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

[RocketRobz]

I'm new to this tool, what do you think I have to do?
When I load the ROM, it shows this:

Should I try to trim the ROM?

You have to AP-patch the ROM, which you can't for this ROM.
Get a clean dump of this ROM, before AP-patching.

Put it in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/apfix/".
The .ips must be named the game's TID, alongside the ROM's header CRC.

I've just tried that and it is still not working:

copy  cr-kssp2.ips  S:\_nds\TWiLightMenu\apfix\AKWE-F9C8.ips
copy  cr-kssp2.ips  S:\_nds\TWiLightMenu\apfix\AKWE-C8F9.ips

I've also tried statically patching the rom, but it is still not working in TM++. (original ROM crc32: 5c90df04)
The strange thing is the patched ROM is actually working as intended when running with MelonDS...

I think I found the problem here.
The tool is intended to take information from DS-Scene site, isn't it? Well, in their page, doesn't figure spanish Pokémon White 2, so the tool doesn't show details about the game.
These are the only Pokémon B2/W2 entries in DS-Scene:

The Platinum bug is related to RTC polling, which can sometimes glitch, due to loading from the SD card.
Also, the Kirby bug is just a bug in the game itself, and also happens on flashcards.

The issue seems to not exist in the 3ds version of bootstrap, only the regular dsi one.
Maybe i got lucky in the 3ds version and didn't experience it though (since the freezing seems to be random)

You're right. It's a DSi-only bug.

Hi there,
First, I wanted to thank you, Robz8. You are carrying the whole DS, DSI and 3DS community with your projects. Thank you !

Hello.View attachment 235779



Thank you for the Update and your Progress/Implementation for the EZ Flash Device.

Tested with both Flashcards (R4iTT v1.6 and R4 SDHC Dual Core 2018) and the EZ Flash IV Device on DS Lite(s) with/without FlashME.

It boots into the GBA Mode but unfortunately it stays on the White Screen after the GameBoy Advance Animation Logo:

GBA Files are set to NATIVE of course,when the EZ Flash IV is detached,TWiLight shows no GBA Roms.

Maybe because of the "ez5sys.bin" I think ?


Thank you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this maybe helpful ?

I think that I have the same issue. I have the EZ-Flash 3 in 1 expansion pack with a golden sun previously injected in it (long time ago).

When I try to inject another game through Twilight Menu ++, I have the same white screen with gba border. The rom is Advance Wars (8Mo).

But here are some interesting things I have noticed.
- Even after the failed injection, I can start Golden Sun from the DS menu, which means the injection has not altered the content of the memory of the Ez-flash card at all.
- With the previous version of Twilight menu ++, when I was starting golden sun with the golden GBA cartridge icon(3DS theme), it was starting the game properly. It's not the case anymore with the latest version.

Thank you

WARNING
When using this with SD cards that are 64GB or above, make sure "Save FAT table cache" is disabled in the Games/Apps page of TWLMenu++ Settings. Your SD card may become corrupt, due to an issue with saved FAT tables by nds-bootstrap.
If it's already turned off when corruption happened, then it's due to an issue with either libnds or libfat, or your SD card may be dying.[/QUOTE]

is safe use on SD 128 GB?

is safe use on SD 128 GB?

As long as the setting is off (which should be by default), then yes.

Is there any possible way to make Etrian Odessey R 3, EO3R for short, a romhack work on this? It seems to crash when using certain skills and I'll assume that sailing will have some issues with this romhack

Hey guys.

My SD card (fat filesystem) got corrupted several times in my DSi+uLaunch+TWM++ (was on 16.5.0 and now on 17.1.1).
The sd card size is 32GB and the fat32 partition is 16GB in size.
Now most of the time Twilightmenu++ just doesnt boot (white screen).
No problem, i hae a backup and restoring it.
Also will try another sd card.

Just a little question:
How is the right way to power off / reset / return to TWM++ the DSI?
Me and my son just pressing the power button once to reset or long to switch it off.

Is this the right way? Could this lead to the fat corruptions?

Thanks a lot

This is the right way to power off.
Sounds like your current SD card is dying.

Thanks, now using another sd card and see how it goes.
Thx for the info regarding power down, so we are doing it correctly :-)

thx

DSi mode doesn't work yet. You'll need to install them as .cia files.

The current working DSiWare are

1. Pop Island
2. Pop Island: Paperfield

Since DSi mode doesn't work yet, the DS mode demo version with the short music loop will start.

Good news!



I just got a SuperCard MiniSD, and now I can test the native GBA ROM feature!
For some weird reason, retail/commercial ROMs will not boot (as others have encountered), but homebrew/demoscene/cracktro ROMs will boot.

After more testing, it seems only games that use either SRAM or no save type will work.

EDIT: Also, saving does not work, and .sav files are overwritten with corrupt data. Probably just my SC MiniSD though.
EDIT2: Never mind! Just needed to read the SRAM differently! The fix will be in the next version.
