the Back/.. folder.
• (@maorninja) Per-game settings now affects flashcards in the Acekard theme.
• DSi/3DS/Saturn/R4 theme: Fixed per-game settings not showing for homebrew, if nds-bootstrap (B4DS) is disabled.
• (@maorninja) Acekard theme: Writing to R4iSDHC's last save is now supported.
• Chessmaster, Need for Speed: ProStreet, Suikoden: Tierkreis, and Tony Hawk's American Sk8land now work with auto heap shrink.

Known bug

• For some reason, the inserted game card's banner icon and text isn't shown on 3DS consoles.
