Tested on Nintendo DSi.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for trying, i am reinstalling twilight now. .

I am on a new 2ds by the way with latest luma firmware

Update:
Still not working for me. Iget black screen on top and whitescreen on bottom. Waited a few minutes and restarted manually.

Nope, the Twlbg.cxl file with the filter now becomes Twlbg_bak.cxl and a Twlbg.cxl that causes everything to become widescreen is created which when deleted causes the glitch to go away but comes back when playing a game in 16:10

Update: So, the glitch only happens if the aspect ratio in the per-game setting is set to 16:10. This means I can set the aspect ratio in the Game/apps settings to 16:10 while in the per-game setting set it to default for 16:10 or 4:3 for 4:3, bcause If the aspect ratio is set to 16:10 in the games/apps setting inside the TWMenu++ settings, a Twlbg.cxl file is not created inside sysmodules

I deleted all cxi files from Luma sysmodules and twmenu twlbg folder and follow these instruction. Ay attention that first you need to MOVE the xci file to twlbg folder, and the this file will be recreated again when you re run the Sonos patch

I've already found a sort of fix. Like I've said in the update, I can set the aspect ratio in the Game/apps settings to 16:10 while in the per-game setting set it to default for 16:10 or 4:3 for 4:3, bcause If the aspect ratio is set to 16:10 in the games/apps setting inside the TWMenu++ settings, a Twlbg.cxl file is not created inside sysmodules.
So, in a nutshell, I guess I forgot to set the aspect ratio to 16:10 in the games/apps setting because I thought it would be better to set it so that widescreen supported games would be set to 16:10 while default would be 4:3, however setting the aspect ratio to 16:10 in the per game setting is bugged I guess

You need to run the games in DS mode.

Greetings! Before I ask my question, let me say this app is amazing and really shows the homebrew potential of this community. However as a regular user (colloquially known as, an idiot) I have an issue.

I have a rom for Pokemon Heartgold. These things I know to be true;
- The rom is AP patched (I'm aware the software does this anyway)
- The rom is Randomized
- The rom has custom sprites imported

I can load this rom into Desemume or noGBA and it works, I can play and access menus no problem. However when I load the rom through EITHER my own R4 card (through my 3DS, using TwiMenu) or from the TwiMenu roms menu itself... I get the following issue. The game will load and run just fine, until I attempt to either look at the "Summary" page of a mon, or access a battle. At either point the music will freeze up and I will hang on a black screen! This issue is not present on any non-TwiMenu emulation.

Sadly, I am not able to check my R4 using an older Ds because mine broke recently.

To my best knowledge I am running the latest version of TwiMenu (I updated today just in case) and my app settings are not tampered with. I am running it on an Old 3DS using CFW.

If anyone can think of a suggestion, or something I should double-check, I'd love to know! Just thought I'd check in.

Did you tried and checked the TWiLight Ingame Cheats (press"Y" to get into the InGame Menu and then "X" for the Cheats please)
and enabled the AP Bypass Cheat Fix too ?
Since there are only custom Sprites imported the Game ID should be the same.
Please check also the following Settings in the TWiLight Settings Menu (press Select on the Game Selection Screen in TWiLight please and choose "TWLMenu ++ Settings".)
On the Page "Games and Apps settings" check this Entries please:

Expand ROM to space in RAM - Yes (can be reverted if it still crashes)
Cache block size - 32KB (same)
Save FAT table cache - No

Good Luck.

Thank you.

A little "Side Note" for Updating with Universal Updater - It downloaded the Version 4.1.0 and installed it but then comes the
"The TWiLight Menu++ Updater is now not discontinued" Message when you start the Updater.

I sended over the .cia File from this Thread with FBI/Boop and also installed it.Then on the Updater appears the Notification for the Updater Update.
After downloading Version 4.1.0 "again" and successful Installation I exited the Updater and got am ARM Exception Screen.
After Re-Booting the 3DS it worked then finally.


I hope you all have not that Experiences when Updating.

Good Luck.

Thank you for having the Updater back.

I updated the twilight menu updater on 2 different n3ds xl systems to v4.1.0, and updated twilight menu and ndsbootstrap using the program on both systems. I open the app afterwards and it ask if you want to scan for updates.

After pressing A to confirm i get a message saying "The github API rate limit has been exceeded for your IP. you can regain access by signing in to a github account or waiting a bit."

Just wondering what this is and if somethings wrong since i never got this message with the previous version of the twilight menu updater.

GitHub has an API rate limit, so downloads are restricted.

Delete "nds-bootstrap.ini" at "sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini".
If the issue persists, make sure you're running the games in DS mode.

i deleted the .ini file but im still getting the black/white screen with DS mode active,
will i have to completely reinstall twilight menu and the updater?

Lastly, try deleting "settings.ini" at "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/".
If the same thing happens again, then reinstall.

its a homebrew which allows you to run NDS roms off a sd card.
