when I downloaded the latest version and after bootup the file browser would just freeze and show nothing. Maybe this is just a me issue, but I thought I might point it out

nevermind, fixed it somehow. Though I still notice that even on the R4 menu (my preferred menu for twilight menu) entering directories takes longer than last update. Im using an old3ds btw if that helps
Make sure Logging is turned off in the GUI page of TWLMenu++ Settings.
If the issue persists, then it's possibly caused by the single-character bugfix.

Hi guys. I am about to install Twilight Menu on my N3DS to internal memory through FBI App. I have a quick question about Twilight Menu usage: When I am playing a DS game, how do I quit game and select a different one? Thoughts and help appreciated :)

You press L+Down+Select to open the nds-bootstrap in-game menu, and select "Quit Game".
If that doesn't work, then hold L+R+Down+B for 2 seconds.

Sounds like you're using an outdated version of Luma. Please update it by either using Universal-Updater, or by downloading the latest Luma manually.
Thank you for the reply. I found a fix in another thread. Someone suggested to enable game patching in luma settings.

Quick question: How do I run NES/SNES and GB/GBA games? Do I just put the files in the specified directories on SD card?

Hey again. How does saving work in NES, SNES, and Gameboy/GBC games in Twilight Menu?
In NES, you touch the bottom screen, and find the Save (?)RAM option (idk where it is). SNES, you can't. GB(C), it's either done automatically, or touch the bottom screen to find the save option.

Also, if you have future questions, please join our Discord server.

    because i didn't say i was asleep

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
