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

[Freb08]

You need to use DS-Scene ROM Tool to open the ROM, and then export it with the AP-patch applied.

It seems to be working thanks

Start failed. Error -2 when I try load games

Try updating TWiLight Menu++ then.

No clue if this is the right place to ask, but any idea why Bust-a-Move DS/Hippatte Puzzle Bobble's music sounds like the orchestra's being assassinated when being loaded through Twilight Menu? I've tried both the International and the JP rom and neither seem to have correct sounding music.

Why that happens is because of a sound function not being patched like in other games.
It'll be patched for that game in the next nds-bootstrap version.

@RocketRobz (et al),

Any chance in a future TWL++ we can get mapping for .msx to launch in ColecoDS? I'm a half-day away from releasing 8.2 with much improved support for full keyboards across the board with some improvements to the MSX driver and a .msx game will load up perfectly from the command-line.

Similarly, the .ddp is a digital data pack that will load with ColecoDS's ADAM support as will a .dsk if those extensions aren't already in use.

.sc games will load as an SC-3000 variant of the .sg (SG-1000 console) with ColecoDS.

.mtx will load as Memotech MTX games in ColecoDS.

.pv will load as PV-2000 games in ColecoDS.

.cv will load as CreatiVision games in ColecoDS.

This was all true even with 8.1 (currently released) but it all gets a facelift with the upcoming 8.2.

Don't worry if these aren't easy to add... but wanted to give you guys the options!

Did the update remove GBArunner on the DS screen at the beginning? I don't see it on the screen anymore, now it's Slot 1 or last played rom as the only options

Do I have to add it as a nds file with my roms

No. GBA ROMs can now be launched like with DS ROMs.

It is unfortunately normal for some cheats to not work.
Which cheat(s) isn't working?

Hey everyone,

I was looking online for an answer and couldn't find, so here I am.

I'm using the screen swap function on nds_bootstrap for some games as I prefer to have the top screen as main screen, but I have to make the swap every time I start a game.

While that is no too hard to do or anything, it is mildly annoying. So I was wondering if there was a way to save the settings somehow.

I'm playing on the 3DS through YANBF, if this changes the configuration or anything.

Thanks in advance

The setting will be saved per-game in the next nds-bootstrap version.

Nice! Looking forward to it!

Today I booted up TWiLight menu ++ on my ACE3ds+ clone flashcart (on my 3DS). Usually I have it set so it boots up with a DSi splash screen. However, today it booted up with a Virtual Boy splash screen. I searched it up and apparently it's an April fools joke, but I checked my date and time and they were correct, so I'm unsure as to why this is happening. Any suggestions on how to fix?

Never mind, just solved my own issue. The Virtual boy was released today in 1995 in America. Sorry for the message

Easily fixed by waiting for tomorrow lol.

You are seeing the Virtual Boy splash because the Virtual Boy came out in America on the 14th August 1995 and today is the 14th of August

@RocketRobz

Could you add a way (TM settings option?) to be able to use codes by Game ID instead of only checksum?

The reason being: To be able to use cheats for ROM hacks like those for example NSMB DS that share the same ID as the original ROM.

It can be irritating having to use the r4 editor to add codes for every ROM hack.

Hopefully someone else can make a more stable replacement.

@RocketRobz
A repost of my question in case you missed it.

This is not planned, as there are some ROM hacks which may have different placements of their code, so there's a possibility of the cheat code not working without changing it for the ROM hack.
