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

[RocketRobz]

Quick question, under step 2

2. 3DS/2DS: Put this in "fat:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini":
[NDS-BOOTSTRAP]
CONSOLE_MODEL = 2;
If you're on N3DS/N2DS, then put in 3 instead of 2.

do I need to do this to the ini file inside the SD card of my 2DSXL or the ini file inside the sd card of my flashcart?

Skip this step. It is no longer needed.

 

[RocketRobz]

also is there a way to turn .cia files to nds?

Yes. Use a hex-editor to trim off the first 0x3900 bytes, then save as a .nds file.

Is there a step that I need to follow to make it work with DSTT? When I try to launch my flashcart, an error will occur rather that booting twilight ++

If you're trying to launch it using TWLMenu++, go into settings, and change Slot-1 launch method to Direct.

I did that, but it still load my SD card and not my flashcart.
I'm also getting a "DLDI init failed" when I tried to launch the flashcart.

Welp, I derped, and forgot to DLDI-patch the flashcard autoboot file for the DSTT.
Re-download the latest TWiLight Menu++, and get the fixed flashcard autoboot file from there.

Alright that fixed the DLDI init failed error, but now I'm seeing a weird logo saying "NO CARD".

The flashcard's microSD card might not be correctly inserted.
Try re-inserting it.

I restarted my console and reinsert the card, it boot, I selected DSI panda thing on the selection console, and now I'm getting a white screen.

Why did you select the DSi panda unit?
Unless you are really using a DSi panda/dev unit, that's the wrong option.

LOL I though you select unit via the R and L button, anyway I selected new 2ds system and still getting a white screen.

Might have to launch TWiLight Menu++ using YSMenu then.

How would I do that? I tried launching the flashcart via ntrlauncher and Img getting the same issue.

Maybe I'm posting in the wrong thread, but, how's the SNES emulation compatability and speed? I noticed it in the changelog but didn't see it on the forums, my PC has been having trouble lately and I was NOT going to read 30 pages lol

The snes works great! (For me)

I mean install YSMenu as your flashcard firmware replacement, then launch the flashcard, and start "boot_fc.nds".

Speed is good on most games, and any game with SuperFX chip will not work.

That worked! Via NTR launcher, there are some missing stuffs on my menu though, for example I can't select the option to run via DSI mode, is that normal?

Yes, because the flashcard runs in DS mode.
Also, if you want to set ARM9 CPU Speed and VRAM boost options, then you must launch the flashcard using TWiLight Menu++ on the SD card, with the "SCFG access for Slot-1" option turned on.

Yep I am able to set my CPU speed, VRAM Boost, and Sound/mic frequency.
